This course is made for longer irons, hybrids and some fairway woods off the tee with wedge shots into the greens. It has some challenging holes and several opportunities to make mistakes and to make pars and even birdies. Snack Shack was open and brats off the grill at the 9th hole were excellent. Long and narrow course is perfect for walking and the houses and sites that are passed are historic. Good course for all levels of golf.

Course never disappoints. It oozes history and charm from another era. Fairways and greens in pristine condition with tee boxes showing the course is getting a lot of play. Walking helps keep it that way.

Always enjoyed playing this course through the 2017 season. It was closed for 2018 when a sale fell through and the course reopened in 2019. It will probably take a year for the course to return to its previous form and no doubt that will happen. This is to be expected anytime a course is left to nature for a year. Staff is friendly and dedicated to making sure the product returns to its previous condition which was excellent. Views from many holes are panoramic and a nice change from the flat layout of many other area courses. Worth a try.

Was in the vicinity to pick up a camera and booked a round at Bristol Oaks. Course is a little difficult to find the first time, but is worth the effort. Rain had covered the area the previous two days and course was quite soft, but greens were moderate to fast. Not a lot of water in play, but plenty of bunkers to protect the greens. Will play there again when I'm in the area. Good value and course is in superior condition.

Golf and the course seems to be of secondary interest to some of the staff. Course played well on the day I went even after some seasonal rain. Pace of play was a bit of an issue on the front nine. Had to go back and replay a couple of holes due to backups. Weather was in the high 40's, but little wind so was playable. Good course to walk and the price was right for end of the season play. Greens and tee boxes were in good shape and several ball washers were full. Course requires some management, but a good layout to try many shots. Plan on returning next year.

Temps ranged from 68 to 73 F during play with winds under 10 mph. Course was a little wet for the first few holes and then the sun dried it out quickly. Not too much evidence of flood damage from early in the summer. Pace of play was a little slow especially on the front nine, but quicker on the back nine. Greens were in good shape and course presented some challenges, but mostly had broad, clear fairways. Best change they made was to forgo the $2 deposit they previously required for the carts. That made the round a lot more pleasant.

Booked a round on GolfNow for a solo with a cart included. Turned down the cart at the course since I like to walk and this course is very walk friendly. The pair in front of me had an issue with a ranger of taking separate carts which should have been cleared up at the time of checking in rather than at the first tee. It was not resolved. Otherwise, course was enjoyable to play. Did not eat or drink anything after the round as previous experience with the food and beverages has been mediocre.

I play BB 3-5 times a season and would play more except it's almost an hour's drive away. This day was different with wide variations in the spring weather. My partner brought along a cart cover which kept us out of the wind and that made a big difference. Course was in excellent condition and the greens slower than they would be in mid season. Staff is always helpful and the food and beverages are a plus after a round. We played this one in 3.5 hours and neither pushed anyone nor were pushed during our 18 holes. We'll be back soon.

Was paired up with three other players, two men and a woman. The men were all high handicappers, but our play improved over the length of the round. Course had some spotty greens and missing grass in the fairways. This is not uncommon for courses in January. In the end, the good nature of the players, the beautiful weather, the friendliness of the staff and the contours of the course made up for any deficiencies and we all enjoyed the round. Will be back to play again.

Course showed up on GolfNow. I played it 20 years ago in a group event before I learned how to play. Paired up with a really nice guy and we played from the senior tees. I had a cart included, but prefer to walk and it's a very walkable course. If it shows up as a special on GolfNow I won't hesitate to book it again.

Played on a wednesday. There was a group outing in back of us so we had to play 18 holes in three hours. Fortunately, it was clear ahead of us so we completed the round. Course was in excellent condition with the exception of a ball mark on the greens now and then, but overall it played well. First nine was a difficult links layout and the back nine a little more traditional which gave us a great overall experience. Plan on playing this course again this season.
