Linfield National Golf Club is a public course that is one of the area's best values. Formerly known as Sycamore Ridge, the course changed ownership in addition to its name. Since those two major changes, the course boasts better conditions and a renovated clubhouse. The layout has a classic links design that incorporates traditional elements including water, trees, and a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The up-and-down of the golf course is one of the most challenging elements of the layout. The course is tight with a few adjacent fairways but this configuration also allows for a bit of extra room for recovery shots. Some of the holes at Linfield National Golf Club are quite narrow but it is still possible to hit the green in regulation. Though the course is only 6,164 yards, the rolling terrain will make it seem much longer.

Good value for the money!

Course was in great condition and fun to play. They had some tough pin placements! Had a great front 9. Then a twosome jumped in front of us on the back and held everyone up the rest of the day. They were playing from the blues, which the one guy shouldn’t have, and playing multiple shots and just taking too much time. Unfortunately there were no rangers on the course to speed them up. Aside from that it was a beautiful day for golf and we’ll definitely go back!

Linfield has a rather funky layout on many of the holes. It is very tight causing many shots to wander onto adjacent holes.. This tends to cause a lot of lost balls and subsequent wait time.
Additionally, many of the players are obviously not regular golfers and lack conventional golf etiquette.
I found the course condition to be marginal at best however greens were in nice shape.
Our round took 5 hours. There was no ranger on the course. One 4-some had three groups backed up. There are other courses in the immediate area offering much better conditions and even better prices.

Poor communication and layout

Showed of for a frost delay. Not unusual in the fall, but they refused to give any anticipated time for the delay, which was very frustrating. The course was also very short. Only 2-3 driver holes.

Came back

Been a long time since I played there. Course had alot of damp spots all over and aerated greens. I like it better many years ago. A bit pricey for what it is now.

Pleasantly surprised

Greens softest in the area, looks like they water them regularly. Bunkers can use some work as many are either lakes or mud bowls. Some fairways have more bare spots than grass to play off. Pace was great, with our foursome finishing under four hours. Overall fun time and looking forward to returning.

Lazy Sunday afternoon round

1st time playing took my daughter with me very friendly staff. The course was in pretty good shape considering very little rain, greens were super fast some of the holes were quirky but all in all a very good round would probably play again

Nice Course

Course is in great shape considering the weather we've had. Staff is friendly. I usually play very early morning so the pace is probably quicker than later. The parking lot is usually full by the time I get leave. I highly recommend this course.

Okay Course..

Course felt short. A lot of par 3's. Navy fairways had severe brown and large dried up dirt to play off of, like a hard-pan. The greens were cut well, but very soft. Many ball marks and golfers just don't repair then here
