You get what you pay for

It’s a cheap price, but there’s a reason for that. The course layout is actually nice and pretty challenging at times. The issue is the course is not well taken care of. The greens are horrible, the fairway and tough are full of weeds so you can’t ever find your ball and it’s just dry everywhere. It’s not a bad course for $13 but don’t go in with high expectations.

Course is getting there

First, the staff is very friendly. This didn't used to matter much to me but when you get a round for a hot deal price, too often the staff treats you like a stranger. Not the case here. Greens are definitely in need of work and the tee boxes are in need of a little attention as well but I will definitely come back. I've played courses that charged 3x as much and I didn't enjoy as much as this course.

They are working on getting the course back in the shape most are used to. Nice course.

Excellent Course

I went to play Vassar on a spur of the moment decision because I couldn’t find a course suitable for my brother-in-law who is a brand new golfer. This course does not take tee times so it worked perfectly for walk-ons. The pace was legitimately 2hrs or less, as advertised, and was a very enjoyable experience. The staff was excellent and the fees ($21 with cart for 9 holes) was totally worth it.

The fairways were ok, lots of dirt and less grass, but the greens were excellent and the course played well. It’s a beginner/intermediate course and well worth the drive.

An excellent course for a golf outing. Great experience.

Decent course

Good course to get in some swings while vacationing.Fairways ok. Roughs run high lots of dandelions. Tough to find your ball. Greens were very nice and fast. Lots of trees plan to lose some balls if your a beginner.

"Rough" Day

Course in decent shape for the weather we've had last few days. Not sure about the fairways, I only found 2 of them today. Rough day day for me, but overall course in pretty good shape. One to a cart, but to be expected.

Amazing course.

I play this course every time I am out in the vassar area and it’s one of my top three courses that I love to play. Course is good for beginners or people who have been playing for years. Few tough holes but easy to make up a bad shot due to the amazing conditions and open space so it’s hard to lose a ball. Will recommend this course to any and everyone
