Orchards Golf Course
About
The Orchards Golf Club in Belleville offers an 18-hole championship course designed by Belleville native and former Masters winner Bob Goalby. With four sets of tees, the course appeals to a wide range of skill levels. The layout starts out with a gentler front nine where you won’t find any doglegs on the first six holes but as you move towards the back nine, the course gets more challenging. The golf course has an interesting and diverse mix of holes, with the seventh through the 14th being a particularly notable stretch. You’ll have to contend with abundant out-of-bounds and both water and sand come into play often. In addition to the golf course, the Orchards G.C. boasts a multi-level driving range as well as a large practice putting green with a sand bunker.

Course in Bad Shape
The grass was not cut and weeds were present throughout the course. The tee boxes were in horrible condition, all dirt with broken tees everywhere. The greens recently punched and sandy, which would have been nice to know before the round.
Great Course
Pace of play was a little slow, just due to a tournament going on that we weren't aware of. Course layout was amazing, course condition was great for April.
Great Greens
Overall the course was in great shape I got a little work out because they don't allow Carts off the cartpath until May. But the green best I've seen them in years!
Great Shape
Tee to green great shape! Greens the best shape they have ever been!
The Orchards is my Favorite Course need to lower the Hot Deals prices they should not be more than Stonewolf and Far Oaks
The Orchards is my Favorite Course... need to lower the Hot Deals prices they should not be more than Stonewolf and Far Oaks. Around 35.00 Sundays
Slow play on a sunny day!
Love the course just had to wait to play.
It was an 80o in November and it seemed no one was denied a tee time.
Improving every year!
Over the past five years I’ve seen great improvements on the fairways and greens.
Greens were great, fairways still need some work.
I do enjoy playing this course.
Disappointed
The course was in rather poor condition. The fairways were spotty with weeds. But the worst was that the head greenskeeper was top-dressing the greens in the middle of the day (we had a 12:00 tee time. On no less that 6 greens we were forced to wait while he ran his tractor over the greens and turned the sprinklers on, or we had to putt while he sat next to the green with his tractor running waiting for us to finish. When I brought this to the attention of the staff after our round, I was told that he does this all the time
Condition declined from 2022
I gave the course condition a 4 when I reviewed in 2022, only because the cart paths are so broken up - which others mentioned. However this time, the fairways had a lot of yellow grass, some dirt, some ruts from water issues, and were generally very thin, which wasn't great for striking. They also had been recently aerated and the dirt plugs were everywhere, stopping the ball, making your stance unsteady, etc. The greens were very slow - which is really the case everywhere right now due to weather issues, so probably not their fault. However, we didn't see a single grounds crew person working all day - and it seems like they are short staffed - which may explain but doesn't excuse the condition.
Also, dumb complaint, but the bratwurst was terrible. It seems like a pre-cooked smoked brat that was cooked again - well done, and had the consistency (dry, chewy, and greasy) and almost the thickness of a Slim-Jim. Either buy real brats, or don't cook the pre-cooked ones so much. Again, dumb complaint, but needs to be fixed.
Carts were great - cart paths still bad.
Very nice course
Very nice course the only problem for us was they just aerated the fairways so we had to stay on the cart path and walk to our ball.
Solid
Good layout, good condition, nice people and fair price. What more do you want?
No beverage card on a Monday holiday. Some fairways were rough and some spots greens were good.
Awesome greens
The greens were very nice the teaching area literally dirt and the fairways were skeptical some good some dirt. Awesome layout ranger and pro shop very courteous!
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again real soon.
