Going downhill

Played this course a few years ago and then again this week. Course has gotten in much worse shape. They aren’t taking care of it. The price is mighty high for the value. If it were half the price I would recommend it to beginners

In good shape

Good shape but I wish the rangers would have sped people up. 90 min first 9 turned into a 5 hour round but other than that it was a fantastic day. Good price as well.

Fun course but pace of play was terrible

We had a foursome ahead of us who would tee off at least 3 times each, all shots would go a few feet. They would then walk to their 3 shots and hit them a few more feet. There was no ranger to speed them up so we ended up having 6 or 7 groups backed up behind us for the whole round.

Spring Golf

Played Fern hill last weekend and the course was really not in that bad of shape.
Tee boxes need work but greens were okay and the fairways were clean not really chewed up

Poor

This golf course has no class and no proper business model, examples of this listed below:

1) third time I’ve booked a hot deal, only to go to the golf course and they are closed
2) the course was completely playable, yet with a spritz of rain last night they closed
3) the course holds no water, their inability to employ a drainage system costs them many thousands of $ per year being on the clinton River
4) when it rains, golf course looks like like Michigan for 4-7 days
5) I called the golf course today, an employee told me they were open, I said I’ll be there for my 1:20 tee time, only to arrive and their is a sign on the pro shop door saying golf course is closed
6) they do not employee a ranger monitoring for slow play
7) I live closest to this golf course and am an avid golfer, they lose hundreds of $ from me per year by me not playing, thousands on possible referrals to friends
8) because of their lack of a drainage system/watering system, the course is in horrendous condition

Great course for the price!

I have played this course many many times. Always a great time with great staff. If you haven’t, try out the bar/restaurant inside. Club sandwich is fantastic!

Nice city course!

Overall a nice course, you can tell the staff care about this place. It's a bit narrow, but if you hit em straight you will be rewarded. Back 9 was a bit slower. Seems a group of 3 jumped ahead of us somehow. Overall a great experience. Thank you!
