A Favorite Every Year

Had a serious traffic tie-up making me late for prepaid tee time, playing as a single. Dana in the Pro Shop and the Starter, Bruce demonstrated outstanding customer service in weaving me in with no inconvenience to any golfers. Beyond that, fun to play in the shadow of Titleist's home. Great layout - go there!

Working too hard...and

Considering this is a town run course, it was in good shape for this time of year as the groundscrew and Mother Nature are working to see if some grass can grow...

Greens were quick, the traps fluffy, and the staff worked very hard...coming off a 100+ golfer week end)per the pro shop)...and that says it all...

A good course to play and worth the drive...

To the starter, dont work so hard(he will understand)...LOL

Oh, most important...tossed up my first hole in one on 17th...saved the ball, and had the scorecard signed...

Play this course!

Not a bad start to the season

I made a tee time as a single late in the week as the forecast improved. I've played here before, but usually only once or twice a year. The layout is fine, if a little short, so driver isn't really needed. Unfortunately, I prefer hitting driver so I took it out every time. The course was in decent shape, especially for my first round of the year and the first weekend they were open. Greens were fine, but the back nine seemed a lot slower than the front. Overall, a decent start to the year at a decent course for a decent price through Golfnow.

Almost perfect day

Had a great time as usual. Only thing I wish something was said prior about a few of the holes having temporary off green pin location. Other than that it was a great time as always.

Good Golf Course

I thought course was fair. Early holes are easier and reachable (GIR). Variability in course design with Front 11 in the woods, while back 7 wide open.

tucked pins

This course is in excellent "shape", meaning fairways, greens and bunkers are well maintained.

that said, the setup was "score repellent". Every single pin was inside 2 yards of the edge and the greens are tiny. further, many holes are right on the edge if "treelines" where a shot a yard over the green is a lost ball. Last, and most problematic is hole 16, which plays into the tee box of 12. its dangerous. the best driving line is right at the middle teebox of 12. you can't see people tee off as the teeing area for 16 is behind a hill.

lots of "driveable" par 4s (3 holes inside 300 yards from the teebox) are why the course is so short, but zero run makes it play long. they aren't drivable at all.

WHERE'S THE RANGER?

THEY USED TO HAVE A RANGER BY THE NAME OF GARY. SINCE RETIREMENT, THERE IS NO PRESENCE OF A RANGER ANYWHERE ON THE COURSE. YOU CAN'T CONSISTENTLY ASK PATRONS TO ALLOCATE 5-6 HOURS, FOR A ROUND THAT SHOULD ONLY TAKE 4.5.

six hour round

it’s a nice course with many good holes but the pace of play was absurd. Many groups ahead playing their own best ball tourney. ranger who did nothing. Brutal.

We apologize for the negative experience you had with the pace of play during your round at our course. We appreciate your feedback and will work on addressing the issue with groups ahead organizing their own tournaments and the ranger's lack of intervention. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Very nice course

Course has more pine trees vs other types, so alit fewer leaves. Staff very friendly and if possible key you out early. A hidden gem.

Chas'

Day before Thanksgiving, beautiful weather, no wind. Fairways clean of leaves and greens gorgeous. We play here often and love it. Took a Golfnow package 40.00 with cart...we normally walk. Expected a crowd because of holiday, wasn't bad. Called ranger though had a fivesome in front of us. Pace of play almost always slow here. Ready golf guys and gals! 5 stars year round.
