Par 3 at Shawnee Hills Golf Course

If you like a SHORT DOG TRACK.... With no PAVED cart paths and UNFRIENDLY STAFF then this is the place for you.

My “back” gave out on the 8th hole and had to sadly not finish my round. But I had paid for 18 holes. So I proceed to hit the clubhouse where I thought a 9 hole rain check would easily be obtained. 1st I’m told I can’t be served without a MASK. Didn’t need a MASK when I paid them for 18 holes of Golf (IRONIC). Lady said I could only get a rain check for 9 holes if it was RAINING.

JUST BAD BUSINESS IN MY OPINION.

Unfriendly

Good luck if you play there.

Played with my wife on this course and we liked it and planned to play again next visit.

The course was in nice shape. I was paired up with another person and we both had an enjoyable round. This is the second time in a row that the round took way too long to play because of a group two in front of us that was not keeping pace. I tried calling in to the clubhouse and after 20 minutes trying to get someone to pick up the phone, I relayed my concerns to them and asked that they send a ranger to get the group to play faster. They said they would mention it to the starter, which does no good since they never sent anyone out.

Pace of play was great, had starters for the front & back 9 keeping tabs as well as a drink cart we saw several times. Course was in good shape some brown spots in the rough & a few tee boxes torn up. On Metroparks courses a consistent frustration is divots on the green- not nearly as bad here.

Great condition even after an all night downpour. The greens rolled true!!

Good middle of the road course. Overpriced when compared with other options in the area. Being a metroparks course they have plenty of $$$ to keep courses in nice shape, but they are starting to over charge for all their courses.

Today was great! Staff was friendly, the cart was sanitized and the course was spaced out perfectly.

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.
