Don’t play if you can’t pick your 18

Farmstead is a very good value for money course. That out of the way, they have an 18 hole course (lake/club) and a 9 hole course (valley). It seems that they are putting golf now customers on a 18 layout mixing valley in there when it is not mentioned. Valley is poorly maintained and lacks a good layout that the other 9’s have. Teeboxes were really bad on all 9’s this year and overall maintenance has seemed to decline from previous years. Post what 18 will be active for the day.

Dear rangr514,
I am sorry you were unhappy with your golfing experience on 10/6. Please be aware that when you buy a “Hot Deal” from Golf Now, the golf club where you will play has no involvement or control over those tee times. Golf courses provide Golf Now with Tee times in exchange for the use of their GolfNow system, but then those tee times (prices and location) are fully controlled by Golf Now. We did just submit a request to GolfNow to include the location of the course when they advertise their “Hot Deals”. I was surprised by your criticism of our golf course….We put a lot of work into and take a lot of pride in the maintenance Farmstead Golf & Country Club and normally receive excellent reviews. We encourage you to visit our website at www.farmsteadgolf.com where all of our tee times indicate date, time, and course rotation….I am confident you will enjoy your experience and surroundings.
Bob Phoebus, owner, Farmstead Golf & Country Club

Heading In The Right Direction

Being the first time I played this course, I could immediately tell the course is trying to improve itself. A few greens are being modernized which is a pleasant thing to see. Pretty short course but challenging at times, a few memorable holes. Golf carts need help. No windshields. Decent practice facility.

Great value, Slow Pace

Hiland is a great course in great shape but they need to be more organized with their tee sheet. A 5 hour round is way too long for this short of a course. Golf carts need some help too.

Glad it's open but still needs help.

2 days after rain, course very wet. Cart paths are atrocious. Greens are fast, but all domed with signs of age. If you can get a good price, go for it, it's fun.

No Notice Of Aeration/Come On Time

Greens and Fairways are spiked with no alert. Starter was extremely rude if you book with Golf Now regarding starting early, accommodations etc. If you have problems with golf now golfers, don't use golf now. That being said, nice layout back nine, front 9 is a swamp. Bunkers are concrete. Bring bug spray. Clubhouse is a wedding hall, not a clubhouse.

Awesome Layout. Just be mindful of your ball selection because you can lose many of them. Be prepared for a long round. Crystal stacks tee-times way too close, so you always get backed up. Greens need some work as they seem really slow. Good bit of ground under repair but at least that shows they care. Course price is great value if you can get a reduced rate. Clubhouse bar is a ripoff.

Great Design

I'd give it a 5 out of 5 if the bunkers (which there are a ton of) were in better shape. The fairways were aerated too, but will recover as the crystal springs courses always do.

Beautiful Course, slow play.

They stack golfers too close so the pace of play is affected to the point you're always waiting for your next shot. A 5h12m round on a Friday mid day is terrible. Other than that, beautiful course. Stands up to an expensive resort course quality.

Good luck finishing if it's late

They stack everyone up with no gaps so the course backs up. Also as most courses are in the fall, they are doing serious aeration.
