Very nice links course. The wind was not blowing very hard so it didn’t play extremely difficult as it might under different conditions. The pace of play could be better. The staff and fellow golfers were very friendly. We had a nice day.

We enjoyed our day at Hawthorne Hills. I’m not sure why we were started on the 10th hole, but our first nine holes were slow as a twosome, but probably took about 2 hours. We waited before many shots. Making the turn to hole one, with no one in front of us, and in a cart, the 2nd nine took about an hour. We finished in less than 3 hours total. The course was in great shape: tee boxes, fairways & greens. Sand & rough were also well maintained. Check in was easy with pleasant women getting us started. We arrived 10 minutes before our tee time and told we could start whenever we were ready. Cart girl stopped by twice on our front 9, but didn’t see her on the back nine. Course is well laid out and holes 1-9, away from the road, were very pretty. Good value for our money. Definitely would return and highly recommend.

I bought two rounds with cart from Golf Now. I received an email that the course was “walking only”. We decided to play. To my surprise the Golf manager told his employees to make sure we paid for push carts $6/each. Wait, we paid upfront for motorized carts which weren’t allowed, but now they were making us pay for push carts. They told us to complain to GolfNow because we brought our rounds from them. Very poor customer service. The manager wasn’t there when we arrived or when we finished. He put his employees in a very uncomfortable situation as they agreed with us. They could have let us use the $6 push cart in place of the prepaid $16 motorized cart without up charging us.
