Glad I had a "Hot Deal."

Some of the greens are in really, really bad shape! 'Was tolerable because I had a "Hot Deal," but if I had paid rack rate, I would have asked for a rain check/partial refund.

The greens are the WORST I’ve seen

So after reading the reviews on the greens I thought it was your normal August sunburned greens. Negative there are several greens where you can see the plastic underlayment! Putting was a joke, the ball just bounced all over the place. It’s a beautiful course every where else but the greens killed it for me. Oh and they are still charging full price to play these greens that look like the surface of the moon!

Greens are horrible

Played here a month ago and greens were in bad shape, now they are even worse. Won’t be back until I’m 100% sure greens have improved....which more than likely won’t be until next year. Embarrassing conditions for such a good course. Arnold Palmer would NOT be pleased!

Greens are horrible!!!!!!!

Played here many times over the years and always been satisfied. One of the best local courses......until now.

I don’t know what is going on here. About 6 weeks ago I noticed that the greens were in bad condition...lots of ball marks not being repaired, or not being repaired correctly. A few bare patches here and there, but nothing alarming. Disappointed, but I’ll let it slide.

Played today and it was outright embarrassing. I had no idea that the staff had aerated and top dressed 5 days earlier....a warning or maybe someone in the pro shop mentioning something would have been appropriate. The greens are in the worst condition I’ve ever seen, anywhere. Gonna be quite a while before I spend my $$ here again. Shoulda asked for a refund.

Course Great Greens Not So Great

Enjoyable round and after about a 30 minute wait for hard rain at the turn, great cool weather for late August. The tee boxes, fairways, and rough are all in amazing shape. Bunkers had lots of standing water, I guess from some severe storms earlier in the week and the previous day. Have to wonder about the drainage there.

The greens are in awful shape and I would be shocked if there wasn't a full green renovation on the horizon. There were a few hole locations on the back nine that you can tell it's the only spot they can have the hole, as the rest of the green looks like ground under repair.

If the greens get taken care of over the fall/winter, this course is definitely a great play in the Winston area.

Greens were in Bad Shape

The course is well laid out and is a challenging course. However, the greens were in pretty bad shape. Normal cost for this course is $48.00. Considering the condition of the greens, I wouldn't pay more than $20.00. I'll play it again, but only when the green s have recovered.

Great course; improve greens.

Overall I think is is a great course. Here are my points.

1. Tee boxes were what you expect them to be.
2. Fairways were in AMAZING shape, well maintained, perfectly cut, probably my favorite thing about the course.
3. The majority of the greens were not great. It looks almost as if a chemical was used and burned them a bit. They also looked recently punched, probably 3 weeks or so. The lawn crew was out watering them in between golfers, so we know they care and want this remedied.
4. Other than the greens, my only other complaint is regarding the layout; more parallel fairways than I personally care for.

Enjoyable Round of Golf

Teed off at noon on Monday and had the course "to ourselves." Overall course conditions were excellent, however, greens appeared to be suffering some summer heat and humidity. Fairways mostly open while interesting and enjoyable to play. We're are definitely coming back!

Hot and Humid

Hot ; dry weather is beginning to take a toll on greens. It also help if people would fix their ball marks. Course is a fun layout, and player friendly. With the hot weather, there were not many people on the course so we zipped around and just over three hours as a twosome.

Good experience at Salem Glen

Had a wonderful time at Salem Glen, the course conditions were very acceptable considering the weather conditions. Layout of the course was very satisfying for a decent challenge! Also, had a good meal with very friendly staff at the turn. I would recommend this course for anyone, enjoy!
