Slow AF

I thought I would return there to see if it is still the slowest pace around, and it was. Horrible waiting,I left after 12 hole. Waste of time

Great course. Will be back soon

I use to belong to Spanish Hills Country Club, but
had knee replacement and decided it would be best to withdraw my membership.

Now having golf the local golf courses, and recently playing at Sterling Hills,I don’t miss Spanish Hills!!

Super Windy, Super Fun

We were able to get out on an early Tee time on a very windy day. The course was super fun despite the wind, and since it was early, the pace was outstanding.
Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to getting back out there this winter.

Too many drying spots in the field of play. The fairways were full of leaves making it difficult to find the balls.

Not a good experience. Nobody told me that greens where just punched. Drinking water tastes pretty bad.

Sterling Hills

I have nothing bad to say about this course and clubhouse...the course is great and the help is always nice...the only GLARING issue here is the new putting green. It's pathetic and I guess it means that the weddings are more important than the golf. The green is so sloped and usually in poor condition...not worth putting on it. Gotta be a better way.

Randy the Starter

Great greens and pace of play. Variation of tee boxes is fun. But my god - If Randy isn't the worst starter I've ever encountered, I dont know if there is another person who could top him. He's the type of guy who's pleased to tell you bad news. Condescending jerk and I only spoke to him for less than a minute...what could I have possibly done in that short amount of time? Apparently nothing, because we asked around the other employees and they said that's not even the worst of him. He was upset we had a "Hot Deal" and decided to treat us like junk since we opted for a deal at the course. Not sure if Im very much enthused to go back to this course in the short term.

Can't play 5.5 hour round

As we Teed off at 10:00am the starter had indicated that the pace is already 35 min behind !
We Tee'd off on time and with in 20 min we're on the next hole having to wait for the group in front .
After they cleared to approach the hole we Teed off and we were off to the fairway . As setting up for our second shot with no one behind us course workers approached us to tell us we needed to pick up the Pace !!
Infuriating that you are telling us this when you can't manage your over booking !
Now feeling rushed it changes the whole experience
Long and short after waiting on every Tee box and fairway walked off after 13 holes at 4:45 min .
Love the course but I feel like I got taken , and after letting the pro shop in on the experience there was really no compensation or consideration other than thanking me for bringing this to his attention.
Love the course but can't spend good money on a bad experience

very improved course

The new owners have done a lot to improve this course. For me, what is great is that they have added women's tee boxes that allow for easier play and improved the pace of play. If you want a more challenging day, there are other tee boxes to pick from - 8 options in all!
