Very Nice Course In Great Condition.

I haven't played this course in 30 years and was not disappointed at how nice this course really is. I've heard mixed reviews but I give it a 9 out of 10 rating. Most of the greens were in perfect condition. The fairways are tight (cut short) so ball striking had to be near perfect to get off a good shot. The layout of the course is somewhat to fairly difficult. If you don't drive the ball well you will be in trouble most of the day. If you haven't played this course I would give it a try. I will be back again this year a couple more times.

Perfect day

Course was in pretty good shape.. Rough was long , the spots that were mowed were tons of clippings. Greens and fairways were great.. Greens were lighting fast. Can't beat $20 for 18 holes and a cart. I enjoy the layout. Teed off at 9 and saw no one in front or behind me all day

Very Nice !!!

Have not played here in over 30 years. This is a challeging layout and in very good condition. It seems to play longer than the stated yardage. It will not be that long before i return back. This is a good course to add to your play list.

Fairways are decent but green fair - Horrible Customer Service

Course was soggy but fairways were decent. Greens need alot of work. The staff do not like or appreciate Golf Nowers based on their comments and negative feedback. I got to the course about 45 minutes early and the course was nearly empty. When I requested to go ahead and tee off early as a single (I booked as a single) they said I must wait until the others showed up because of the cost of the cart. When I stated I saw a single in a cart going of the back nine they said "He's not Golf Now". I will play elsewhere that appreciate Golf Nowers.!

Wonderful condition

Course was a pleasure to play and in top condition. Greens were smooth and true. Even tho the website says Full service practice facility, there is no driving range but there is a chipping and putting green. Signature hole #8 is great challenge. Clubhouse is outdated and very small.

Played long today

Greens were aerated, fairways had a lot of leaves and were very soft. Tees were set way back so it was long and challenging. Great golf course in the summer.

Above Average Course Condition/Horrible Customer Service

The course was in average to slightly above average condition but the senior citizen running the counter was absolutely horrible. Two of our three people arrived 45 minutes early and checked in our threesome due to an work emergency our third notified us he would be unable to make our 1:37 tee time, notification came 30 minutes prior to our tee time. I went in and checked with the girl at the counter if it would be an issue to tee off 15-20 minutes late. She said no problem there was no one else booked behind us and I started to walk out and the senior citizen jumps in and says we must tee off within 15 minutes or our scheduled time or we forfeit our round and have to pay again. Telling me that is their policy and that he doesn't care about people who use golf now because he nor the course see any money on golf now tee times. After having an exchange of words with the gentlemen he finally offered to have us tee off 15 minutes late and to let the other gentlemen drive out and meet us on the second hole. His overall reasoning was golf now people and I quote, "think they can do whatever they want and show up whenever they want and that out of 800 golf now tee times 40 have been late." This was my first time using golf now at this course mind you. But this was just the first half of the issues at Punderson and with this crotchety old man. Let me preface I understand meeting your time is important but didn't understand why it was fine if it wasn't booked with golf now and why it was a major problem once he saw we booked via golf now. Once we finally got going after making the turn came a downpour for about 45 minutes to an hour. We waited out the rain under some trees and drove in after the rain slowed down. He then said we would not be offered rain checks since we booked with golf now. And anything related to that had to be done through GN. I call golf now while in the proshop and golf now calls the course to inquire about the rain and see what the issue was. He goes on to tell them that it drizzled for a moment but the course was open and taking tee times. Mind you, he said this to stop us from getting a rain check. Golfnow then returns to my call and says the course says they are open but states something didn't sound right and was going to help us out. As I am talking to her the other two golfers say to the guy, you could have handled that better and he says i looked you guys up and you have never played here before and won't be missed. He clearly doesn't understand that we were trying the course out to see if we wanted to make it a regular course in our rotation. After I complete my call with golf now he says to our group. The course is still open and carts are open to use the fairways if we wanted to go back out because golf now wouldn't offer a raincheck since they were still open. He says this not knowing they assisted us. So we go out and attempt to finish the round out of pure spite and dealt with rivers in the fairways and streams on the greens. Overall, as you can see this was not a very positive experience and it is very unfortunate because we enjoyed the first 9 before the rain hit and we would have starting playing there regularly had it not been for this man. So my advice to you all is if you like to play a long and somewhat fair course and don't mind terrible customer service play at Punderson. If you like playing a normal or above average course that actually appreciates your business I would recommend any other course in the state of Ohio.

Great Value

Made a last minute reservation on GolfNow and it turned out to be a good decision. The course was in excellent condition with well maintained fairways and greens. The pace of play was good. Finished our round in less than 4 hours. The course plays a little long from the white tees (6600 yds). $30 green fees including cart was a great value.

Punderson, great course, but beware of other park activities

Played there yesterday and really liked the course. A great course & a day with great friends was overshadowed by a LARGE party at one of the public spots in the park. It was about a 1/4 mile from the golf course entrance drive with probably close to a thousand people. DJ playing music and emceeing was SO DARN loud, you could hear it even from the furthest spot on the course. VERY, VERY disturbing and distracting. Listening to an emcee give step by step instructions on line dancing is very distracting during a golf swing. As much as I like the course, I don't think I would ever play there again on a weekend during the day, unless of course the park can confirm there is no function going next door.

Great day on a great golf course

I have always liked playing at Punderson. It is challenging but you can still get away with some errant shots. The course was in surprisingly great shape as we haven't had much rain in the last month. Hats off to the maintenance staff for keeping it so green. The pace of play was a bit slow but steady. We will definitely be back.

A very nice layout. Have not played here in over 10 years, and unfortunately they have still done nothing to address pace of play. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape, greens were terribly bumpy.

Good course

Played Punderson for the second time this year. One thing that stands out is the greens. Some of the best greens around. (There was one hole where there was disease/damage in middle of green though.) Another is that the course is a little long. Its in pretty good shape but like other reviews stated there were lots and lots of grass clippings pretty much everywhere. The rough was thick so finding errant shots can be a tough task. There are some mature trees lining the fairways on the front but it isn't overly thick. The back nine plays a lot easier. Hole 8 is one tht you might want to keep the driver in the bag. Two of the par 3's were over 200 yards. The bunkers were well taken care of and groomed. I got a great Hot Deal on Golfnow.com. I recommend playing here unless you're a high handicapper. Its not an easy course to play. But those greens....cant say enough about how well they roll.

Needs attention

The course was wet and was designated as Cart Path Only. Still, no excuse for the marginal attempt at upkeep. Course was in generally poor condition compared to many times having played it previously. Having an employee fix a few ball marks on the greens and raking sand traps would be a huge improvement.
