Great condition

Pike Run is in great shape. Challenging but fun to play. Fast carts that fit newer bags. Well worth the hour drive from Toledo. Ground crew should be commended for such great conditions in such a drought. Third time playing, we'll be back.

Gone to the Dogs

I have been playing Detwiler golf course since I was 19 yrs. old I'm now 65 and I have never seen a course go this far down hill. I have played this course in many different tournaments and it was almost pro quality, now you can't determined were the crab grass ends and the tee boxes and fairways start, every aspect of this course has been let go except for the greens that are at least playable, who ever is responsible for this should be fined the amount of money it would take to repair it and then never be allowed to touch a golf course again.

What Happened?

What happened to this golf course, I have played this course for 40 yrs. it was always in almost pristine condition.I played this about 5 yrs ago and it was the way I remember it. Not now it is trashed, can't tell were the fairways are or the rough course totally dried out, weeds everywhere,Tee boxes were weeds, but the greens were the only thing taken care of, please don't lose Toledo, Arthur Hills gem, save it and hurry or it may be over.

What a disappointment.

I have played this golf course sense I was 19 yrs. old I am now 65 yrs. old, I do not know what happened to this course but it has been destroyed, this was a professional golf coarse, perfect tees, beautiful fairways, awesome and fast greens, not any more. Toledo should be ashamed of what they let happened to this golf course. This was a gem, a Author Hills masterpiece gone to the dogs. Toledo does not have a problem giving money to Jeep fest but can't support a former wonderful golf course and it's park system, let jeep support jeep and lets get some support for the golf course systems in Toledo including Ottawa Park

The course

The greens were as good as it gets for public play. Rough was very long, the tee boxes were fair, the sand was like concrete, and the course did not have any restrooms or porta potties on the entire course, that is a tough hold, 9 hole with out using the toilet is very tough whether you are going 1 or 2!

Dried out

I know this area is going through some what of a drought but the course conditions where terrible. other courses in the area are going through the same thing and they are in a lot better shape. The one saving grace were the greens were nice. The tee boxes were burned out, the fairways were the same in spots. they had a outing just before we played and as soon as the outing was over they pulled the beverage cart and left the player with no ice or beverages.

Willow Metro Park

Very nice course to play. Excellent condition, I like the layout, there are some tough holes and some not so tough holes but the entire course requires you to concentrate on your golf swing and hit good shots or you will be in trouble, every hole. Great greens and fairways and tees, for the price this course is hard to beat.

This golf course is in fantastic condition, the greens were a little slow because late in the year they slow them down, but they also were perfect and rolled true.I recommend this course to all skill levels.

Great course, greens fairways and tees are in excellent condition. We booked the tee time and did not know there was an outing, the first 7 holes were played in record time then we caught up with the outing and we crawl the next 8 holes then it was over and we finished fast. Great course and worth whatever the price but it is very reasonable.

Long par5, the MONSTER

The MONSTER,13, of course, 666 yards and it is not just long but it's ugly and difficult. The golf course is in good condition and the greens are nice. Most holes are difficult, I like playing this course.

Tough track

This course can play tough, it has some very long holes and even some of the shorter hole are very difficult. The course was in good condition when we played it and the greens always seem to play fast, I'm not a great putter but these greens can humble the best putter quick.

Pace of play

We played the front nine in 1 hour 30 minutes, we played the back nine in 2 hours 45 minutes, why because the front was played with all twosomes in front of us, we were a twosome but when we made the turn another two some joined up with the group in front of us and that slowed the rest of the golf course down to a crawl. They jumped on the back because they let out a group of couples 4 guys playing and the women not, but that only lasted 1 hole and they started playing and 8some. Very disappointed.

Don't get fooled by the name.

Ahh Whispering Pines, sounds like a nice, rolling hills layout through woods and a fun day on the course, a stroll through the park, not! This is a very challenging course, the yardage doesn't seem like it's 6500 yards from the back but it is a long 6500 yards and the white tees are the same way. It is a great lay out and the greens and fairways were excellent, the tee boxes were raggedy in spots but most were nice. Just be prepared to play undulating fairways with tough lies and hitting up to landing areas. Side hill lies and tricky greens. Will play again and be better prepared. I recommend this course.

Nice enjoyable course

Had a great time playing this course. This is a country club without the country club attitude. The greens were magnificent fairways and tee boxes were great. Can't wait to play again.

great time on the links

This is a links style golf course. It may not play as fast as a traditional links course but it is close. Good fast greens and fairways. The course was in great shape when we played it.

Good Value

This course was fun to play, it was the first time we played it so we had a little trouble with getting to the first hole. The first few holes are not very scenic, grain elevators and a heavy traveled road and train noise. After turning away from that, about the 4th hole, then it wasn't too bad. It is a former Country Club, so the greens were top notch, the fairways were very good, Tee boxes were fair. It does need some sprucing up. There were weeds in the a flower areas around the course, the bunkers were in poor shape and did not have rakes.
