A very challenging but playable course.

Really enjoyed the course. Melrose like so many other offered no off course amenities. Club house / lounge was closed no food service except cart girl port a pots or the bathroom in the cart garage.

Terrible pace of play and greens

Waited on every hole, they allowed a 2 some to go 20 mins early which set everything back. A 3 some was in front of us and behind that 2 some which was supposed to be with me. The starter said I should skip hole 1 and maybe 2 and go catch up with them due to his mistake. Completely ridiculous, have never been told that before and refused to do it. We waited about 5 mins at every tee box and the greens were terrible. Course has a good layout and could be a great value if a little maintenance was done and the starter did his job.

Nice but challenging

Had a nice round of golf at Melrose. Used to be. Country club years ago and now open to public. Course is not easy as the course has a natural layout with hills, slopes, etc. and a couple of blind tee shots as well. Would definitely play here again,!

Glory Days Gone By

Overall this was a great value for the money. It is a bit of a shame to see the remnants of when this course was a bit more grand. The sand traps could double as swimming pools due to lack of drainage. The greens are a hot mess and were recently plugged. And the tree over-growth is a definite issue throughout. It would be great if ownership invested a bit in the course and the off-course amenities but i won't hold my breath. Fun place to play every now and again but nothing special in its current state.

Premium on shot making

This is a challenging course. Lots of OB you don't know is there until you're in it. Lots of blind shots. I had a fun time, but found scoring difficult.

Melrose Golf

The Melrose golf course was in poor condition. The price was too high for such condition. The greens were also in poor condition. The pace was very slow, no marshals. I will not play this course again.

Nice course layout with good conditions

Played here for the first time today. Like the layout of the course and the variety of height. Greens were thin on grass and lots of sand, and a few tee boxes under work. Overall enjoyed the round for the price , will be coming back
