Y’all need to do better

The course was closed and I did not get to play. They closed at 5 and y’all had tee times all the way until 6. I chose 5:30 and basically lost 134 dollars. So if I could get a refund that would be cool

Course was in good condition for early spring. Traps were well raked. Pace of play was good. Front desk had told us the Black Heath course was cart path only but on the back nine we discovered from on site staff that we could be playing 90 degree play. We did not mind the extra exercise.

Great golf course

Played the Hawk Marsh on March 20
Course condition was fair given the time of the year but the course provided a good challenge for a 14 handicap golfer with large undulated greens
Staff provided excellent service and the course was well marshalled

Would highly recommend the course Which provided good value

Never Disappointed at Fords Colony

Fords Colony is a great deal on Military Tee Times & this veteran appreciates their participation. Bag drop was super friendly & helpful. Front desk was helpful but unaware of the fact that it said range balls were included in price & made no attempt to rectify the difference. Starter, Jim, was a great ambassador for Fords Colony. The course was in good condition but a lot of ground under repair on every green. Great pace of play. Overall, a great day. Will certainly return.

Blue Herron - Ford's Colony

Very nice course - very scenic. The course is moderately challenging. The fairways and greens were in great shape except it did rain heavily the day before and the fairways in parts were somewhat swampy, but that couldn't be helped. I totally enjoyed my round.
