Nice muni course

Moody Gardens is the only choice for golf on Galveston Island unless you have access to GCC. It’s a nice public course with plenty of challenge. Water and wind, and lots of both!

Course and resort seem tired.

I have a good friend who takes his entire family to Fox Hills Resort each fall for a family golf vacation. He always talks about the place. So, on my return from Green Bay, I decided to stop and check it out. It helped that GolfNow had a great deal. I played The National. Underwhelming would be the best description. The layout is very nice, but the condition of the course was below average. Fairways were choppy, grass growing in much of the bunker system, and beat-up greens. I guess I was expecting much more. Pace was fantastic, as very few people were out playing ahead of me. However, it did seem like there were a good number of people out playing. I imagine this course could be a gem if cared for, but it appeared the course, and the entire resort, was old and looked a bit worn. I wonder if they are having trouble producing enough revenue to truly care for the facility? I doubt I'll go back, but glad I have now played it.

Beautiful course, with one exception

I've played Abbey Springs before, so I knew it would be immaculate. Everything was excellent, except the greens. We've had some rain lately, but they really didn't seem to have been mowed in a couple of days. That was rather disappointing for a course of this stature.

Nice course, but bad luck

I've been out to Broadlands twice now. It's a solid hour drive, so not on my short list of courses. But, it is a really nice course, well-maintained, and challenging holes. I've found outstanding deals on GolfNow both times. Sadly, I've had bad luck out there. The first time, I went with a friend. We finished the 6th hole, a great par-5, only to have a shotgun outing starting on every hole! Two five-somes on each tee! We couldn't believe it. And, nothing had been said to us as we started our round. We received a refund, but left with a bad taste in our mouths.
This time, I went alone and played with 3 great guys. We had a nice round going. Then, as we arrived at the 15th tee, it started to pour rain. Weather forecasts said nothing about rain. That ended our round early.
So, I haven't finished 18 at Broadlands yet. I may return if the deals continue, because I really think it's a nice course, worth the drive from time to time.

Best condition I've seen at Maplecrest!

I've only played Maplecrest a few times, but it was easily in the best condition I've ever seen. Greens are smooth, fairways full and defined, the rough was playable everywhere. Weather has helped, but they are doing a great job maintaining the course. Pace of play was wonderful the day I played...under 4 hours! With the deal I found on GolfNow, I'll easily go back to play again!

Great condition; great deal!

I've played Rivermoor a dozen times, at least. Not sure the course has ever been in such good condition! The weather was perfect, and pace of play was under 4 hours, so that helped. But, greens and fairways are superb. Surprised more people weren't playing. Disappointed with the lack of people in the clubhouse...otherwise, a great day of golf.
