Nice place to play

The coarse is a little tight and golf balls do tend to fly a bit all over. But it’s really the golfers who don’t say anything not really the coarse. Was my first time here but I enjoyed it and will be back

Very poor attitude at the desk!

Golf was fine. Pace of play slowed to a crawl on the back nine. The older gentleman running the desk was miserable. Didn’t want to answer questions. I brought back a sand wedge that someone left on a hole, and he didn’t even care. Barely looked up at me.

Amazing Value and challenge for the money

Course was in great condition especially for early in the year.
The short par fours leave a lot of scores open - I made 3 and 7 on two or the shorter holes.

The greens are true and I can see they will speed up as the weather heats up.

The only thing better than the course are the people who work there.

Waste of time

This is both on golf now and fern hill I paid to have a tee time yesterday august 13th and then had to wait at fern hill for 20-30 min due to 2 employees just walking by me sitting in the pro show just for them to tell me that I couldn't golf there today and it's golf nows fault. Complete waste of time and very unprofessional

Horrible

No back 9 (management said nothing still charged me for 18)
Front 9 was in terrible shape, can’t tell the difference between the fairways and rough, looks like they haven’t done maintenance on this course this year. Will not be coming back.
