great teack, but very penal

Great layout, but keep it on the course or thestrokes will add up and you will lose plenty of golf balls. I love the variety of holes. Condims are usually very good.

Great Course But...

Moose Ridge is a great course with some terrific holes. It is usually in great shape. The greens are fun to putt. So why the but in my title? Moose Ridge is a frustrating course because more than half the golf course is cart path only every day. You expect the par 3s to be cart path only but several other holes are cart path only as well. Some holes have cart restrictions in certain areas and others seem to keep you far away from greens. GPS on the carts is helpful but for short hitters and women this course can be frustrating. They have to take several clubs with them because they cannot be sure how far they will have to the green after the initial shot. You will enjoy the course but be prepared to walk more than normal.

Not an easy course!

There are no easy holes at Moose Ridge, but all are fun to take on. I did lose 2 balls per side :-D

The carts feature GPS, which is extremely helpful as there are many blind and semi-blind shots, depending on where you are positioned for second and third shots.

The greens were in great shape, after accounting for unrepaired ball marks created by golfers lacking basic courtesy. This is a common problem across publicly accessible course and is no worse at Moose Ridge. The speed of the greens and their undulations made proximity to the hole paramount.

Moose Ridge features impressive elevation changes that challenge your club selection. The scorecard provides playing tips for each hole, which does help.

All in all, a great day of golf!

Overbooked

This course has always been a local favorite. Lots of beautiful different type of challenges await your golf swing here folks. A few short par 4s and some extra long par 5s makes for just about every club to come out of the bag. Biggest issue is the carts path only slows ever thing down. If their busy plan on a 5 to 5 and half hour round.

Got behind a very slow group

Carts shut down easily when you go off the path or too close to the greens. Got put behind an extremely slow group. Many holes are cart path only.

Very Nice course

the layout was good and challenging. The no cart rule on many holes make the pace of play slow and a little exhausting for older players. The greens were soft and a little slow. Stray balls from unknown players was an issues too many times.

Return to Moose Ridge

It has been about ten years since playing this course. Everything was perfect, weather, fairways, greens, bunkers, etc. Really enjoyed playing this course. GPS on the carts were a bonus, however, cart did keep you quite a ways from greens, tee boxes which often delayed quick get away from hole.

Fantastic Course

By far my favorite course in the area. Always a great value for the money and the staff was fantastic. Course is very challenging so I definitely recommend playing from the appropriate tees for your handicap. Can't wait to play there again soon.

Beautiful property but no so much

Course property is very nice but course is extremely short. Also hadn't rained in weeks and it was 90 degree or cart path only and carts shut off if you deviate. If you want to at the view it is very nice but price for course don't overspend with so many other courses in the area. To top it off the course posts their regular walk up rates on GolfNow. With fees you pay more than at the course itself.

Moose Ridge

Very nice course in great condition. Challenging layout that requires accuracy and the ability to bring the ball in high to greens. Forced carries will penalize the short hitter or low ball hitter. Greens were fast and undulating. My only issue is the bugs where fierce, they made about 3 holes almost unplayable. Staff was friendly and helpful, would go back - definitely.

Great Conditions but Layout simply Awkward

Curse is in great shape and the greens roll smooth and fast. Too many holes are simply awkward at best. No landing areas for basic 220-250 yard drives and bunkers and woods in places that simply are not "normal" Love the clubhouse. I may go back but not one of my go to places

Pace of play

I booked this round after hearing/reading great reviews about the up north feel and the good course conditions and they were true, but the fun stops there. A friend and I waited until the night before to book a twosome because we don't enjoy playing with people we don't know. We are not antisocial, quite the contrary, but golf is about rhythm and introducing a new golfer to the mix messes with that. Our playing partner was quite nice but he really played slow and affected our pace. It would have been nice to have the option to decline. When we got there they touted their gps on the carts, but it didn't really come into play since 10 out of 18 holes were cart path only. How a course with minimal rain in weeks in mid June could be cart path only on 10 of 18 holes is beyond me. None of the holes in question were wet at all. Playing late Friday afternoon I was hoping to get something to eat at the turn but there was no option to order something hot at the number 9 tee box. The restaurant looked a little busy too I figured I could get something good at the end of 9, but I was wrong. Only hot dogs, and pre made turkey and ham sandwiches with no condiments available. Waste of $7. Throughout the round was unable to get any Rythym due to some holes being able to drive to my ball, other holes trying to guess my yardage from 75 yards away and a slow playing partner we didn't book with. It really put a damper on a round I was looking forward to playing all week.

We're sorry to hear that the rhythm of your round was dampened by the new golfer with your group. We understand that can be a frustrating experience if you are trying to get through a round and you're accustomed to a certain pace of play. We do hope that doesn't deter you from coming back and having another round with us. We do look forward to seeing you back again!
