Galen Hall Golf Club

Greens were ok. Some of the tees are dirt. The bunkers have a lot of rocks and stones. The replacement superintendent added some new bunkers a few years ago must to make it tougher to play also added high grass around them I think he forgot to add sand in them. Goose droppings on some greens and fairways the cart path on two hill is a death run. I was told numerous carts have rolled on the path. One last thing they tore the restrooms down and there are none to use.

Cart path on two is very dangerous. The bunkers have tons of stones in them and the new bunkers have tall grasses around them which slows play while you hunt for your ball the new superintendent has made the course even harder to play. They tore the restrooms down at hole 12 and nowhere to go.

Played Galen Hall with 3 of my brothers today, conditions were tough (high 50s, rainy and very windy) but we had a great time. I wouldn't say the course is in great shape but it's a phenomenal course regardless. The layout is very interesting and challenging, incredible value for the price. If I didn't live over an hour away I'd play this course all the time.

got roll on the fairway, but unfortunately, the greens weren't holding. That's golf! it took some skill to get up and down.

The course had some significant changes in elevation and blind shots. The greens were also small compared to easier courses. These attributes, along with some tilted fairways added to the challenge. I truly enjoyed my first play on this course and will be back to enjoy the challenge again. If you are a golfer looking for a different experience I would recommend this course.

Amazing Findlay/Tillinghast design !
They are turning over in their graves as the course was jammed with tight interval tee times. 5+ hours was brutal !
Snack bar at the turn was closed despite being told it would be open - hungrier than normal after waiting on every shot !
Course could use some TLC on the tees and traps, but I can overlook that based on their operating budget - but no ranger in sight all day is inexcusable as they are bringing in increased revenue and admittedly were understaffed.
What a conflicted day enjoying the deign on almost every hole and then getting frustrated with the wait on every hole !

A lot of ups & downs. Greens in great shape. Tee boxes & fairways in good shape. Some cart path problems.

I always enjoy this course. It has a good layout, with several interesting holes. The course demands that you hit the ball to the correct place, as The ball will run completely off some of the sloping fairways. The greens have a lot of undulations, and can be severe on some holes. Friendly staff, and a nice outdoor area set up under the pavilion for a beer afterwards.

Love the layout with ups & downs everywhere. Greens & fairways in good shape. Tee boxes in terrible shape. Some cart paths need big time attention. Parking lots also need some work. Not a good course for beginners.

This is an unusual course and be ready for some unusual bounces. It is a fun course with a good mix of holes, and the first course I've played with 6 (!) par 5s.

While there are trees on the course if you do an adequate job controlling your tee shots they are out of the way. But you can stripe a drive down the middle and either roll out into the rough with steeply titled fairways, or be in the middle with the ball well above or below your feet. It's like the built the course on rock outcroppings.

The greens were in good shape but inconsistent with some fast and others slow. Not sure why since they all looked similar. And some tee boxes are in terrible shape, but that's typical for this time of year except at very expensive courses.

Overall, it's an excellent value and worth playing simply for the experience.

Tee boxes need a lot of work Greens & fairways great.

Galen Hall will humble you while amusing you. Rolling and tumbling from hole one through 18, you may be laughing or crying, but never yawning. A very tough demanding course which you will never forget! I love it!!!

This is one of several courses that I have played, this year. It is, by far, in the worst condition of any. I have played here, before, and have loved this course, but was truly disappointed, this time. The tee boxes are in very poor condition, with a lot of mud and bare spots. The fairways have much of the same, in many areas. I have played.much better maintained courses, with lower greens fees. This course was not worth the weekend rate that I played at. I won’t be playing here, again, this season. Hopefully, next season it is in better condition.
