Play it in the sunshine

Nice course, nice staff. These days with everyone telling you what to do, I guess I assumed every course has a lightning detection system. As weather approached I was listening for the familiar sirens to stop play. What I saw was a giant bolt of lightning and deafening crack of thunder. I probably shouldn’t have assumed. A little warning might have been nice as I have two more rounds scheduled next week and don’t want to miss them.

Stay away from my new favorite course

Played on the edge of a passing tropical depression and didn’t know if we would get the round in. We did with a 30 mph breeze. That said, everyone from the starter to the cart staff could not have been friendlier. The course was challenging in the wind but it wasn’t impossible. We really enjoyed ourselves and once some of these rules ease up, will happily return for another crack at the course and facilities. The only downside is I can’t putt to save my life, but the rest of my group drained a bunch so I guess it’s on me.

Pretty open layout

Played on a windy day it’s a pretty open layout so had to keep the ball flight low. I liked the course but I wish the fairways were a little less crowned. It seems like everything rolled off the fairway. Will try it again hopefully in a little less breeze.

Great late fall round

This course is in really good shape. We benefited from the fescue being cut down but I really appreciated a wider rough to catch the ones that just missed the fairway. As the starter pointed out,this links style course has few trees so very few leaves so balls were easy to find. Only lost one and that was in water. Well designed, FUN course to play. Can't wait to play it in the summer

Needs some work

Maybe what this course needs a few extra hands on deck. Nice enough course with doglegs on most holes. Overall condition was pretty good . Greens were fast but roll true. No starter on a Saturday. No rangers And a Lotta old guys standing around admiring their shots. Cart paths are beat up And they seem to have a water problem on the course. Was just a little bit of work it could be a really nice course. But until then play Benson.

Not first time here definitely the last time

You probably will enjoy your round more if you find a field and dig 18 holes. It's a trip back to the 1970s you don't want to go on. The guy running the place is the single worst golf course employee if ever seen.

Best experience in 5 years

This club can "touch Em all". A real home run. Top to bottom best public club in the area. Mid September conditions were pristine from tee to green. Greens were perfect and the locals apparently care enough to repair ball marks. Thank you. Can't say enough good things about this place. My hat is off to all employees and especially the greens keepers. Well done.

Great staff

Hard work on the coarse and customer service really shows. Nice layout made tougher by the wind. Uses all the clubs in the bag and a few I didn't have. Challenging.

Stay away

Starters and beverage girls were great. Everything else was a bad experience. Several years since I played here and it will be many more before I tee it up here again. Pro shop staff and rangers were surly. From tees to green the conditions were poor. They lost over 100 trees to the eab, holes all over the place. Understandable. Greens were hard as rocks, half dead, full of sand, and inconsistent. Fairways were also half gone, my lawn looks better. Fairways needed water. Trying to hit through was like hitting off a sidewalk.
We were paired with two walkers that needed walkers. So slow, lucky for us they left after a 3 hour front nine. Really a disappointing round. We won't be back.
