Just drive to Fairfield glades..

The course was fun and divot heaven. The course was completely empty and the front desk made me pay $22 + tax by the way, so that my girlfriend could ride in the cart with me. I paid over $70 to play this course and I should have just went to heatherhurst or Stonehenge. Who charges a $22 cart rider fee? Will not be back. Thanks

Retiree haven

The golf course is in great shape. However, the pace of play is excruciatingly slow. By playing partner and I finish the front nine in less than 2 hours. We ran into a log jam on number 10 with four groups on the whole. There was a group on the green, a group in the fairway, and two groups including hours waiting to tee off. It was like this the rest of the day. I had to skip three holes all the way up to number 18 just to finish on time to meet my family for dinner.

If you are thinking of playing this golf course I would highly suggest going out early in the morning when they first opened up or wait until the evening to try and avoid the crowds.

I’ve complained about the 5 hour rounds before so it’s only fair to complement on Clark rounds
Pace of play was excellent

Book an early tee time or you can't complete the course!

Very disappointed that they sell you 18 holes knowing you can't finish it. Tee time was at 2:09. They started me late to accommodate a large group that decided to go eat instead of play golf. So I waited half an hour for NO ONE to tee off. At the posted pace of play of 4 hrs 15 min, we should have been able to play up to 6:34, but they have you return carts by 5:50. "That's just the way it is," I was told. So they take your money knowing you can't finish and don't offer even an apology. Nor do they enforce the pace of play. If they had, I would have finished way early. Otherwise, course was fantastic.

Rushed

Had a 9:30 tee time for two. They were running behind on the starting due to frost. The people with 8:30 tee times didn’t tee off until 9:30, we were forced to add an additional 2 because they said they were way behind tee times. We tee’d off at around 10, with 2 golfers that were of much higher skill level and myself and my wife. They were very nice but it was obvious we were a hindrance to them. Then the rangers kept coming by saying we were running behind (isn’t that your fault for scheduling too many tee times back to back and also starting late????). Anyway we only player 9 holes of the 18 we paid for because we were feeling pushed off. We’ll be back but we’ll try an afternoon tee time to see if it’s any better
