Good deal

Good course, new ownership making is making the course much nicer. The back 9 is easier than the front 9. Stay left and long on hole 5.

Very promising future!

Despite the new owner's commitment to completely renovate this older gem, the course still holds its own when it comes to playability. EVERYTHING is currently being renovated... and they're doing a bang-up job everywhere on the course. If you haven't been here in the last two years you'll be quite surprised. The new owner seems to be completely serious about bringing this old girl back to her former glory and then some!. Currently, the clubhouse is only open for green fees and a few accessory items. No food, no drink, pay fees and use bathroom... that's it. We played under windy, rainy conditions on the front, the back was only slightly more hospitable. The course held it's own and despite the weather played flawlessly... no problems with standing water. Greens were not slow but not fast either... considering all the rain we had they rolled very true! Had a great time, and, as usual, the staff was great and cheerful (even on a gloomy day!). We'll be going back soon and can't wait to see the finished product! Very promising, indeed!! A salute to the new owner for not cutting corners and taking this course to a new level...! Thanks1

Olde Mill was a nice course.

Grounds had taken a beating from the extra long winter, but conditions were better than expected. Nice greens. I got a deal on Golf Now.com so my price was very inexpensive. Regular rate not bad though. Clubhouse under construction when I went on 05-07-2014, so no beer available. Call ahead to see if you should bring your own. No food or beverage available so couldn't give a rating for that.

Pleasantly surprised!

Have lived within 20 miles of this course and had never played it until now. Had heard new owners had made some changes and after playing there, was disappointed that I had waited this long. Not a long course, but has lots of dog-legs, tree lined fairways and nicely mowed greens. The whole course was well maintained and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely put this course on my agenda again!

Nice place for a novice golfer

Nice course to take a beginning golfer while still providing some challenges to the average golfer. Thought the greens were in nice shape and the fairways are better than an average course for the price.

The course has dog leg lefts and rights, overall great challenges.

Very good golf course especially for the price! The par three's are tough. The greens are challenging, so make sure your putting is on. Descent par five's and challenging water shots!

Good course for beginners to moderate skill. Not too much character but well kept. Bunkers are gravel pits.

Lost in the woods

good course overall. A few of the greens were needing some major attention however. Virtually every hole had some challenging element, whether it be water, trees or unfavorable pin position. Hard course to score on, but it can be done.

stay in the fairway

the trap rakes have broken handles watch out for wood and fiberglass splinters, no one told the cart girl how to run the course , people on the 1 st hole probably dont need anything, so the beverage cart goes backward on the course and you approach golfers leaving the green or coming to the next hole not in the middle of the 1 st hole during play, i hope the director corrects this, on weekends a ranger would be nice, was held up by a slow group for 5 holes with 2 holes open in front of them, the greens are rough in spots in time they will grow in, all in all it was a fun day and our group enjoyed themselves

Needs work....Has potential

Four of the greens were pretty ragged in spots....looks like the remnants of Pythium.
In all fairness, the course was just purchased by a new owner so I need to give them a chance to institute the changes needed. As time goes by we'll see if the work starts and continues. On a grand overview I was not dissapointed.
Play was slow but we were escorted to a hole forward of the problem and allowed to come back and play those holes we missed.....fair solution I would say.

I purchased the course in 1971. It was only nine holes. It was closed for number of years. Gil Stiver designed nine holes prior to my buying it. I re-designed the course adding an additional nine holes. What is now the back nine did not have any trees. I planted every tree. I contoured all (18) greens. Now at the age of (84) I want to set the record straight about who designed the course. I hope my grand-children enjoy the course. It really only need TLC

Greens need work

The course itself was in good condition, however the greens need work. Many had large (>3') areas of dead, patchy or no grass. Sprinkler heads have been place in several of the putting surfaces effectively ruining any chance of putting in that area.
