Excellent value, great for an average golfer; front 9 needs a little attention though from a maintenance standpoint
Two of my friends and I played Cattails on a Saturday afternoon. We booked the tee time through Golf Now on Thursday for $10 each, 18 holes including cart! One of the best deals I have ever seen! The man working at the pro shop was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He was personable, he gave us free bags of tees, and he added water to the unique golf ball/golf club cleaners mounted on the gas golf carts. The feel of the course when you first get there is very casual considering the old clubhouse, dress code, and the practice range. The "range" is simply 5 or 6 slots in between 2 fairways; there are no pins or target areas. The front nine is a links style course from the 20's with one water hazard, a limited number of sand traps, some trees lining the fairway but no heavy woods. The fairways on the front 9 are pretty forgiving, but the grass was high. Some of the greens and tee off boxes on the front nine need more attention. We stopped in the pro shop for snacks after the front nine. The selection is very limited. The back nine is the hiddem gem of this course and is what makes the value so great. The back nine, which is a much more modern, broader layout is worlds apart from the front nine. The fairways and greens were in great shape and the tee boxes were not as chewed up as the front nine. Cornfields and heavy woods line some of the fairways, and there are also much more sandtraps, but there are few hazards otherwise. Overall, the course (particularly the back nine) is a great value. There are nicer courses in the area, but Cattails is a perfect course for an average golfer trying to build their game.
Great value
Staff is great! 25 bucks for 18 and wheels is tough to beat. Passing thru on the way back to Michigan and played this track. Front 9 is pretty wide open. Fairways are hard pan, but the greens are in great shape! Back 9 is in pretty darn good shape. Very fun and interesting layout. Totally recommend!!!
Had a great time!
The front 9 was a little tightly packed but the back 9 is what makes this course special.
Great course
Pahpah was friendly and welcoming. The course was great. Very clean inside and out. We love to play here. Bang for the buck.
Budget Gem
Great job getting this golf course back open and really nice, back nine layout. One of the best in the area, especially for the price. Can’t wait for the back to mature.
Basically 2 different 9 hole courses
Play this course most Sundays June through September with a friend Course is usually in good to great condition
A tale of two 9's
The extremely nice guy in the office was right: its a tale of two 9's. The front 9 was a very unimaginative, old-school meadow course which was generally in good shape and had decent greens & traps...I shot well. I then asked the guy in front of me at the 10th tee box, 'where are the hills?' Well, he retorts, the back 9 has a bunch, and he was right. Wow, was it challenging, especially the 12th hole. Again, the course was generally in good shape, although a few greens were a little iffy. The back 9 kicked my a--, but a good kicking. Oh yeah, the staff could not have been nicer and the beer was only $3.00. Party!
