Galloping Hill Golf Course
Played On 10/17/2017Nice, Well Maintained
Played the course yesterday, and was impressed with the conditions. There was a frost delay, which shows that management truly cares for the courses conditions. The frost delay was handled well by the staff and we ended up only waiting a half hour or so longer than our original tee time.
The driving range looked nice, but wasn’t open until 11am on Tuesday so we weren’t able to warm up before the round.
My only gripe with this course is there isn’t anywhere near enough signage. We ended up at the wrong tee on several occasions. But the worst one by far is the 18th. When you’re on the tee, if you’ve never played the course before, and aren’t regularly checking the score card, you will 100% hit your tee shot down the 9th fairway. Unless you’re hitting from the whites or yellows, you can’t see the 18th fairway at all and there’s no indication of where you should be aiming. The only reason we realized where the correct fairway was, was because the group on the 9th fairway was noticeably not the group we played behind all round. It also looked farmiliar, remembering our tee shots and approaches on the 9th. There needs to be some sort of direction given from the 18th tee.
Other than that, a few blind shots resulting in well struck balls taking a while to locate.
Overall a very nice course, kind of challenging for the high-handicap golfer, and a great challenge for better golfers from the tips. I’ll play it again.
