Conditions on the front 9 were a little disappointing. A lot of burned out grass, fairly bare patches, etc. A lot of uphill, sidehill, downhill terrain on the front 9. The back 9 had much better conditions and the terrain is a lot flatter.

Course was in great condition and was fun to play. Staff was very friendly and helpful. From the bag drop person to the pro shop, with extra kudos to Gynger (who welcomes you and goes over the cart with you) and starter Bill C., who couldn't have been nicer. I would recommend Reflection Bay to anyone who likes a well conditioned course and a good challenge. Suitable for players of average ability and above. Just play from the appropriate tees and you will enjoy your day.

I remember when this course used to be one of the premier courses in the Crystal Springs group of courses. It seems that they have put most of their efforts into Ballyowen and Wild Turkey and let the Crystal Springs course slip.

The greens were aerated, but that was not noted in the Golf.Now listing. They were slow and bumpy.

The tee boxes on the Villages 9 were in bad shape, lots of crab grass and blotchy. Fairway on this 9 were also a little worse for wear. On the Classic 9, both the tee boxes and fairways were in substantially better condition.
