What a GEM!

If I live in the King of Prussia, PA area I would play discourse every chance I get and would not be sick of it. But since it is my first time playing the course compared to the other two that I played in Northern Virginia and in Pennsylvania the last three days this is by far the best course by a wide margin. If I come back to this area I will definitely played Jeffersonville golf district course AGAIN!

Maiden Voyage

I used to live in Alexandria, Va for 7 years a long time ago. Never played this course until now. Played with a nice couple who owns a Korean Restaurant in Beltsville, MD. Great layout. Good pace. Conditions pretty good for early March. If I can get the same rate again, I will come back and play when I visit DC area next time.

Sometimes it’s not about golf it’s about courtesy

Sometimes it’s not about golf it’s about courtesy. What a lovely day today in terms of the weather and being able to get out and play golf. I don’t mind playing a five ++ hour round but it didn’t need to be a five + hour around today with a foursome in front of us who were constantly at hole behind just didn’t really care about their slow pace of play. They were part of a large group that teed off around 11 AM. This started from the third hole, and their deliberate slow play continue that way the rest of the round. What’s worse is that they play from the tips but couldn’t hit a ball 150 yards straight. Every hole it must’ve been about 7 to 8 shots. I love the fact that America is land of the free and people can do whatever they want, but America is also about common decency don’t you think. If you are a golfer and you’re playing slow, it’s common decency to let the group through or just pick up the pace. I didn’t need to be a five hour around even though the day was a beautiful day. And the Crossing did nothing about this. I guess once they collected their green fees, They could care less. I will not come back to this place and play.

Good course but

I like Falls Village; I want so bad for it to return to better conditions overall. The people there are nice and I love the layout and the greens are great. I don’t know what happened to fairway grass?

Coming back

I live in Durham. Spending a couple of nights in Myrtle Beach. Just want to get around them before getting to the resort. Never play Brunswick before but glad that I did. I had a 1252 teetime, I got to the course kind of early. The starter was really kind and accommodating and let me start a little bit early. The course was in really good condition from Tee to Green. Got to give some props to the Grounds crew for keeping the course in such a great condition for December. Played in about three hours Which allowed me to get to Myrtle Beach before dark. I will certainly come back next time I come down to Myrtle Beach.

Great course but...

Good to return to RNK after a couple of years hiatus. Unfortunately, we played behind the last group in a huge group outing and turned the front nine at 2 hours and 55 minutes. Great course but just wasn’t fun. Left after 12 holes!

Great course BUT

Let me start by saying that the Challenge is a fabulous course and I always had good rounds playing there with friends and introducing friends who have never played the course. That being said, in this COVID 19 scenario and I having to take care of two immune compromised elderly parents, it is unreasonable to ask me to pay an extra $10 on top of what I have already paid for the round and cart just to have a cart to myself. The policy at the course is two a cart. It is not a deal breaker for me and I will come back to play but I rather walk than have to double up even though I already paid for round and cart.

Timberlake 1st time

Played the course for the first time. Staff extremely friendly. Interesting course layout with 3 par 3s on a 9 and three par 5s on other. Conditions are pretty good for winter golf. Greens roll smooth and fast. Played with two locals, Mike and Corky; wonderful company. I live in Durham and will come back to play next time I am down to Wilmington and back.

Good to get out on a cold day

I used to be a Ranger at the preserve many years ago. The course doesn’t suit my eyes very well, but there are several holes that I love#2, 7, 8, 13, 15, and 18. I appreciate how well it looks in the winter. Brushes have been cleared. The greens roll smoothly and very fast. Although sloppy wet from the rain, the ball sat up nicely in the fairway. Since they were hardly anyone out there, I played 18 holes in two hours and 40 minutes.

Hidden Gem but not any longer

I live in Durham (2.5 hours away.) I wanted to play golf and go to the beach, which would be a perfect day and it was. I booked a round on Tuesday at 12:25 at Castle Bay GC through GN. Never played at Castle Bay before. Teed off on time and even though it was hot, there was a gentle breeze that kept the round moving along. The fact that there were not any groups of 3s or 4s in front of me allowed me to play the course in about 3 hours and that was taking my time and enjoying the course. , I will be back.

What a hidden gem; what a great golf course, layout wise and condition wise. Hats off to the grounds crew and the staff at CBGC.

Hidden Gem

Haven’t played River Ridge in a while but glad I rediscovered it. Worth the 45 minute drive from Durham.

Love the layout; every hole is different. Given the fact that it’s the middle of June, the course is in great shape and the greens roll true and in a bit speedy.

I had a tee time at 1:36 but the course Marshall was super nice and accommodating and let me start a bit early and was able to finish the round in 3 1/2 hours.

Great job River Ridge

A good day @ the Crossing

Just wanted to get a quick round in before my daughter's second soccer game at Jefferson Cup. Checked in a tad early but Frank, the starter was very nice and paired me up with a three-some from Richmond (Mike, Jeff, and Paul) who were very kind to let me join in and get an earlier start. Hospitable and friendly guys. Though I only played 16 holes because I had to go, it was a good round of golf on a sunny but windy day. Aeration that were done two weeks ago not much of a factor. Layout is good and course should look really nice once everything greens up.

Difficult to tell

When I lived in Alexandria Virginia, I’ve always wanted to play Bulle rock. After 26 years, I finally got a chance to play. Right away I was a bit disappointed when I was told that only the front nine was open and the back nine was being aerated as I was checking in. The front nine was good. Layout was OK. Play with a member and he was very friendly. Glad I got a chance to go play golf in the middle of March but not for the $50 I paid on a teacher salary for this course. My comments may be a little different if I had a chance to play the back nine which seems like The prettier nine.

Really nothing wrong with the course. Just neutral about it. Just want to play today and my father in law wanted to play near his house and so WG was the choice.
