Awesome

This course is in absolutely amazing shape! I was in town for a wedding and have not played this course in 17 years, what a gem they have turned this into. Pace was great and greens were perfect!

Great city course

Played a 630am round, starter let us tee off early. Course and greens were in great shape. Fun to play and still challenging. Lots of hills.

Excellent challenging course

Benson is a excellent course. The greens are super fast and in great shape. The course is always in great shape also. They just installed a number of new cart paths so the course was a little tore up around the paths but it did not affect play. I would recommend this course!

Fun course to play

The course was fun and a little challenging on some holes. It will be nice when all of the new cart path construction will be done.

First Time Playing

Golf Etiquette is Lacking in NE

We were paired up with another 2 some.
They decided playing music was the way to go.
They also liked to talk while you’re hitting your ball. Also liked shuffling through the cart while you’re hitting.
As I am walking off of a green to my cart, the group behind us shouts FORE. No Apology later either. It was a slow day, we were right on top of the group ahead of us. The people behind us were a 3some. Tee times are too close together.

Red

Course was in good condition for the fall. Possibly over booked, very slow play. Maybe cut back on number of tee times per hour.

Always a great course to play.

The staff is great to talk to and the course is always fun and challenging. You never have the same round twice when you play here and for the price makes it a weekend getaway every time.

Do not play!

Pace of play was horrid. Thankfully the weather was mid 70’s so waiting wasn’t atrocious. Gave up with 2 holes left because of wait. Do not waste your time.

Great Experience

Love this course because it is challenging and open! Not too many trees yet is long enough and has enough hills to challenge any golfer. The staff does a great job keeping this course in shape. Highly recommend.
