Opened in 1929, Old Orchard Country Club has a classic design with challenges that stand up to modern golf courses. Throughout the course, you'll see traces of the site's former use as a farm. Ancient apple trees from the original orchard frame many of the holes. The diverse layout will test you with a variety of different shots but the gently rolling terrain makes for an easy walk. Skill and strategy will be generously rewarded but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. Old Orchard's greens play true and fast and they are often flanked with strategically positioned bunkers. A stream wanders through the golf course, coming into play on several holes. Golfers will face a tricky island green on the par-5 seventh hole as well as an almost-island green on the par-4 13th.

Poor condition overall

Maybe it's because of the normal wear and tear but the fairways and greens are horrible. Worst course that I have played for awhile. Definitely need a complete overhaul. Staff members were great and very helpful.

No one cares who works here

The pro shop kid couldn’t care less about checking me in and was rude, offered no cart (there also were none available), and the course is not kept up with at all. There were four groups on one hole because there’s no starter or employees keeping things running. Do not come here.

Tragic

This used to be an excellent course. When I saw that there was a an 8am tee time available on a Sunday I should’ve known better. Tragic!

Only play here if its a great deal or you're desperate

Fairways cut the same length as the rough. Greens have giant bare spots. "sand" traps are 90% rocks and mud. I played because it was 20 minutes from home and it was a 30 dollar hot deal on a Sunday. But had I known it was this bad I would have much rather payed more for a better course.

Course is in terrible shape but still fun

Played from blue - course has good length/fun holes and layout, but is in terrible shape. Greens are worn down, fairways are all burnt, cart paths are dirt. Overall had fun - very laid back, pace was pretty good.
