Regulation Eighteen at Shawnee Hills Golf Course

I live in Bedford and having Shawnee in my backyard is great. They are accommodating to single players when they can. The staff is friendly and the course layout is challenging for both hackers like me and lower handicappers. The only change I would make us to switch to grass practice tee boxes rather than pads. The back nine has more hills if you are a walker but the fairways are a bit wider. The front nine has some tight fairways but not like others I have played.

the greens were great, nice roll. the course was in very good condition.

The course itself was incredibly green from all the rain. It was my first time playing it and the one feature that blew me away were how large most of the greens were. Think 2x-3x what you're used to.

The staff, this is what this review is for. They left a lot to be desired.

I've played worse courses but would come back because the staff was fantastic.

That wasn't the case here.

The clerk at the window to pay looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but here.

The ranger had no awareness of what's happening on the course as he made his rounds. In his gas powered cart, revving down the fairway as you're putting or teeing off rather than waiting until you had made your shot. This happened twice.

The grounds crew working away on the fairway and bunkers on a Saturday morning oblivious that they are holding up groups. Most places I've seen the workers would idle momentarily while you hit your shot. Not here.

The cart girl who flys by your group as you're putting out on a green and would've loved to grab something to drink....if she had only stopped until you were done putting.

Course was in great shape. The clubhouse doesn't open until 7:30 which is when our groups 1st tee time was so that made for a slight delay getting out. Must purchase tokens from clubhouse so if you have an early time, you should buy them in advance. Overall, happy with the course and service

While the course was in very good condition, the rough was very difficult to hit out of. It also made golf balls difficult to find.

Despite the rain All week the course was in good shape. Pace of play wasn’t too bad even though It was cart path only. Will not be using golf now the rest of the year however due to convenience fees of 10$+ on top of the regular price

Starter was very friendly. Green were in good shape. Only had to wait about 2 minutes for group ahead of us to clear.

Good condition, greens rolled, nice and fast, decent hot deal the fees for the metro parks courses are stupid dumb.

Course is in beautiful shape, especially with it being a government funded course.

I was quite surprized when i pulled up everything was in great condition not what i am used to when thinking of a city course. The front nine lay out is very playable for any skill level. The back is a little tighter and demands well placed shots. Greens are spectacular.

Well done to all the grounds crew.

Will definitely play it again.
