Hit by a ball

We were a 2some playing between 2 3somes the 3some hit into us 3 times. The third time I was walking off the green and about to get in my cart when I was hit square in the back with a golf ball. There was no doubt where it came from. when we got to the next tee he tried to apologize. I won't go back to TOT Hill ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great time at Tot Hill Farm

The gentleman greeting us to place our bags on the cart was super polite. The check in was easy and the club house was clean and simple. It rained heavily the day before so we thought there may be some drainage issues or very wet spots on the course but there wasn’t. The course was immaculate and the greens were rolling very good. I always enjoy playing this course even though the score doesn’t always show it.

Nice to play once

I equate this course to the poor man's Tobacco Road. It's an interesting course with elevation changes, rock outcroppings, wild greens, and lots of blind shots. Course condition was average at best but I don't think you play this course for it's condition. It's nice to play once in a great while as to play a course unlike just about any other golf course around. Visually, it's a very attractive course. There are a wide variety of holes. Use a range finder for sight lines off the tee because the elevation changes will confuse depth perception. in another month I'm guessing the course will be more attractive and in better condition.

Diabolical!

Mike Strantz will live forever on this beautifully wicked course. No matter how many times I play I am awed by the views and the requirement of challenging shots. Amazing. Each time I approach the first tee with renewed confidence, yet meekly walk off the 18th green with a humble tip of the cap to Mike. Got me again. But what a pleasure. Thanks Mike. And thanks THFC!!!

04/03/21 Saturday Round

First and foremost, anybody with a bad thing to say about the staff at Tod Hill Farm can go pound sand. Nice people everywhere. Particularly the starter, who knew what he was doing by holding us off from teeing it up until the group ahead had walked off the first tee. It was cart path only so it was a 4+ hour round, but never because we were waiting on the group ahead of us. He also talked the two froggy twentysomethings in our bunch out of the green tees down to the whites. Good call.
I''ve played THF twice around this time of year both times. I'm committed to going back in the summer to see what it's like greened up. It was pretty shabby on the tees and fairways. Greens had been punched. It would be absolutley amazing if the investors put some money in this place. The layout is amazing. Have fun. It's a amazing gem.

Great layout

I have always played Tot Hill in the summer. I always had a great time and love the course. Unfortunately, there must have been a lot of rain as the course was very wet. It was really too wet to play so the conditions were poor.

Well, THAT was fun.

First time playing. First one out at 8:30 on a Wednesday morning, solo. Course is walkable, but only for a select few. Probably a good 6-7 miles long, with about 1000' of climb.

Lots of fun! Beautiful layout, scenic, interesting, and hard. Greens were lightning fast, took me 4 holes to get a grip on my putting. Grass is kinda deadish right now, but doesn't prevent a fun round.

Two holes, 14 & 18, had pin placements where the ball would not stop; just rolled back off the green until you holed it. I had to cheat on these holes & re-chip/putt until I was satisfied.

Bought the 5-round card & will for sure be back again! Probably with some friends, let them feel the pain.

Definitely a hard course, but if I wasn't playing badly, it's gettable. I'm gonna break 80 here.

Slow pace. Starter likes talking more than starting

Slow pace. The starter was too busy chatting and didn’t seem to care if people teed off in time. Caused major traffic jams

Never play when it's over 70 in February

Course was great, but pace of play, as expected, was SLOW.

Mike Strantz disrespected

I adore this track and am a huge Strantz fan...unfortunately the staff, maintenance and most importantly the management is so poor that I will not return. Booked on Golfnow with the range balls option so I could warm up...arrive early and the range is closed and no offer made for the additional charge. I played 9 holes and left because the condition of the greens and course were so far from what I imagine Stantz invisioned. Starter was down right rude. Here’s where it gets real bad. I left my brand new range finder(top of the line bushnel) attached via the magnetic side to the cart frame. I called back less than an hour after I left and spoke to Janna, who seems uninterested and unconcerned. I asked her if she could check my cart and or call down to the cart barn and check immediately because I was 100% certain of where I left it. She then hung up on me, I called back 5 times and she refused to answer the phone. I left a VM and was never called back. I have called back 2x now and spoke to Chip the manager...explained the situation and I owned the fact it was my fault for leaving it, yet there was zero apologies for any of the aforementioned. Unfortunately the amazing track will no longer be in my rotation or on my recommendation list. Sad, I truly love this course and Strantz designs, but a golf course is only as good as the team that cares for it and it’s patrons...this team in my opinion has an extremely dis functional approach to how they care for the course and their guests.

Mountain Golf :)

Lots of blind shots, very hilly. Cart path only made for a tough round. No ranger on course and 4-some in front of us were slow as molasses and never offered us to play thru (as a 2-some). We waited on literally every shot. It was clear those guys only cared about THEIR finishing before dark - didn’t matter they created a (no exaggeration) 5 hr 36 min round! I’ll probably go back, assuming it is not cart path only!
