Holly Meadows Golf Course

Second time in a row we left after 9 holes and paid to 18. Today we (twosome) finished first 9 after almost exactly 3 hours. No exaggeration. There is a ranger but he doesn’t do anything to keep game going. He drives around and looks for balls and shares them with players taking their 2nd tee shot. Friendly guy but doesn’t do the job.

I could have written the previous review about pace and ranger although our 9 took 30 minutes longer.

We honestly do not like it o complain. Went into pro shop when we left after our first nine today to talk to someone., and opted not to say anything to that sole employee. He might have been in high school, didn’t have back up, and we didn’t want to put him on the spot.

This is twice now we left after 9 due to pace. In a row. 3 hours today was a record. Last time was complain worthy as well (2 hours 45 minutes) but we gave it he benefit of the doubt.

The course is nice. Paying for 18 holes and finishing 9 after 3 hours is not.

I went out yesterday, had a tee time at 12:56 and tees off early at 12:48p. I guess there was an “outing” maybe straight tee times. We followed a foursome of ladies entire time, I understand from running a golf course that pace of play is important if there’s an outing these ladies were at least 1 hole or hole and half behind pace of play, playing a four man scramble. This is terrible. We played with her 2:30hr for 9 holes and the back 9 wasn’t any better. I can’t believe you have rangers driving around the course and not doing anything about it. It was our first time there and I’m not sure if I want to come back. The rangers were friendly but obviously didn’t know how to drive a course as an ranger. You don’t drive with the golfers as they go hole to hole. You should drive against them to find the gaps on the course. We played well and over 5 hour round for a weekend. That course isn’t a 5 hour course for an outing or open play. On hole 15, we had 5 groups on that hole waiting for the ladies to get the green, a ranger went by and never said anything to the ladies. I’m sorry I’m a scramble it should be 15 mins or less on a hole. Not standing and waiting for 10 mins to tee off. I wanted to talk to someone about the pace after my round and you don’t even have anyone in the pro shop when I came in. I asked the cart kid and he didn’t know what was going on today.

It was a great course due how much rain we got in the last couple days. Greens were in great condition and rolling consistent but pace of play wasn’t good at all.

Been playing here for years. It’s cheap and well kept. Not overly difficult and it usually clips along pretty well.

I’m not even saying this to be funny, I wouldn’t play this course again for free. Where to start… the carts are probably 20 years old… the tee boxes are dead brown concrete. If you don’t hit your ball dead center fairway every time good luck finding it because the grass is so long it’s growing weeds. All the grass, tee box greens fairway are brown and dead, course layout is kinda crazy. Absolutely worst course I ever played.

Not many trees which means not many leaves, really open course where it’s easy to find your ball. Pretty hard to lose unless you hit in in the water. Fun and good pace!

Holly Meadows is a good mix of shot making and openness. Fair but challenging also. Definitely will be returning in the future.

The greens were a little “bumpy”. I love it here. Personally for myself it’s a 5 regardless of bumpy greens. I do also realize that people that rate a course a 5 want or expect perfection. It’s one of my favorite courses. Staff friendliness would be a 10 out of 5. Pace of play 5. Amenities 5. Fun great place to play 5. For me 10. I know others would not be happy with the bumpy greens. Most of which I will agree is lazy player’s fault for not fixing ball marks. Holly Meadows you are much appreciated. You’re the best.
