The executive-length course at Continental Golf Club is a popular choice due to the friendly staff, convenient location, and challenging game. The course features undulating greens that are in excellent shape, as is the entire course. Unique mounding surrounds the narrow fairways. A drainage ditch and two lakes also come into play on the golf course. The signature hole is the par-4 18th hole, which calls for not only a tee shot but also an approach shot over water. The course plays fast but it is still quite enjoyable. Continental Golf Club also has practice facilities including a large driving range, putting green, and practice green.

Nice Executive

Fun course. One of few courses in area that was not cart path only and no 90 degree rule. Staff was exceptional all around, impressed that cart crew wiped down our clubs. We will play again on next visit to the area. Pace of play was good.

Decent Executive Course, good value

Pace of play was great, very friendly staff, course was in good shape, par 4 fairways are in nice condition and you get a good roll on the greens, I don't understand why the tee boxes can't be kept in better shape. A fair number seemed to have more sand than grass..It was disappointing to see this condition so soon after overseeding. In the overall scheme of golf, I'd still play the course for the current price.

Slow pace of play

A glacier moves faster than the playing pace at this course. And on top of players moving like slugs, having to play cart path only made the experience even more painful (and slow). I understand this is an executive course with unskilled/older players, but over four hours to play is unacceptable for a par 60 course.

Another day at Continental

Lets face it. This is not a 5 star course but that is absolutely ok. If you have been there before you know what your getting. And price wise its nice this time of year. Rarely do I see a cart with beverages on it. If you ask for Ice for your Cooler you will be pressed to buy something to put in it, even if you just brought some water bottles. On this day I only dealt with the cart guy and he was nice but did apologize for just how horrible the conditions of the carts are. Stated new ones are coming in Feb. The problem today was the water. LOTS OF WATER. Not like lakes or hazards but huge standing spots of water. Nothing like striping a drive only to have to fish it out of the water that is the middle of a fairway. At the end of the day, I had a fun afternoon with a friend. Im not a professional golfer and I dont expect every course to be 5 stars at my level

The layout course is fun and the fairways were in good shape. Greens a bit slow but it’s expected after over-seeding.

Good value for the money

Good value for the money. Tee areas definitely need some help, greens were good and fairways decent. Overall, I’d say it was a good course that just needs some maintenance.

Course appeared to be in-process of getting ready for annual seeding. Not a problem though. Sand traps could use attention. Not the best. Overall good experience. Will make a point to come back.

A lot to be desired...

Course need's much more care and attention. The tee boxes are below municipal golf course standard. How on earth can the green keeper not know how to put a new pin position hole into the green and the old hole is 2in lower than the green... It is not difficult to level the old hole with the green. Pace of play was great 18 holes 2 hours 20 minutes.

Good Course, tee boxes under maintenance

Had very early tee time which helped to get out early and not stuck behind someone all day. Lots of tee boxes on back 9 under maintenance which cause for many holes to be same distance.

It’s been a while and I remember why!!!

Played after 4pm, went to place drink in golf cart and the whole top came off!! Greens were ruff divets looked like a war zone, crab grass weeds all around the edge, grass growing in the sand. Back 9 was barely playable and GN had no notice about 7 of the holes you have to play from temp tee areas!
I guess the fee of $25 was a fitting amount for more than just a 4pm ish tee time
