greens in trouble

Greens on road to ruin they need to work on them and had issues over winter. why not doing anything this far into season is a sad reflection on poor management and maintenance practices. I know run by military and that says it all.

not bad but not great

course was decent but some bumpy and bad spots on greens. Tight back none for sure but greens could be a little better. all they need to do is topdress them some and repair the bad spots. I know as took care of golf courses for over 18 years myself.

had fun but was wet rained overnight no carts

Had to walk no cart paths here but it was ok good work out. A few hills but no big deal. A nice course will go back some time when it is better dry day. I had played it in the past but realized it when I started playing. It has some very nice holes and good to play.

good round

Had a good time it was chilly out and few players so I just cruised around the course and played fairly well for the cool windy day it was. Beat the rain and just enjoyed the good practice I got in!

had fun but was wet reality last round of year

Had fun got out on a cloudy misty day trying to get in last round of year knowing lousy cold is coming in for the winter as days are getting shorter as well. Went out and played a quick round on a almost empty course. It was pretty wet and some shots were impacted by squishy conditions. However it was fun on a high 40's day with no real wind. So it was what it was, course was reasonable cart path only and you get what you expect.

nice place to play

pace was good but had bunch of people waiting to go behind us and for sure they were going to be slow. As they were those type of people who are known to be slow players, we were lucky to be in front of them and had no issues and played at a good pace of play.

fun to play good course

good golf course, with not very busy. Yet stuck behind a poor playing group that was slower than day was long. they were so bad could not hit ball 40 yards at a time any or the 4 players and were in no respect to let others through. Held up whole golf course. Yet nobody around to push them along. Otherwise was nice day and I would have played much better if pace of play was better.

tough on a windy day

course was very tough on a windy day especially the first few holes water and correct shots are a must to keep ball in play. I got beat on the front nine by the course but turned it around on the back nine even par. for a reasonable round. Almost feel the course should be the opposite so you can warm up to the front nine which by far is the hard side.

this course needs work

Still has dead trees everywhere needing removal has been plenty of time to remove all the dead Ash trees knowing full well ash borers were going to take them out. Also tees were terrible condition as well little turf and bumpy to stand on. Fairways could use some overseeding and work to improve as well. This course is old and needs some redoing to bring up to date condition wise for what they charge to play it.

nice place to play

Enjoy playing at Maple Meadows it is a nice course that rewards good shots and penalizes bad shots. I had one very bad hole due to bad shots but had several good holes with good play. My back nine was rewarding due to good play. Have played here several times this year and like the curse.

good course slow play however!

Highland woods is a good course to play but for some reason at times play can be slower than a snails pace! This time we played front nine not too bad but the back nine became a slow sad pace for no apparent reason. The course is not that difficult for reasonable play and was playing well this day! The pace was hit and wait every shot, hard to keep your game in a good click when doing this and I am a good player. My wife was not happy at all! Cannot blame the group in front of us as they were hitting a moving forward even though they had no business playing from the blue tees as low level players they were! But I am not one to tell people where to play from or how high their score will be. I am high 70's low 80's and in fact shot 81 only because it was so slow lost my concentration to keep on task.

good day to play but!

Course was ready to play but, restrooms were closed so my wife who needs to use restroom while out on the course was in a poor situation more than once. Made it through front nine but had to run back to clubhouse while out on the back could not finish course and was very unhappy as it effected he ability to play golf! Unfair to say the least. Course was in decent shape but amenities like both sets of bathrooms to be closed was unfair to say the least. Also on a very warm day water coolers were out of water? How hard is for staff to check them and keep them full for golfers to stay refreshed and have water! Also bad customer service and safety on a very warm day! But with bathrooms closed I guess they wanted you not to need to use the bathroom? Sad for a decent layout in reasonable condition to do this to people who would expect more!
