It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. The foursomes that were let out were nothing short of inept when it came to pace of play. Waiting for groups to clear the green on a 315 yard par 4. REALLY?!?! If you are 50-60 years and are driving the ball 300 yards, I will personally pay your way to the Champions tour, but come on, keep up the pace of play. After I finally made my way to the club house to go in and get a refund for 9 holes, the guy at the counter kept asking if it was for a rain check. I told him no, I want a refund. Seemed super delighted to hand over a measly $10. I want to try this course again, but I honestly don't know if I can muster 7 hours out of my day to devote to this place.

I was greeted by a very friendly manager. Super nice and accommodating. The course itself is fairly simple. The layout is pretty basic and easy to play. I played by myself and got through 18 holes in 2 and a half hours. The fairways were okay. Everything was green and nothing was burnt out so that was a really big plus. My only negative is the greens were not fast enough. They were a little bumpy and hairy. Other than that, it is a great little track to play.

The front nine here is okay. Nothing too challenging. The greens are pretty burnt out in a lot of areas. There are no fairways. It is just literally shorter rough. That is really all I have to say about the front side. The back nine, I can write a dissertation as to why it is not great to play. Too wet, unkempt, wayyyyyy to narrow. They have a "Z" hole. The whole play of the back nine is just terrible. Not fun. The only saving grace was their 15th hole which I'll admit, was a pretty cool set up. To me, this course met all of the standard requirements to be called a golf course. It has grass, tees, and greens.

Shawnee Hills is a fantastic course that always plays a challenge because of the tight holes that are tree lined. The greens were spectacular and rolled very well. I really enjoyed how kept the fairways were. The rough played to be more difficult because of how wet it was and they had not had a chance to mow so it added some more challenge to your greenside shots. The starter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

This course blew me away. I was stunned at the condition to be honest. The tee boxes were properly mowed! The fairways were lush, and the greens were perfect. The course layout is really great. Nice elevation changes with rolling hills make you rethink shots to hit and really gives the course a nice challenge. My only gripe is that we played behind an outing which made the round close to 6 hours. Granted, that was no ones fault other than the outing for slow play. I would recommend Chippewa to anyone just for the course conditions.

The course condition is my only issue here. Know about it before you plan to play here. Hole 9 is under construction because of burnt out areas from last year. They are in the process of repairing it. They have turned the par 4 number 9 into a par 3 temporarily until there is a fix to the hole.

Most of the course is under some type of repair, most notably the bunkers. A lot of the bunkers were GUR. The fairways had a lot of dirt and dead spots. More than any course I have seen. The greens were in fantastic shape, the staff was beyond friendly.
