Pa!metro hills lots of promise but not there yet

We were first off so pace of play was quick. 18 holes 3 hours 15 minutes. Course has severe slopes and fairways are too sparse to hold the ball. Greens were so long that there were runners or seed pods throughout. Not worth the 36 dollar rate. Note I shot 80 so this isn't a beef about a bad day but an honest assessment of the course.

Good challenging course

The course is challenging and the snakes are real lol. I like the layout of this course, which makes some holes very challenging. We were very fortunate that there weren’t that many people on, made the pace of play fast for us. The greens were a bit inconsistent at this time, but not bad. Now with the snakes… be careful going to the restroom out there, my brother thought it was a prank until he saw it move. Yes he ran back to the cart lol. Lose your balls into the woods, just drop it and continue. I will be playing here again.

Layout and shape

Seems like it could have potential but will require substantial investment. Greens were pretty good but fairways were very long, basically the length of rough at every other course I've played lately. Very large elevation changes but what was frustrating with course design was lack of landing areas. Some holes funneled good shots well off course which is probably why they keep fairways longer.

Hilly

Lots of hills, hence the name I suppose. Very challenging but fun course to play. Lots of blind shots, deceptive par 3’s , reachable in 2 par 5. Overall I enjoyed the round.

Pace of play

No one monitoring times off the tee. Also allow more than 4 in a group on a Saturday. Ended up asking to start on 10. Really could do a better job with pace of play

Super Slow Round

The course has a ton of elevation change and blind shots. The greens were brutally fast and often times a shot that missed by a few rolls rolled 20ft away and off the green. Group two in front of us was taking forever and course workers were only concerned about getting carts because they were obviously overbooked. No groups within 3 holes in front of them by the time we hit back 9. Can tell they are trying to turn this place around but 5.5 hrs was brutal. Would give it a chance again if in the area, but wouldnt make the drive just for the course

Winter golf

The new management is trying hard to renew life to this golf course. It is nice to see that the new management cares and are motivated to make this golf course a better place to golf.
The course conditions weren’t too bad for a round of winter golf.
I will come back and play I. Late spring early summer to see if there is a difference, but I am sure there will be quite a difference.
Good value for the amount spent.

March golf

Coming from Maine I’m not sure what to expect for winter golf. Fairways, tees and rough were sparse. Some greats holes, many blind shots however that are tough when playing for the first time.
The staff was exceptional. Got me out early ahead of a large group which made pace of play awesome. Would play again for sure.
