Great

We were pleased with this golf course. Fairways and tee boxes were outstanding. Greens were very fast almost to a fault. For the average they would have extreme difficulty keeping the ball near the hole on any putt. Took me a few holes to get the speed and break down. Really an enjoyable layout with plenty of challenges. I will definitely play here again.

OK. But not what it once was.

Very dry conditions. Greens were just not receptive to very good approach shots. Ball repeatedly bounces over the green. Fairways and rough areas were sparsely grassed and very tight. I have played here many times and this was by far the worst conditions I have encountered. Great layout.

Great course, very poor condition.

I have played here many times over the past several years. It is on my list as a vey good layout and quality for what you pay. However, it was in very poor condition this time. Many brown and bare spots throughout the course. Some of the greens had very sparse and in some areas no grass at all. Sand had been placed over nearly the entire putting surfaces on many greens. Very disappointed.

Nice play

I found the course to be a very good play. Greens rolled very true and were in good condition. Some bare spots in fairways as expected this time of year. Staff was very efficient and friendly. Only issue was the condition of the bunkers. Very thin layer of sand in many resulting in some less than desirable shots. This course being older is very much like what is found in Florida on older courses. I enjoyed it and will play again.

Good challenge.

The staff at this course was outstanding. Friendly and professional. Overall conditions were good. Most courses in our area have suffered some winter kill due to very severe winter and early spring and Brickshire is no exception. Greens, tee boxes and most fairway areas were in unexpectedly good shape. If you like rolling terrain and wide fairways you will like this course. If you like long it has all you want.
A shame that two area courses, Royal New Kent and Stonehouse are closed and apparently abandoned by Traditional Golf. It would be a tragedy to lose two of Mike Stantz courses.

Nice

Very good layout with enough challenge for any level golfer. Play was slow but that is to be expected for a Saturday. All the staff are very friendly and make sure you enjoy your day. I have played here several times over the years and always enjoy the course.

Great course

This is a very strong challenge. Don't be fooled by several short par 4. The par 3 are all over 200 yds except for one. Virtually all greens are elevated making bounce or run in shots difficult. Playing surfaces are well maintained Deep faced bunkers make getting out a challenge. Played it from the white tees and it was still very difficult. It you are long and like evelated greens you will like this course. Staff was fantastic!

Very disappointed.

After wanting to play this course for several years, I was very disappointed with the conditions. Presence of weeds and very rough conditions of fairways, bunkers and area around the greens made for a poor playing experience. The reason for a rating of fair condition was because the greens were in very good shape and rolled very true. The pro shop contact was very pleasant. On a Sunday morning the course should have been very busy. It was not. Played in just over three hours. Lack of players was obviously caused by poor conditions.

Thanks for your response to my review. First, I was not squeezed in before an outing. I had a 10:40 am time which I had made by phone the day before. According to the Golf Now listings, there were plenty of available times all day at your course. Secondly, I did not make any comment regarding being behind a work crew. I did not see anyone working on bunkers and only one man mowing. I finished my round in around 3 hours. Third, I find it somewhat concerning that almost immediately after my review the same person would write almost identical glowing reviews just a day apart although he claims to have played it before and after me. There were no reviews of The Manor Club posted before mine. Interesting?
I stand behind my review as it was an honest assessment about the condition in which I found the course. Perhaps I can visit again in the future and find conditions more favorable.

GolfWarsII,

We appreciate your feedback on your round. We are sorry to hear that your did not find the presence of some weeds acceptable, and that the bunkers were not in good condition.

At The Manor Golf Club, we pride ourselves on utilizing chemical applications as a last resort, so our threshold for disease and weed occurrence may be higher than other facilities you are accustomed to.

We apologize for the condition of the bunkers. We had a substantial rain event the night prior. Our pro shop staff was able to squeeze you in before an outing, which unfortunately put you behind our maintenance staff who were repairing bunkers.

We hope the next time you come out to play the course you have a more enjoyable experience.

Great layout.

Had been wanting to play here since it opened. Great deal with a 3 round package with Tobacco Road Travel. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Many of the greens had bare spots and some were virtually bare. Still my foursome enjoyed the layout and overall positive experience. Don't see this track going private anytime soon regardless of their desire to do so.

Very rewarding round.

Played here over 30 years ago and had not returned until this round. What a very pleasant surprise. The greens were excellent and generally the fairways and tee boxes were in very good shape. This is not a long course but does require some accuracy off the tee and for your approach shots. If you are looking for value with a friendly staff and very good conditions, check it out. I was very pleased.
