Penderbrook Golf Club
Played On 09/12/2020Nice greens; rough fairways
Nice course with good variety of holes. Tight fairways and tough rough. Recent rain made fairways soggy and a few were in bad shape. Like a few courses around here it has poor drainage in a few holes. Looks like they are trying to restore the bad fairways. Greens were in very good shape and putted very true.
$70 seems high for a round on this course but being Saturday morning and rates at nearby courses, it’s not out of line.
Staff were great. I booked as single and no one else booked the tee time. Starter asked 4some ahead of me to swap tee times so I was first one out and able to finish in a bit over 2 hrs.
Will play here again but may wait for next season to see if fairways improve.
Talamore Golf Resort
Played On 05/23/2020Perfect conditions; well maintained
Was first out with buddy so cruised around in 3 hrs. Course was in great condition. Greens firm and fast despite recent rains (6+ inches in prior week). Practice green was immaculate and prepared you for the round. Driving range was very nice and you hit off grass. Some bunkers had ruts from rains and a few had water.
Course is spread out so not walker friendly as long walks from greens to tees.
Holes are varied with nice mix or doglegs left and right. Not a tight course but trouble lurks if you spray it.
Would definitely play again.
Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club
Played On 05/22/2020Great course; slow greens
Very nice layout; compact but doesn't feel cramped. Took cart as playing with friend but would have rather walked as tees are close to greens so easily walkable. Area had received 6+ inches of rain in the previous days so some areas of fairway were soggy and not mowed. Greens were also slow but smooth. Bunkers has standing water; I lost 3 balls in fairway bunkers due to this.
Would have liked to play with faster greens but still a great day and challenging golf course. Greens still required accurate shots to be on right side ridges and humps. Definitely a course I'd like to play again.
The Club At Viniterra
Played On 10/14/2019solid course; great layout
Played afternoon round. Very easy to get around. Course is tough but fair.
Pleasant Valley Golf Club
Played On 09/25/2019Much better than spring time
Was hesitant to play here again after seeing the poor conditions in spring. Greens are in very good shape; some ball and animal marks. Tee boxes are still poor with mostly sand and sparse grass. They were aerated so club is trying to get them back in shape.
I've always liked the layout and the challenges it presents. Glad to see the conditioning is getting better. Will put this back into my rotation.
The Links At Lighthouse Sound
Played On 08/13/2019a delight to play
Played while on vacation at Bethany Beach. Had played it in 2015 & 2016 so knew the layout. Very challenging with nice views on front 9 of Ocean City. Pricey but understandable being in this area. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Greens were in great shape; not too speedy but smooth and made you pay attention. Practice area is very nice. Was in 2nd group off in morning and foursome in front let us through on 6 although really weren't playing slow. Lots of opportunities to lose balls but fairways are pretty wide but many forced carries. Overall a great experience and continues to be my first choice when in the area.
Laurel Hill Golf Club
Played On 06/14/2019Challenging course
This is a tough course with lots of hills. Course is in great shape with speedy greens that aren't out of control. Rough is penal and challenging especially around the greens. Great variety of holes. Important to play correct tees as it can be a long slog hitting long irons/fairway woods into the par 4's.
Played on Friday afternoon and pace was slow at 4/5 - 5 hrs; not unexpected for a muni that plays this difficult.
Four Mile Ranch Golf Club
Played On 05/26/2018great value for wonderful track
Hadn't played her in 5+ years and was my favorite track in Colorado. Not much has changed as little in way of amenities as clubhouse is a trailer with just drinks/snacks. You can tell they put the money into the course as it was in great condition for this time of year. Greens still showed punch marks from aeration but were smooth and good speed.
Staff is welcome and accommodating. Played as twosome to start and after playing thru 4some on 4, breezed around the course. Were able to do a replay and starter (Dennis) was very helpful in getting us a slot. They did have a lady selling hot dogs/brats/sausages at driving range with chips. Told she is there most weekends.
2nd 18 was slower as more 4somes out but pace was still less than 4 hrs.
Course is pretty open off tee but greens are tricky with huge mounds. But most greens are sloped so that errant shots will kick back toward green.
This place is always on my list when I visit Colorado Springs. A bit of a drive but well worth it.
Red Hawk Ridge
Played On 05/24/2018solid track
Very nice course with lots of elevation changes. Nice mix of holes. Generous off tees but rough is tough. Greens had been sanded so only disappointment. They rolled nice but were hard to judge especially on chips/pitches.
Will definitely have on my list next time I'm in Denver/Colorado Springs area.
Augustine Golf Club
Played On 04/28/2018Major Disappointment
Was looking forward to my round here when I saw it was a Raspberry Trail course and saw the routing on Google Maps.
