ARV is mostly in excellent shape! However, the greens were deceptively slow. They look great and pure but roll slow. This takes some getting used to, as we had several downhill putts just put the brakes on! Overall pace was good for a Sunday afternoon and we got home in plenty of time to see the Pats get crushed by the Lions.

Great deal at $47 w/cart on a Sunday!

First the positives:

Staff could not be nicer and they have a bangin' Tiki Bar off the 18th green.

Layout is very good. Greens are slow but roll true.

Now the not so positives:

Tee boxes are beat up. They need to close them for the year and reseed them all.

Hole #3 is a par 5 with about a 20 foot landing area. Really not a well designed hole. I hit a solid drive from the back tees down the right side of the fairway and lost the ball.
All in all a good 9-holer that could use a little TLC.

On vacation, booked on Golf Now as a single while the family was at the pool for the day. Ended up playing with the owners of the course, who couldn't have been nicer. That being said the track is a little short on some holes, but overall a fun play. There are 2 par threes on the back that are challenging, one uphill one down. Great tucked away gem even if the greens are slow. Got a great deal, met the owners (who invited me back!) and played 18 in 3 hours. Excellent!

great little executive layout in very good shape. If you need short game help, this is a very nice place to do it. Played 18 in 2 hours riding.

I had not been to Maplegate in several years. This golf course looks like they stopped caring or more likely are on a shoestring budget. The tee boxes if not just dirt, were weedy and beat up. The fairways were half burnt and hard as a rock, despite a wet summer. Greens were OK, almost like they picked one thing to take care of. Overall, the place is badly in need of an overhaul. I know they have had a checkered past financially, and it looks like it.

Staff was very nice however .
