Mohegan Sun Golf Club
Played On 04/30/2017Deceptive
An interesting course that has had some major work on it over time, clearly. Some holes are just like nothing else on the course and would be considered "tricked up." But, I don't mind that. It's a lot more challenging than it suggests. The greens are an absolute bear, some are unfair, depending on where they set. Overall, a pleasant, fun experience. a bit pricey for the experience.

Here's a course which someone, at some point, dumped a lot of money into, but has since slid. Everything is a bit worn around the edges. The club house, the course, etc, it's all a bit faded.
The course overall has a very good layout with some extreme elevations. Unfortunately, some of these extreme elevations means you have some rather ridiculous holes like 9 which is god awful. Ten is one of those holes that had they made a par three would be incredible, but instead they made it a par four and it becomes cheesy.
Most of the greens are in mediocre condition with some big patches of just dirt, otherwise they are fast. Most of the greens have a major hump, multiple levels or ridge that make them very challenging - too challenging for the average golfer.
No complaints about the teeboxes or the carts. The staff is very accomodating and friendly. The lunch there is far better than one might expect. The turkey club is awesome.
I'll go again if I get a discount. I would never pay full fare for this place though. Mansion Ridge is a better deal for the money.
