Great place to Golf!

The course was well maintained and layed out well. The greens were true and pin placements were challenging, but not to the point you couldnt score well. The only thing that would have been an improvement would to be a beverage cart on the course.

The only negative is the lack of sand in their bunkers.

Lots of trees and sand bunkers. Fairways are usually on the narrow side so accuracy is important. All par 5's are reachable for a medium to long hitter. The greens are moderately fast and true.

Beautiful facility and course

Everything is in perfect condition and a beautiful setting. Fairly busy, but pace moved along well. We had a cart, but would have been a relatively easy walk. Reminded us of the great old courses in Portland, Rose City/Eastmoreland. Pretty $$$$ normally, but we got a great deal on Golfnow.

Great, maybe greatest, value with GolfNow.

I have played this course about 15 times during the past 6 months, mostly with GolfNow's tee time hot deals, which can't be beat. Seriously, par 72 semi-private, 18 holes with cart for < $25 per player? This is a great value. Course is very pleasant, mostly flat. Pace of play around the 1:08 tee time is slow at times, but later afternoons look great. I know "go pound sand" did not originate with golf, but if it did, it could have been at Albany. Shallow layer of sand barely covers hard pan clay. When wet, play it like a normal chip shot, as in don't hit it fat. This is my only real complaint about the course, and unfortunately, I hit several fairway and greenside bunkers on Sunday: SSDH. Greens seem to be improving; they suffered from fungus last summer. I hear grumbings that long time members unhappy with opening to public. Short answer is economics. If want a private club, dues must be higher. To members: encourage non-members to join instead of badgering them. Yes, I am sympathetic to member concerns. I repair mostly ball marks on greens besides mine, but I don't appreciate the smug attitudes some members have towards the public.

Good challenge

This course is a little bit different as the layout is 3-3's, 3-4's and 3 par 5's on each side. I like it that way tho. It was in very good shape the day we played even tho it had rained the night before. I recommend it highly.

Very well maintained

the course its self is fantastic but the layout for the facilities is a little bit confusing if your a first timer to the course. But all in all you can't go wrong just ask someone where to go once your in the parking lot.

Excellent

Albany Golf and Event GC ( we know it by it's former name of Spring Hill) is still a super golf course. For no known reason we had not been there for a couple of years and are quite pleased to have returned .

The course is optically appealing featuring great flora landscaping and aquatic vistas and will only get better as spring weather arrives. The arborist there clearly enjoys her work. The greens are receptive but challenging. A couple of new tee boxes have been built since our last visit adding length to the course. The fairways are well manicured , the rough not too tough, but quite lush and penal near the greens, as it should be, imo.

I honestly can't think of a better place to play golf in the Willamette Valley.

Great value and quality course.

The course was in good shape considering the recent rains. Greens need attention but haven't been sanded or aerated yet. Staff is great and very accomodating. Look forward to playing again.

Great value!

Great value and a very enjoyable day on the course. A bucket of balls, a cart, and 18 holes of golf for two for under $45 through Golfnow is a super deal! The course has a set-up one doesn't normally see: equal numbers of par 3s, 4s, and 5s.

Nice course, pretty good shape for early March in Oregon.

This is a great place to play for the money. I paid $25 for 18 holes with a cart and the course was pretty nice. The fairways were firm which is something I havent seen anywhere this time of year in Oregon. The greens were rolling very nice, although they did have some very small dead patches on some of the greens, they werent bad enough to take away from the rating. The course is fairly short, even from the blue tees, however the somewhat tight tree lined fairways and small greens do still give the course moderate difficulty. I plan on going making this course part of my regular rotation of places to play, you just cant beat the price for a quality course.

Easy to walk an well maintained.

Overall the course was in good shape. Pace of play was great, weren't pushed and wasn't waiting on anyone. I have played this course a lot and always enjoy playing here. The staff we had interaction with seemed somewhat dismissive and I got the feeling from them that I was interupting them or bothering them. Once we moved to the driving range and course all was well. The people we met on the course, including the groundskeepers were great. Shutting down equipment while we played by them. Overall satisified with the course, but proshop staff could be better.

Great course to play.

This course is one of the fairest courses to play. With 6-3 Pars, 6-4 pars, and 6-5 pars, hard to find. Trees, water, sand traps all there to challenge you. Good drainage for winter golf.
