"Stunning natural beauty"

"Stunning natural beauty"
Reviewed on 04/08/2018
Little Bennett is a beautiful course because the difficulty of the course is based on the natural hilliness and woods. It doesn't rely on the use of bulldozers to shape elevated greens and sand traps. Most of the par 4s have blind tee shots and all of the par 5s have blind 2nd shots (for a 250 yard driver). There is lots of wildlife. I wish that the greens on 3,5,9 and 13 didn't have such radical slopes, or were not cut nearly so short. Also, golfers have a nasty habit of tossing their beer cans off of the carts while driving through here. And, for avid walkers, like me, it doesn't seem reasonable to have be forced to pay the $15 cart fee to walk. It is still a fun and beautiful course.

Played here as part of a golf group outing on Sunday- Shotgun start. Course was in EXCELLENT shape- Greens about 11 on the STIMP meter but rolled true, fairways well groomed, Tee boxes almost perfect. As a County Govt owned course, this blows away a lot of Private courses and Country Clubs I have played. Design and Layout are very imaginative- lots of blind shots. Play course management- a yardage book would have helped. Overall, an excellent course open to the public. Play it now!

Overall, a good course. Conditions were very well kept, and each shot posed a different level of challenge. Pace of play was a little iffy, it seemed like a lot of people were smashed in together. The group behind us (a threesome) kept playing into our group (a foursome) and complained to the ranger. They were also playing from the very forward tees, so they were constantly waiting to play from 100 yards closer than us. Otherwise, great round!

I haven't played golf in about a 2 months, but since is my home course and the weather was nice for November, I played around 11:00 and was glad I did. This course is always in great shape whether it's the beginning, middle or end of golf season. Really lucky to have this as my home course. Didn't play well, but didn't expect much considering the lapse of time since I've played.

After a few days of constant rain the course was in excellent shape. I played as a single then hooked up with another single in the back 9. They were cutting the grass around the greens; lost my ball just outside a green because of tall and moist grass.<br/> The leaves start to fall now and constant maintenace is required to blow away leaves off around the greens. I'll play this course again.

The fairways,greens and what i know from firsthand experience the rough are in excellent shape. Pro shop staff got us in and out. The snack bar person gave us after hours attention to refill our drinks when she could have easily said no. The sights of the mountains, the barns and the rolling fairways were really nice. One of our foursome tied his lowest score so Im sure we will be back!

I enjoy playing on this beautiful golf course. It was my first time and we didn't know how the course condition and layout but the score card is very helpful. I found some of the par threes are more challenging than par fours and fives. The driving range is one of the best in the area....it's real grass and well maintained.Overall we had a good round and can't wait to go back and get a better score.

This is a very challenging course that will test all aspects of your game. But, if you play well you will be rewarded. Conditions are superb. Greens are smooth and fast, but receptive. Bunker sand is good. The Par threes are all memorable and the holes that finish both sides...9 and 18...will have you talking to yourself on the ride home. A great experience all around.

The course was in excellent condition and there is only one hole where water comes into play. Almost all holes are either uphill or downhill and there are very few even lies. There are several holes on which you cannot see the hole from the tee box. Best to play the course with someone who knows it. Beautiful vistas.

This course is beautiful and challenging. Hills, water aand blind shots abound. The neophyte should bring extra balls and be prepared to lose some and not be upset. The beauty of this course and friendly staff offset the loss. A great place to learn what the golf ball does when played from all lies.<br/> I especially appreciate Patrick Heath's help and enthusiasm he exhibited in finding and returning my sunglasses case that had been left in a cart when I buddied up with another player. A wonderful course and always a memorable experience.
