BB Review

The greens were just aerated and full of sand so putting was terrible.
I spoke to super and he said he was going to blow off excess sand when it dried out. In fairness, the course was very wet in places from all the rain.
3rd hole is not very good because there is no real green. Hole was shortened and they never redid the green a couple of years ago.
Course is fun and short to walk.

OK for the money

Good for a quick 9. Course conditions were a little rough but its early season. One hole didnt have a green and there was lots of mud and water in sandtraps.

Gets you out of the house

If it's a cold day and 9 holes is all you want this course comes in handy. Other than that it's not worth full price. One hole has no green.

GOOD COURS

I thought the course was fairly good for the price that I paid. It is a great course to practice golf and the staff was very accommodating. I would definitely play this course again.

Apparently they are doing some work on the sprinkler system which didn’t interfere with play.
Although many tee boxes are pretty beat up the greens are good. Fairways are ok.
I was impressed with how well the grounds crew did cleaning up fall leaves.
Course is short but enjoyable especially from the Blue teres.
Good value for money especially when you get a Tee Off discount.

Quite possibly the worst course I’ve ever played

So so terribly bad. The third hole literally doesn’t have a green, just a hole in the fairway. Got lost twice, the map is terrible. Had to switch carts twice because two crapped out on me. Unbelievably bad, don’t come here.

Awesome course to work on your short irons - open year around I believe.

An addition of a pro shop would be nice .

I would come back - decent drive down broad street from center city .

Consistent

If you’re looking for a place to work out the clubs, search no more. The conditions were conducive to a course that was well maintained and passable from a challenging aspect. The staff and owners work very hard to keep this course worth coming back to for a quick practice 9. From a value standpoint it’s ok although I think there are other alternatives priced similar with a higher quality of fairways and greens. Search for deals making it more palatable and I would suggest to mgt, 15 bucks for the cart is excessive, 10 seems more fair. Again, great people and great to work on your game

Not worth your time or money

I thought I was getting a bargain, was almost a waste of time. Was skeptical when I saw there is no range, so showed up and started cold. Third hole is not on a green, just a flag in the fairway and has been so for over a year according to the locals. On the fourth hole - one of the few holes where long clubs are even playable - you are not allowed to use woods or drivers or long irons. Greens are ok which is why i gave the conditions a two star rating, but fairways are not mowed very short. Instead of coming here, find a different course. You may have to pay a bit more, but you will get more value for your money.

Course conditions generally poor other than greens!

While the tees are chewed up, the bunkers are in atrocious condition, and the cart paths are in terrible shape...the effort in maintaining the tricky greens should be noted. And at least the fairways are moved daily. But the price increases in recent years have not resulted any of the promised major improvements made by management.

No real improvement since last season!

You get what you pay for here - unless you pay full price without an online discount.
As noted in other reviews, the tees are a mess and the underbrush in some spots is untamed. But at least the small grounds crew keeps the grass cut every day and it has to be acknowledged that the fast sloppy greens are a bright spot. They can as challenging as any tour stop as long as they get enough water on a regular basis. However - despite past statements to the contrary - no attempt has been made to alter the deplorable conditions on the third hole by the huge amounts of dirt dumped there last year as a result of a major construction project on the adjoining property which cut off the green from the rest of the hole.

Way overpriced

Brutally overpriced at $40 for 9 holes for a below average course. I played with my son and 7 year old grandson and it was disgraceful that they charged us full price for a 7 year old. There was also a temporary hole that was embarrassingly short. The course conditions were decent but the cart paths were horrible making the ability to get from one hole to the other very difficult. Maybe if it wasn't so overpriced there would have been more than 10 golfers there on a sunny Sunday morning. We will never play it again or recommend it to anyone.
