Eagle's Landing
Played On 09/05/2023Advise in advance of aeration
Always liked the course. Nice layout. Some great views. Challenging; yet fair. Two issues; some fairways were bare. Was literally hitting off hard ground with no grass on a couple. The main gripe is that they should publicly post when aeration was performed. The greens were recently done and it did somewhat affect play. Had we known this in advance; I would have held off booking for another week. Even at check-in, this wasn’t mentioned. Prices are high enough these days. Knock a few bucks off when conditions are affected.
Clustered Spires Golf Course
Played On 08/29/20191st Time - Easy Layout
Golf Now did NOT mention that the back nine was closed when I booked. I don’t blame the course for that. Not very crowded; maybe because others knew of the airation. Pace was fine. Greens were in very good shape, as were most fairways. The bunkers were basically packed down dirt. My fellow players pulled their’s out and played from the side. That was the only real negative. Not a very challenging layout, but certainly nothing wrong (with the nine holes I saw;: twice). Very friendly lady checked me in and got me out early.. Thank you! I’ll definitely go back.
Westminster National Golf Course
Played On 08/17/2017Worth the drive
This course is 45 minutes from my home and I play there a few times a month. Pace of play on weekdays is usually very good. Course conditions are good with good tee boxes and fairways and smooth (although domed) greens. There is a wide variety of holes, some of which are rather challenging; but fair.
The crew in the pro shop are always friendly and helpful.
Richland Golf Club
Played On 11/14/2016I'm heading back
This was my first time playing there. It was recommended by someone I was paired with the week before. Nice layout and everything, (including the bunkers), was in very good condition. Extremely friendly staff. No blind shots which is somewhat unusual for that area and surrounding courses. Greens had a lot of undulation and were challenging. I had more than a couple three putts. The pace of play was pretty fast, but it was mid-morning on a Monday, so it was as expected.
There is a nice sports bar in the clubhouse, although I didn't eat there, but others were.
I am definitely heading back soon. Good value for the money and definitely worth the drive (45 minutes from where I live).

Played On 11/10/2016Challenging and interesting layout
First time there. Many blind shots. The guy I was paired with gave good guidance. Had to play the front 9 twice (hence the price paid). The greens had just been airated, so It's not fair to judge them, but you could tell you need to hit them near the center to hold. I look forward to returning when the full course is open.
One note to Golf Now: I realized from the price break that something was up, but it would be helpful to note course conditions on your site. I know you do this on other courses and maybe this course didn't notify you. Just saying....
Otherwise, a great layout and in good shape. I definitely recommend this course.
The Timbers at Troy
Played On 10/11/2016Good pace of play
Check in was friendly and quick. What more do you need? Fairways were all very good, as were most greens. The bunkers were poor to say the least. Little sand. Lots of standing water and leaves. I know we had rain days earlier, but I have played elsewhere since and didn't see any bunker issues. The pace of play was very good compared to other courses (yes, I'm talking about you; Waverly Woods). Overall all a good round. But if you paid rack rate, as opposed to using Golf Now, it would have been considered too expensive for the conditions.
Waverly Woods Golf Course
Played On 10/06/2016Fast Greens
The layout is challenging and the length is up to you. Plenty of tees to choose from. Course was in very good shape. Keep it in the fairway because the rough is cut on the high side (at least compared to other local courses). The greens were very fast and true. My only gripe was the pace of play. A mid-afternoon round on a Thursday should not get close to four hours. The twosome I was paired with bailed after eight holes to skip ahead or go home. They couldn't take it any longer. Otherwise, a good day.
Thank you for the nice and review and sorry about our misstep on the pace of play that day.
The Bay Club - East Course
Played On 07/15/2016Nice layout, nice course conditions.
A VERY hot day, so not many players. This mad to pace of play great. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers were all in great shape for mid July. Greens were clean and relatively fast. Very friendly staff. Overall a good value for the money.
Eagle's Landing
Played On 04/15/2016Pace of play!!
Played here many., many times over the years and like the course. The price goes up every year, but I understand basic supply and demand. That being said, a Friday afternoon in mid April should NEVER take three hours on the back nine. We saw a ranger once. He could have cared less. Waiting so long between shots ruins the round, I know this is the season for "buddy trips" and the associated drinking and stuff that comes with it, but don't book tee time so close nobody can move. We didn't see any one group that was holding things up. It's just the course management (in their greed) booking tee times too close together. If and when I play here again, it will be Monday through Thursday. Hopefully we can finish an afternoon round without screwing up our dinner plans. (And we don't eat early!)

Played On 10/15/2015Good Value
Course was in good shape. Very fast (faster than usual) greens. The rough was kind of deep and we lost a few balls that should have easily been found. Pace of play was good for a weekday.
Little Bennett Golf Course
Played On 09/24/2015Glad I Went Back
Had not been there for a few years. After a drought, conditions were very good. Holes 9 & 18 are challenging, but memorable. Glad I went back and will be playing again there soon.
Rattlewood Golf Course
Played On 09/09/2015Good Value
There hasn't been any real rain in over a month, so some fairways were dried out, but the greens were great all the way through the round. Pace was good (normal) for a weekday afternoon. I had not played the course in a while, but this round will get me back more often.
Fairway Hills Golf Club
Played On 08/27/2015Call before you book
I've played here a few times before. I agree with most reviews in that the overall course length is no measure of the difficulty of some holes. That being said, on the day I played, the greens were terrible. Assuming they had recently been airrated, they were all full of sand and were extremely slow and uneven. I know this is a reality on any course , but the course should alert Golf Now to post it. By the way, nobody in the pro shop bothered to mention this when I was checking in. My playing partners were disappointed in this as well.
WestWinds Golf Club
Played On 07/31/2015Good Value
Play there semi often. The pace of play could improve with some monitoring. Some groups simply refuse to let singles play through even with open holes in front of them. Frustrating. Staff is great. Conditions are good. Food/bar is very nice. Great to see it back in full operation since the current owners took over. Some very challenging holes, but certainly fair once you know the course.

GlenRiddle Golf Club - War Admiral Course
Played On 07/19/2015Challenging
Be a long hitter or play th forward tees. Certainly fair, but some challenging holes; 18th did me in. Very fast and true greens. And plenty of water on a hot day; more than most courses. Will definitely play there again.

Thanks for your feedback, Roger. There's no doubt the bunkers need work. So you'll be happy to know that full bunker and irrigation renovations have begun! As such we will be a 9 hole course throughout the winter of 2016, but we will begin the 2017 season with all new bunkers!!