Staff was top notch from start to finish. Facilities are very nice.
Bad thing was the course itself. In very bad shape. Very little grass in fairways and the green surrounds. Greens rolled nice and smooth despite recent aeration. Tee boxes had no grass and due to recent rain were muddy.
The layout of the course is nice; challenging with nice variety of holes. Lots of uneven lies and pays to play it more than once to know where not to miss.
But despite the bad course conditions the staff was great so will keep an eye on reviews to see if things improve as I would love to play here again but not with current course conditions.
Thank you for visiting Augustine GC. We appreciate the kind words relating to our staff and are sorry the course did not meet expectations. The course is a warm season grass called Bermuda which needs a few more weeks and warmer temperatures to green up. We would love to have you back out in the future. If you wait 2-3 weeks you should have a totally different experience.
Bull Run Golf Club
Played On 10/18/2017Fun course
Course was in great shape with smooth fast greens. Had 2 hr frost delay but bar had free cookies to ease the disappointment.
Very nice warm up area with chipping/bunker green and putting green. Range balls included in price.
Always enjoy playing this course as the layout is challenging but fair.
Reston National Golf Course
Played On 10/17/2017tight challenging course
Hadn't played Reston in a couple years and it was in better shape than I remember. Conditions were superb although greens putted slower than they looked. Had forgot how tight the course is but like the layout and the challenge of the holes.
Starter was very gracious and helpful. Pro shop staff were friendly and professional.
Great outing all around. Will be back sooner than 2 years.
Stonewall Golf Club at Lake Manassas
Played On 09/28/2017Love this course
3rd time playing here and always enjoy it. Layout is challenging and fun. Greens were sandy but still rolled true and were fast.
Remains in my top 3 of local courses.
Brambleton Regional Park Golf Course
Played On 09/01/2017soggy but fun course
Played in afternoon. Greens were very soft but still rolled nice. Ball marks were an issue but not so bad that they impacted putts.
Course is a bit tight in spots but greens are open in front so you can run shots on.
Pace was uneven but finished in 4 hrs; hit a bit of a pileup around 7th hole but after 10 it started flowing again.
Solid muni course that I'll play again soon.
Pleasant Valley Golf Club
Played On 08/23/2017better upkeep needed
I'm a big fan of PV as the holes are varied and it's challenging. Hadn't played there in several months so was a bit disturbed that the tee boxes and green surrounds were in such bad shape. Not sure the issue but we've had a fairly good summer so heat/drought isn't to blame.
Not sure if I'll go back anytime soon as many other options in area with better overall conditioning.
Bayside Resort Golf Club
Played On 08/09/2017fair test; lots of trouble
This course will expose any weaknesses as the amount of trouble is extreme.
Played on soggy day but course drained well. Greens were fast but not too much which is good as they are very undulated. Fairways were in great shape and no standing water.
Was missing to both sides which is not good on this course as trouble is everywhere.
Played in under 4.5 hrs which is good for this course. Waited on groups in front of our foursome but not too bad.
Will definitely play again.
Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest
Played On 07/22/2017accuracy required
Course is tight with lots of trouble. Overall condition was great except for ball marks on greens. Need to have solid game or one way miss as little room for error.
Only major complaint was we ordered food from cart on 8th tee when prompted but when we made turn the grill was not open as it doesn't open until 1100 on Saturday. Very disappointing and not sure why it opens so late on weekend.
Luckily there was a cart girl but she didn't get to our group until 14 and we were starving.
Beau Rivage Golf & Resort
Played On 07/21/2017solid track in great shape
2nd time playing BR. Fun course to play with variety of holes and good challenges. Not long but has teeth. Bunkers were a bit suspect with rocks and hard pan in places. Greens were smooth despite showing recent verticutting.
Always on my list when I visit Wilmington.
Wilmington Municipal Golf Course
Played On 07/20/2017best value in golf
Read about this course renovating greens to original Donald Ross design so had to play it. Strange course as they only renovated the green complexes so from tees until about 50 yds short of green it is muni scrubby. But from 50 yds in it is immaculate and very challenging. Bunkers are deep with soft/fluffy sand which made them even more difficult for me.
Greens are unbelievable. Smooth with no ball marks, couldn't believe this was a muni.
A definite most play in Wilmington and an incredible value.
Bull Run Golf Club
Played On 12/08/2015Great course conditions especially for December
2nd time playing this course and love the layout. Challenging without beating you up. Greens had been aerated but stilled rolled pretty true (without that it would be 5 rating).
Pro Shop staff are very engaging and helpful.
Just a great course to play.
