Great November round

The Starter was very friendly and welcoming, he provided a few course tips since it had been a couple of years since we had last played the course. The course was in great condition and they also did a good job of blowing the leaves away from the area of play. The pace of play was a little slow, but nothing to really complain about. I really like the course layout, with drivable par 4’s and fun par 5’s.
My one gripe, any course charging $75-plus a round should include range balls. My complaint is that you have a great 19th hole, but the woman working there was so slow, we waited 10 minutes without her even acknowledging us, and there were maybe 10 people there. We did not stay and spent our food & drink money elsewhere.
I will be back to play, and hopefully enjoy the 19th hole when it’s better staffed.

Slow greens

Overall conditions is good, although they lost a lot of trees during the recent storm. The tee boxes are a bit chewed up and the greens are very slow, it’s tough to get into a good putting rhythm.

Conditions have been better

There was confusion with the Starter regarding our start time. The tee boxes were not mown and the greens were very slow. Pace of play was slow, we had a foursome walking, playing from the wrong tees IMHO with no player assistant to move things along.

Another great round

The greens were recently aerated but they still rolled well. We played under cart path only, due to recent rain, but still managed to finish in just over 4 hours. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to playing the course again.

GolfNow should notify when greens are aerated

Course had areas where they had just conducted a controlled burn on fescue and tall growth. The greens are still bumpy from being aerated. Got a good rate for twilight and completed our round in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Please add prisms to your flagsticks to help rangefinders lock onto the target.

GolfNow has to do a better job notifying its customers of course conditions that will affect their round.

Poor customer service

I’ve played Mercer Oaks courses several times, and have generally enjoyed playing there. The course conditions need improvement, there is grass growing in the bunkers and the tee boxes need a lot of attention. We started our round after 2 pm, so we knew it was going to be close getting all 18 holes in. When we checked in, and spoke with the Starter, no one said the carts had to be returned at a specific time. At the turn the starter pops up and says carts have to be in by 6:10 pm. The pace of play was okay on the front 9, but really slowed down on the back nine. While on the 17th tee, waiting again for the group in front of us, a staff member drove by to remind us about the carts. He specifically told us we’d be the last group allowed to finish. We got to the 18th tee, and had to wait again, we hit our drives when a different staff member said we had to take the carts in immediately. We tried to explain that we were told we could finish, but he didn’t want to hear anything. His tone was rude and condescending with zero hint of empathy or customer service. We picked up our tee shots and left, and I doubt we’ll be back.

Great round of golf

The course has recovered from the storms a few weeks back. Staff were extremely friendly and engaging. The greens we’re running fast & true. All holes played their normal par. I hope the mild weather continues so we can get a few more rounds in at White Clay Creek.

Very good condition

Course was in very good shape, the greens were fast & true. They’ve made some changes so that slightly stray shots don’t turn into lost balls. Please install prism reflectors on the flagsticks to help with rangefinders.

Pace of play was brutal. There was no ranger on the course monitoring pace. We waited on 17 tee boxes, and took 5 hours to finish our round.

Enjoyable round

The course is in great condition tee to green. All staff were very friendly and helpful. I teed off as a single at 4:00 pm and joined another single at the turn, we finished the round in 3 hours 20 minutes. There was an Ambassador and beverage cart that we saw several times. Golf the way it should be.

Pick up the pace

The course is in great condition. The greens were rolling nicely, and as usual the overall course conditions were exceptional. Normally pace of play is good, but not this round. We waited on every tee and almost every approach shot. There was no Player Assitant to keep groups moving which resulted in a five hour round.

Not what it used to be

I’ve had the pleasure of playing Bulle Rock several times over the years and have always enjoyed it. The last few times out I’ve noticed a decline in course conditions and service. The greens were slow and the course had a lot of areas in poor condition. The staff is not as attentive as in years past. Once you set the standard, that’s what customers expect. It’s a great course, I hope they get things figured out.

Enjoyable round

The staff were very friendly. We were greeted at the driving range and introduced to the Toptracer Practice app, which is a really nice amenity. The course was challenging but fair. The tee boxes & greens were in very good shape. We’ll run, and located, restaurant at the turn for a drink & snack. Looking forward to playing there again.

Please roll the greens

Overall the course was in good condition, though several of the tee boxes were beaten up. My biggest gripe was the speed speed of the greens, they were very slow, it seemed like you needed to “club up” on every putt. Please put drinking water back on the course, I believe that COVID-19 restriction was lifted last month.

Great late afternoon round

Teed off at 4:20 pm, front nine was slow but then opened up on the back. Course was in good condition considering all the rain we had. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Not in good shape and

I’ve played this course before and always enjoyed my round. Currently , the course is in very bad shape, in my opinion it’s unplayable. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are burnt out and most of the bunkers are unplayable. The starter said their sprinkler system was damaged by a storm, but based on the conditions I think there’s more going on. There should be a warning posted on the GolfNow site. Beware if you plan on playing here anytime soon.

A mixed bag

First off the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The layout is very nice and plays plays long from the gold tees. The course was cart path only which made the round longer. I would recommend putting yardages on the cart path so players at least have an idea of what clubs to bring to the fairway. The greens were slow because of the overseeding, so we never got a good feel for them. I would also suggest a nicer spot for non-resort guests to change, we had just gotten off an airplane and had to change in a bathroom off the pro shop.

Hi William,
We thank you for coming out to play at Talking Stick. Due to over seeding the course was cart path only, but we thank you for understanding. We hope to have you back at the course.

Very nice layout

The layout rewards you for hitting to the correct spots, if you're on the wrong part of the fairway you won't have a clean look at the greens. A few of the tee boxes were beat up. The greens are in good shape but were slow when we played.
