Great course to get a quick practice round in and work out kinks in your game. Sometimes it is a little slow, but meets requirements in every other way.
The staff of the course & restaurant are all very pleasant and helpful!!!!

Over booked

I understand places needing to make money but having to wait 15 minutes plus per hole just to tee off is just not acceptable. Played the first 9 holes in 2hrs reasonable. The last 9 holes which I only played 7 due to the wait times and that it took over 3 hours to 7 holes. Was waiting to tee off hole 10 for 15 mins and it stayed that way till hole 17 where I threw in the towel. The course was also hard as cement basically was hitting off dirt. Better off playing at maple lanes... yes.. Maple lanes is better then here will not be returning.

Run Down Fern Hill Golf Course

There is no organization to this golf course. Cart paths in bad shape. Looks like golf course being let go. Golfers uncertain on what direction to hit their golf ball causing me to end up with a left arm injury. The Bar was a nice place to have lunch ( good food) and a couple of beers.

Pace of play and bring your helmet

Found a deal on-line. It's an extreme to the public course. Several twosome groups of what appeared to be first timers. Quit after a 3hr 9 holes. Was too frustrated after 9 to continue. The 19th hole was very nice and the staff was very friendly. You should wear a hard hat as I've never heard FOUR so many times in a round. Pay more to play a course with more seasoned golfers. My fault not theirs

Enjoy but slow

Pretty hit or miss here with pace of play. I’d really like this course if it wasn’t so slow sometimes. Not really their fault I just think a lot of bad golfers come play here. Overall nice course and the 19th hole is great. Course is in good shape for what you pay.

Pace of play

Ranger did little to control paste of play. Multiple twosomes not paired up. Party golfers not pushed. 6 hours even on a Saturday is pathetic.

Nice course

We had a great time on a spectacular day. The course has some maintenance issues with sprinkler systems but did not affect our play. The course is getting overgrown with trees jutting out on some tee boxes which creates some narrow openings to the fairways. Overall a fun and well priced course.

Watch out after the rain

You can't beat the price but watch out after a good rain. The course often floods so it becomes difficult to play on afterwards. For the price there are many less experienced players out there, so the pace of play many times is painful.

Fern Hill

If there is one thing I have to say, I really don’t like making online teetimes and having to pay a fee for that. I’d rather call in and if necessary put it on my CC, avoid the fee. Other than that the course was in fine shape, Speed of play was good, my group had a very good time.
