Melrose Golf

The Melrose golf course was in poor condition. The price was too high for such condition. The greens were also in poor condition. The pace was very slow, no marshals. I will not play this course again.

Nice course layout with good conditions

Played here for the first time today. Like the layout of the course and the variety of height. Greens were thin on grass and lots of sand, and a few tee boxes under work. Overall enjoyed the round for the price , will be coming back

Course needs work, specifically many of the tee boxes and fairways. Although it’s the beginning of the season, hoping the green grass comes in and course is in better shape by end of May. Greens were punched about two weeks ago so that was an issue. The traps were amazing, you would have thought you were playing at a private club. I do really enjoy the course layout, not a long course; however, the greens are very challenging with many undulations and one can see how it was a nice private club many years ago. Had to wait on almost every hole since they are trying to generate revenue so they allow everyone to play. Hoping to try the course again once the conditions improve since as I mentioned a nice layout

Not a bad value course…

Not a bad value course, rates are reasonable and conditions are acceptable especially given the current season. Only huge issue is the pace of play, getting stuck behind a foursome who takes 20mins.+ on a par 4, with no regard to any other groups behind them ruins the experience. If I wanted to play a 6 hour+ round I’d make my way down south to play in some warmer weather at least. The course needs a ranger.

Melrose

I always enjoy playing this trak, just wish it were easier to drive to. As the crow flies, it is only 16 miles but can take upwards of an hour to battle Philly traffic.

Staff is always very friendly. Greens were in decent shape and so we're the traps, for this time of year. Plenty of elevation changes and interesting holes. It is very easy to get into some serious trouble, so it is much more important to value accuracy over distance.

Good bang for your buck

For the price, this course is a lot of fun. Creative shots, decent fairways. Greens can be runny, majority of tee boxes aren’t horrible. Besides the sand boxes (which obviously I don’t spend a lot of time in) I’m a fan

Why have a phone if you don’t answer it?

These goofballs had a tee time available for 4 with carts then the option disappeared so I tried to call them and see if I could modify my tee time but nobody wants to answer the phone and assist you, course isn’t even anything crazy nice how are you guys too busy to answer the phone? Like is everybody that works there just on the putting green putting around or do they just hate customers?
