Awesome Conditions

One of my favorite tracks in the Cities. Course conditions are fantastic, very firm greens that roll true. Lots of pitch marks on the greens (players need to be more polite).... Fairways and fringes are perfect. Friendly staff, and bev cart makes steady rounds. Value is great, as this courses conditions are spectacular. Thpractice facility is really nice, practice greens are well taken care of, and their 3 hole practice loop is a very nice touch.

Solid Golf Course

Awesome 27 hole track. The Boulder nine (i believe that is what it is called) across the street is by far the best 9. Very well maintained golf course. The greens were a little rough, a bit fuzzy, but rolled well over all. Hard to keep tight greens when the weather is so hot, but the fairways were always the perfect lie. Friendly staff, reasonably accurate gps in the cart, and great drink prices. Exceptional value, if you can stomach the drive from the Cities.

Thank you for your positive review. We are glad you enjoyed the golf course. The greens are immaculate right now! The drive is definitely worth the value, course conditions, and the pace of play. Thank you for playing at Albion Ridges!

Awesome Layout

The course is nice, my problem was with the greens and the tee boxes. Tee boxes were uneven, and poorly manacured. The greens were nice, but again poorly manacured and extremely bumpy. The course had been rained on the night before, and it was a cart path only day, i have worked as a golf professional for 8 years, and this was not an instance where cart path only needed to be applied. Only a couple soggy spots on the entire course. As a result of the rain, all the bunkers were washed out, very poor design, or just too much abuse with the rains in Htown. It is a nice concept to be able to play replica holes, and overall the experience was fun, and the holes are very well done.
I have to say that their maintenance staff is trained very well, they are always aware of where players are on the course and do an excellent job stopping their work and quieting their machines for players.
Overall a nice track.

Amazing Golf Course

Small clubhouse, and bare minimum amenities... BUT all the money saved on those thing was/is put into the golf course. And boy does it show! Great layout that offers a variety of holes, and shots. Forgiving fairways for higher handicaps. (Only negative, the bunkers were in poor condition, but in fairness there was a 2 day rain a couple nights before). Course conditions are amazing, perfectly manacured fairways and greens, which roll true and can hold, and catch spin for more advanced players. (Only negative, uneven tee boxes, which are in nice condition other than the unevenness... just a pet peev). The staff is super friendly and accommodating, i had a 7am as a single, and the paired me up (which is fair), but the pro in the shop let me go off first. Finished 18 in 2 hours, and asked to replay, and they were packed, but they worked me in, which is greatly appreciated because playing this course for the replay price is nothing short of stealing. Pace of play was a bit rough, but not surprising, they deserve to be busy. Very fair food and beverage prices.
This is hands down the best course I have ever played that I booked on golfnow. Excellent value for the price.

Great Value

Play here alot. Value is great for price. The track is pretty fair, only 2 kind of wonky holes. Greens are usually in great condition, roll true, course staff needs to groom and clear debris more often through out the day thought. Tee boxes also need loads of work. Carts have a reasonable accurate gps. Overall a great course, worth the 30-40min drive from the cities.

Unfortuneate Bad Weather

Great looking course, but it was very cold, windy, and rainy/snowy this day, so the course was very wet. Neat looking layout though. Wish we could have played more. Staff was great, and friendly. Took care of us since we didnt finish. Cant wait to play in mid summer.
