Brickshire Golf Club

This course will be very frustrating for beginners or amateurs, or even average golfers playing from the forward tees. Almost every green is all-over slanted, and every flag was placed on spots with significant inclines/declines. There is 1 Par 5 that is virtually impossible for your drive from the gold tees to not go into the woods on the right, even if you do a draw on the far left of the fairway. And there are several other holes that your drive must be exactly placed to avoid the severely slanted fairways taking a beautiful drive and rolling it into the woods. Beautiful course, but very frustrating for lower-level skilled golfers.

I hate to put this out there, but I’m not sure how Brickshire is able to keep their rates on the low end of the market, while maintaining the course conditions. Comparatively speaking, the tee boxes and fairways are in excellent shape. Having obviously been aerated in the last few weeks, the greens still had some sand, but they still rolled very true, and are shaping up nicely. My biggest criticism is of other golfers that don’t take the time to repair their ball marks. Very frustrating missing a putt due to a ball mark!

The only area of concern are the bunkers. Those that don’t have standing water are more hard-pan dirt and rocks than sand, with very few offering true sand trap shot opportunities.

The guy in the pro shop and the starter were great. They obviously enjoy their jobs, and are welcoming and efficient.

Even though I’m 45 minutes away, Brickshire is a course I’ll play when I can, and definitely recommend it, comparatively speaking, particularly given the value!

Course is a great layout, challenging, but fun. Greens recently aerated, which made putting difficult. Tough not yet grown in, so opportunity for forgiveness. Cart paths need repair in a number of areas. Have played before, later in season, and in better shape. Will play again in future, so not totally turned off.

Nice layout but not happy that greens were aerated and sanded very recently…no notice on booking website nor from pro shop staff…would have played elsewhere

I will first start by saying I own a home in Brickshire. The Marshall for the course is as horrible as his game. The way he treated my family members on the subject morning was very subpar and I can understand why our course hurts business wise. We need to fire the management company behind this course and hire a company that understands how important it is to hire good people.

Course was in great condition for this time of year but ran into a slow back 9. Will be back again as it’s always a fun challenge

I played with some members and they were great partners and course guides. Annual membership fees are very reasonable! Course has a natural layout and everything is reachable from the gold tees if not the whites. Lots of elevated greens and uphill as well as downhill and challenging lies..

The rough hasn’t grown out yet so no chance to hold the ball. Just made it more challenging. Liked the course layout, everyone super friendly. Coming from Canada where our season doesn’t open till mid may it was nice to get out and play. Would definitely play if back in the area.

Besides the challenges of the course. Their distance markers on the ground are almost nonexistent. Difficult to guess unless you have laser finder or electronic gps

This is a very good course, wide open and not much water so yes if you need a vicious challenge go elsewhere.....right, 0.1% of the golfers will find this easy!! The pace of play was not good, however, I think they got caught off guard with such beauty weather! Was fun though!~!

Great course fair. When starting check teeboxs for appropriate distance they are long

Moving to Richmond, surprisingly there are less golf courses to play publically compared to central New York. Most of the courses I played around here are fine but lack character. This course did not lack anything. I knew I was in for a good time as soon as I walked in; one of the staff members outlined what I should be hitting on each hole to get the best second shot. Also gave me a description of how the greens were and where not to put the ball. It was a windy day, so I was overshooting greens, but it still made for a great time. The complementary chipping green and putting green were in great shape. The course is just a fantastic time, with great views, unique designs, and good conditions. I cant wait for my next time out there.
