Golfing in Downtown Baghdad
This is literally the worse maintained golf course I have ever been on. It looks more like a bomb testing range instead of a course. The only grass they have looks like grass from a cow pasture. The carts are absolutely terrible. We had 6 carts pass us at the first tee box to go and tee off. Which made the pace of play terrible. You have a better chance of winning the power ball instead of landing on a playable lie. I have seen better grass growing during my deployment to Afghanistan than this course. If this was the only course available I would give up golf forever. I thought all the reviews were probably probably over exaggerated, but no the reviews didn't do it justice. Also the club house looks like a field office I worked in while working for the Department of Transportation. Save your 50 dollars and waste it on some scratch off tickets. The fairways look like they were cut with a murray mower from walmart. I am a budget golfer and play a lot of blue collar courses, but this place is terrible. The greens were pretty decent.
Challenging Layout
The course has many holes that are unique and well designed! The staff is very congenial and helpful.For what your inexpensive fees you pay, don't expect a well manicured golf course. Just have fun and enjoy your round of golf.
Love the course layout!!
The course has so much potential, the layout is fun and challenging. The course needs some real help condition wise.. Fred Smith Co. owns this course but doesn't seem to want to put money in it for some reason?...the course is in a good location, the course has steady customers...not entirely sure why they won't give the course some help..I would be a member at Olde Liberty Golf Course if it were in better playing condition.
Slow pace
Enjoyed the 9 holes of golf I played. Paired up with a nice person but pace of play was so slow, I could not complete 18 holes. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens could use some attention but it was good enough to play on.
Good layout but bad condition
I’ve played this course around 10 times now. This was by far the worst condition I’ve seen it. Tee boxes had no grass and the fairways weren’t too far behind. The layout is nice and forces you to think about shot placement but that only offsets so much.
My Review
As everyone else says, great layout, great holes, great views…unfortunately they just cannot grow/have grass (even if dormant) in fairways, and the bunkers don’t really have sand in them. miniVerde greens are the worst putting services and they require cup liners (illegal), but these were decent. I’d love to see the place be the course it has the potential to be!
Rough Condition
Been playing Olde Lib since it opened in 2009.
Same old same old and some. The greens which are usually very good were full of some kind of weedy sprig. Fairways were a muddy mess. Sand traps are unplayable. Owners need to drop some serious money into it...it's too bad because it's a great layout. Maybe, I'll try this course again late summer.
Better than expected
Long story short, better than expected. Bunkers were garbage but for the price the rest of the course was solid. A good place for new golfers, scrambles, and just having a good time. Not for someone looking for pristine conditions.
Going downhill
Bunkers are filled with rocks, fairways are dead and the green are unbelievably slow. In the summer/fall the course conditions are a bit better but right now it’s very bad.
Staff does not put water out on the course so make sure to bring your own drinks.
Get what you pay for
Countless dirt spots through the entire course. Most I have ever seen. Very frustrating and a total put off. Greens were in pretty decent shape and the course layout was good.
Counter guys should not be in a service position.
I have played here 1-2 times a week. Even though the course is a great layout and the greens can be good, the course is a good value for practice. Layout is challenging. Counter staff is a disaster with no personality. He should not be in a service position.
Dump / Garbage / Trash
Just like the title says. An absolute joke of a golf course. All bunkers were clay. Fairways looked like cow pastures (that’s a compliment). Range balls don’t even deserve to be played out here. I’m no sophisticated golfer but do enjoy a reasonable price to play at a decent course. Everything from the worn out carts, the club house, and the fairways was a joke. Have played at other Fred Smith courses and this one looks like the red headed step child. Save your $40 and play literally anywhere else.
