Very nice place!

The course is in fantastic shape, and the greens are perfect! This is a particularly interesting layout, as there are 6 par 3s, 6 par 4s, and 6 par 5s. Not a lot of courses have this, and certainly a nice change from the norm.

There is an overall more serious vibe at this course. The place runs on time, other golfers are courteous, and if you value your time this place has the best pace of play i have seen in a long time. Spring Hill is worth the price!

Disappointing patron experience.

Tee time of 1020. Foursome behind us, who said nothing to us, caught us on 7 but never waited more than 5 min (they were better than us, couldn't tee until we were on our second stroke) had marshal tell us to keep pace after completing hole 10 at 1230. Let the foursome behind us play through and still finished 18 in 4 hours, 15 minutes. (After waiting out a couple of downpours.)
First time on this course. Why is "pace" determined by fastest players? It takes a minute to put divots back and repair ball marks, a courtesy that we saw nobody else engaging in.

Just read your review. Sounds furstrating, and that is the hardest part of this game (especially when just taking it up). There always are players slower or faster. I have played for 20 yrs and still have problems like you described. Dont let it discourage you

Not quite the same

My golf group has played this course a number of times over the last several years, and we will continue to come here. But for some reason the overall condition of the course wasn't quite as nice as in the past. Not sure if this is covid related or not, but the tees, fairways, and greens were not quite as nice as they usually are.

Rude Staff

Alex the Assistant Pro was rude and non-sympathetic that we were hit into twice by the husband and wife twosome behind us that apparently snuck on without a teetime since they were members. There was literally 4 groups backed up on the 7th tee and Alex blamed Teeoff and Golf now as they "cannot manage online booking" They apparently cannot manage their local membership either not have the insight to not allow 6 twosomes in a row along with a tournament that ran late. Alex pretty much talked over me and took no responsibility nor offered any apology, solution, nor any type of compensation, as we were treated worst than public we were mere "Online Bookers" and members get the right of way. Poor customer service.

Our round at Springhill

The weather was perfect, warm with a slight breeze. This was a social round, three guys who have played mostly in the Salem area out for a bit different. The course was in great shape, just wish I could play well enough to really rate it’s difficulty ... it was plenty difficult for me, even though I pared three in a row. Enjoyable day. Will do again.

Uninspiring layout in good shape

Though the course was in good shape, I left without any recollection whatsoever of the majority of holes. Most were bland, straight, narrow, and short-ish, with minimal hazards. A nice enough walk in the park, but not a course that will make you think.

In contrast, the course just down the road (The Golf Club of Oregon) has several holes where you have to make decisions off the tee and/or work the ball to get positioned for the next shot. It's not as well-kept, but I'd argue it's a more fun course.

Rude staff over crowded great course conditions and value. Apparently there is a hierarchy at the course and members get priority followed by general public followed by “online bookers”

Not worth the visit

Very poor condition: (1)green plugging done too late in the year, (2)very poor greens not true and lots of equipment damage, (3) poorly maintained, (4) need to be careful of physical injury due to unexpected physical hazards, (5) due to poor condition many players don't attend to ball marks and tee/fairway divots, (6) club house availability is unpredictable! All a result of very poor course management!

In dire need of better management!

There currently isn't any restaurant facility, and it's my understanding from the members I was playing with, the club house management is rather poor and is blamed by members for not being to retain restaurant service.

It was also disappointing when we arrived at the 10th tee, the pro-shop had allowed 2 groups to tee-off in front of us, thus making us wait for 20+ minutes! And according to the members, this is common practice, especially when accommodating non-members who have paid for their round!

The course condition was also quite poor due to recent flooding. An event that, explained to me, occurs quite regularly this time of year!

Fast pace and well manicured, but...

...the course was abnormally wet (fairways, rough, and greens all soft). I am not sure why because it hasn't rained much at all in the last several months. I had several plugged balls throughout the round -- good thing for "winter" rules. Overall, Spring Hill Country Club is a fun course with a great layout and a must play if you're in/near Albany...especially if they are offering more HOT DEALS!

Very nice course to play

My wife and I played what is known as "Spring Hill" to us. The course was in very good condition, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (except for the ever-present mis-hits, but that's not the course's fault!)
