Fun course, pace of play has been rough all summer.

Stacking the tee times a little to close together given skill of average golfer visiting this course. Pace of play ok most of the time, but a few times I have played two holes on the front 9 only to end up behind 3 groups waiting to tee off on #3. Starter and Rangers need to better manage the tee times going off so it does not get all jammed up sometimes.

Great staff

Staff was great. Had a little over an hour rain and lightning delay. They kept us informed and offered rain checks to those who wanted them. Got us back out on the course in an organized fashion and the course held up well after the rain.
Would play again.

Salem Hills, front 9 then back 9

Excellent pace of play, our foursome kept up with the twosome in front of us, teed of at 1240p, finished by 420p.
Course had some dry parts where the ball rolled and rolled, but the greens were green, soft and true.

This is a very nice course.

Salem Hills is a nice layout with well maintained tee boxes, fairways and greens. There is some room for missing fairways on many holes, however, the trees will present a challenge for an easy recovery. The course is in a secluded location so it's quite peaceful. We played on a Sunday afternoon in exactly 4 hours. The staff was friendly and the pro shop is handling the pandemic with sufficient caution.

Great layout, with room for error off the tee, large, challenging greens that are in great shape and roll very well.

Needs maintenance!

Throughout the years I’ve played Salem Hills and it was for the most part maintained very well. Yesterday(6-11-2020) was by far the worst conditions ever. If you like playing in rough two feet tall with “hay” strewing mis-hits and losing balls that should be found, you’d love this course. Like a “major” rough wise. Hopefully, maintenance will improve this summer!

Challenging but rewarding golf course

Great day spent at Salem Hills! They really reward you for being accurate off the tee. They are starting to let some heather/tall grass grow past the rough so if you spray the ball, good luck finding it. Greens rolled very well and was well worth the $37. Looking forward to going back

Slow and Confusing

The payment process was a bit strange. Had to call my credit card in while at the course, no big deal. We were partnered with people not from out household. Why have staggered tee times and then put me in a group with strangers? Then, again, like the last few times we were there, the pace was terrible. 2.5 hrs on the front, had to bail after waiting 25 minutes on 12 for one group of four and one group of 8. Doesn’t seem to matter what is going on, pace is slow. Course was good, staff fine. As long as I am not expecting to be anywhere after my round, no big deal.
