Great Golf Course

Great course that I would love to join if it weren't semiprivate. No benefits to joining since tee times are on golf now. The course itself is a great layout and great condition. Love it!

Great Course. Worth the Drive.

Such a great course. Greens were perfect. Tee boxes needed a little more attention to get them in equal shape, but everything else was amazing. We'll be back for sure.

Great course

Really high quality, all-around experience. Driving range was awesome. Grass range, putting and chipping area.

Fairways were in great shape. Greens we're in great shape, but a lot slower than I expected. Maybe they didn't cut that day.

Tee boxes weren't great... But mostly on driver holes, so didn't matter overall. Tee boxes for the par 3s we're all solid from what I can remember.

Tough course if you're off the fairway. Loss quite a few balls.

Will be back!

Solid course

This was my first time playing Governors, overall I was pleased with the experience. They offered "member for a day" play following their member guest tournament, so the rate was pretty steep but not astronomical for a private club. The course was in fairly average shape, although the greens were very good in my opinion. A lot of the tee boxes need some attention, several of them have more dirt than grass. Fairways were fine, just a lot of divots everywhere. Bunkers need some sand in a lot of areas. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the layout of the course. It's a great balance of some challenging holes with a good number of birdie holes on it as well. Would play here again in the future.

Under maintenance

The day we played it had been raining the day before, and all night and up until we started and held out for 2/3 of the round and started raining on the last four holes again. Because of the rain there was only one other golfer, so pace of play was up to us.
Many tee boxes grass was tore up and not grown.
The greens had just been aerated and sanded.
The 12th hole was closed.
I wish they would give a discounted price during this time when the course is under such maintenance.

Save your money.

Pretty embarrassing considering the home values and what the course used to be. Bunkers with no sand , weeds growing. Tee boxes without grass. 17 holes but full price. Not what it used to be.

Slow Pace of Play

Took over 5 hours to play 18 on a Saturday afternoon. No rangers on the course to push the slow pace of play. Also, a lot of crabgrass in the fairways which was kind of disappointing with paying $100z Greens were in solid shape.
