Mount Vintage Golf Club - Vintage Course

Overall phenomenal Course. Love the layout, lots of water and bunkers which gives a good challenge! Pace of play was okay, not great but not bad either. Generally takes me 2-2.5 hours as a 2-some and it took us about 3.5. Again not bad, but not ideal either. Also the course doesn’t drain specifically well so wait 2-3 days after a heavy rain. Course employees are friendly but the “regulars” are standoffish and rude. Not that that affects the game, just thought it was good to note. Would/will play again!

For the price, you can’t beat it. Amazing course design with a lot of slopes. A little wet on our day but still playable.

One thing I love about this course is that it's 27 holes (3 9-hole courses) and you don't which 2 you're gonna play that day. All 3 are great but it is always a fun surprise. The only negative thing I can say is that the staff members were not pleasant or personable. I've played there between 7-9 times and each time the male attendent was unpleasant for no apparent reason. I dread having to encounter him before my round. Besides that I highly recommend the course. I'm new to the area and lived here for 1 year. I was expecting more "southern hospitality."

Really enjoyed the opportunity to play but the pace was so slow, only got 13 holes (1:40 tee time) in before cart had to be returned. Not enough carts for the groups so group in front of us had two walkers and two riders. Pace became super slow. Will try again another day for sure.

I just read the previous review on this course! I played that day an yes it was cold. I personally thought the gentleman in the shop was very professional. I thought the course was worth the price we were paying that day! I would definitely come back an play this course no matter how far I have to drive. So that being said, I think the previous review those individuals apparently do not understand what a dress code is because it doesn’t fit them! If you book through Golf Now the dress code is stated. So this is just my opinion, if you think your entitled to dress the way you want to and the price is to high for you maybe just maybe this is not the course for you. So, I sincerely hope you enjoy your next round wherever that might be!!

I have played this course maybe 50-60 times in the past several years, this was the most ridiculous experience I have ever had on a golf course. I will not return and I will not recommend this course to anyone of my golf buddies in the area.

Let me set the stage:

It was December 17th. Yes… December 17th. Temperature was in the 40s with a breeze. My in laws were in town for Christmas and because we had just had our 2nd child (he was 10 days old at this time). My father in law try to get a round or two of golf in everytime we are together. We’ve played golf all across the country together.

Well I didn’t want to play the phone game with the pro shop… so I went on GolfNow to see if there was anything available… and I booked a tee time for my father in law and I for $122 total for the 2 of us. Granted this course is absolutely not worth that price. I’ve played it many times for ~$30. The only reason I didn’t mind paying that much is because of the holiday / new baby / not knowing the next time I’d be able to play. Bottom line though: I wouldn’t pay more than $45 to play this course.

Mind you - this course is out in the middle of nowhere. It’s a 40 minute drive one way from my house to the course. The nearest convenience store is 20 miles from the course.

So we show up and check in about 30 minutes early for our tee time. We ask if we can hit a bucket of balls… and the pro shop worker says “absolutely, they are $10 apiece”. Recognizing that that’s pretty steep for a small bucket I reply “we will just split one”. The merchant replied “oh no, you can’t split a bucket.. you both have to buy one”. My father in law and I make eye contact and both think this is kind of a ridiculous standard and my father in law replies “ I think we’ll just putt”.

So we go out to the practice green for about 15 minutes to roll some putts in anticipation for a fun round. It’s about 5 minutes before our tee time and the pro shop worker comes out and says “I can’t let you go out on to the course”. I’m baffled and I ask “how come”? He replies “I can’t let you out there in those jeans. The members will get upset and start
Calling up to the pro shop”. Just so we are all on the same page, this is literally the first (and last) time I’ve ever worn jeans to a golf course. However, the reason I did it is because it was cold and windy and jeans hold in the warmth better than a pair of adidas or footjoy golf pants. My father in law is a member at one of the most exclusive courses in Oklahoma and they allow jeans on the course from November - February due to the cold. Also - I still looked nice. I had a long sleeved Footjoy collared golf shirt, with an Oak Tree Country Club vest, a Champions Retreat golf cap, and footjoy golf shoes on.

So I said “well do you all have any pants in your pro shop that I can buy so that we can play some golf? I just drove 40 mins and my father in law is in from 1500 miles away. This may be our only opportunity to golf for a long time”. He replies “nope we only have shorts in the pro shop”.

Then I asked if I could at least have a refund since I paid $122 and drove 40 mins and didn’t even get to make a full swing. He said “you’ll have to work that out with golf now”.

So we start heading back and I called GolfNow. They were nice as can be. The only thing they needed was to call the course and verify the incident from the course perspective. They have been calling the course for 2 days and can’t get ahold of anyone. Anyway - GolfNow ends up just giving back the $122 in credit.

All in all… from the range balls to the price/value of the actual course, to how they treated us… I wouldn’t recommend it or go back.

Great course, but wet conditions dampened our round.

This course is the best on Golf Now in the CSRA--it is also one of the ten best in SC- if you have not played-this course is a must---EXCELLENT ALL AROUND
