Brentwood GC on Track

BGC is on track to being an excellent GC. Tee boxes need to be leveled more, grass needs to recover more. Fairways in excellent condition for the most part. Bunkers need sand. Greens were aerated and need a bit more time to recover. Happy to play the course!

Brentwood GC -great to be back!

Course is continuing to get back into excellent condition. Tee boxes getting better, fairways in excellent shape. Bunkers in good condition (at least the couple I landed in). Greens were sanded, but I can tell they’ll be back to good playing conditions. Happy to regularly play the course again!

Brentwood GC Is Back!

Much improved from about a month ago. Tee boxes need improvement, needs to be leveled and grass needs to recover some mire. Fairways are in good playing condition. Greens also have recovered nicely. Old holes 8 & 9 replaced with short par 3. And old hole par 5 hole 15 turned into holes 14 same as old hole & new 15 is a short par 3 playing the same green as new hole 14 (this green will be a bottleneck!). Overall, I think this GC is again a fun course to play.

First Time Playing

Shadow Lakes Full 18 Holes

Played for the first time since 9 holes were reopened to make a full 18 holes. Overall, it was an enjoyable round. The new holes’ fairways were cut really short which made it a bit more difficult hitting off the fairways. Greens were really fast, made faster by difficult hole positions…great for tournaments, but not for daily play. Been a long time since I played the course, so it was great to see them bring back this course to its previous, fun n challenging 18-hole gc!

Brentwood GC was a good course

Some tee boxes bumpy, temporary. Lots of fairway areas very wet, GIR, bare. Most greens bumpy, soft, and or grass dead. It wasn’t a long time ago that I played this course, and it was in good/excellent condition.Though I purchased golf deal, I didn’t get my money’s worth. Maintenance staff need to do a better job; can’t blame the drought anymore!

Swenson Park GC

Had 10:30am tee time. From the start, slow play; 5 hour round. No marshals to encourage faster play. Played men’s tees. Tee boxes, fairways in playable condition. Greens slow, but in good shape. Golf cart battery dead by 18th hole; saw two others. Great golf weather, but slow play ruined the day.

Bridges GC, Excellent, Difficult

Played white tees. Tee boxes in good shape; one under repair. Fairways a bit wet from the rains; need a few more days of sunshine. Bunkers wet;, unusable..greens in good shape.
Course requires accuracy off the tee and some local knowledge for target distances depending on one’s own game. Rough off the fairway eats the ball!. Putting ball on proper level of the green is a must, and will test your green reading ability.
Course is enjoyable, but very difficult; not for a beginner!

Short, but not easycourse

Course in good shape. Tee boxes were punched recently, fairways and greens in very good condition. Course knowledge a must as distance become less important than pinpoint accuracy. Most fairways are tight, so accuracy is a must; got to hit your intended ball flight and target distance. Greens are not very fast, though placing your ball on the correct level and side of the hole is important. Only other negative is the speed of play which was a bit slow. Would definitely recommend playing this. Ourse.

Good course needs some TLC

Played midday from the red tees. Fairways punched about 3 weeks ago; needs time to recover. Some tee boxes uneven, or need grass, or maintained. Several fairway areas thinning or bare. Most greens are in decent shape. If well maintained or in condition, course can be a pleasure and a challenge to play with some holes requiring a fade and some a draw. Windy day added to the challenge. Nevertheless, the great deal from Teeoff.com made playing the course well worth the money.

Blue Rock Spring-West Course

Received a great deal from Golfnow. Played white tee boxes which are in good condition. Fairways were average to good with some areas muddy or grass cut too short. Greens were good and played deceptively fast. Overall happy playing this short course with challenging greens.

Brentwood GC

Played on a day with special discounted fee. No driving range and no putting greens. Played behind senior men’s club. Course condition was better than expected. Played from the whites. Tee boxes were ok; can use some maintenance. Fairways have a few soft areas and bare areas, but overall in decent shape. Greens were in good condition and were surprisingly fast! Course is definitely in better condition than what I was led to believe from other comments. Would play the course more if their regular fees is a bit lower compared to some of the better courses.

Course in very good condition

My first game in about a year, worried about CoVid-19. Bur concerns went away once I went inside the clubhouse as everyone was wearing a mask and self distancing. A few tee boxes were a bit over watered and soft. Fairways were generally in good condition; no GUR that I’ve seen. Greens can be improved, but were very playable. 9th green a pair of short tire marks, probably from greenskeeper’s mower. The one trap thai I went into had real sand! Good course layout, very flat. Senior pricing very reasonable; I’ll definitely play the course again!

Brentwood Golf Club...Improving

Golf ow Hot Deal made this course very affordable. Course conditions are better than the ladt time I played, but improvements are still needed. Several tee boxes have bare spots, several areas of fairways are over watered and muddy, some bunkers have dried soil and without sand, and those with sand are often too hard. Greens are in better conditions. I don’t mind playing the course when I get Hot Deals, but am afraid it’s not worth paying full price.

Course neglected

Only reason for average overall is because of Golfnow hot deal. Otherwise, 2, maybe 1 star. Weeds or bare soil on tee boxes, fairways, greens, & bunkers.. Overwatering a few fairways made those fairway areas muddy. Ladies ‘ tournament really slowed the pace of play. The good...cold drinking water on watet buckets, carts in working condition.

Deer Ridge Golf Course

Played using hot deal which made the fee very affordable. Played from the white tees. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good condition with greens plaing true. Several bunkers are hard n barely playable. Rough are cut just enough to punish errant shots, but not cut too high to make them unplayable. But don’t go into the tall weeds as ball be likely be lost. Will surely be playing this course more.

Deer Ridge GC-fair, challenging course

This is my favorite course in the area. Well maintained, friendly staff and competitive golf fees. As a single digit golfer, this course provides me a good challenge. Just wish they can fix the tenth fairway which has been the only achilles heel for this course. The greens are also recovering nicely from a recent aeration done as part of regular maintenance. With a couple of course closures in the area, this has become my home course, a pretty good one!

Hiddenbrooke GC

Surpriced to see a low priced hot deal for this course. Well, it was because greens were recently aerated. Needless to say, putting was no fun at all! Rest of the course seem to be in excellent condition. Had I realized greens were recently aerated, I would have played at a different golf course.

Rio Vista GC, not like it was

Good deal from Golfnow, but course condition did not nake it such a good desl. Seversl tee bixes were neglected/bare to the soil, uneven. Lots of fairway areas were bare or dead grass. Bunkers had no sand, but instead was muddy or hard, crusty tops; should be marked GUR. Greens were the best part. Too bad, my nemory of this course from playing it multiple times was good...not anymore.

Fast play, very reasonable fees, fun round

Started play before 7am. Players ahead and following. By the 2nd hole, no more waiting! Greens are in good shape, but a little bumpy. Fairways are over watered in a few areas, likely cause a few areas are drying out. Bunkers now have real sand, at least the 4 that my ball happen to go into. Overall, course is in good shape for an enjoyable round.
