Shingle Creek Golf Club
Played On 05/24/2017be aware
even though we knew they were aerating, the conditions were poor. there was so much sand on both the greens and fairways it was like every shot was a bunker shot. Also, we were not told that holes 10-18 were closed and that our 18 hole round consisted of playing holes 1-9 twice we would have played elsewhere. the course does appear nice and probably plays better when not under aeration.
Crestview Country Club
Played On 04/23/2017nice layout
played here today for the first time. all employees (bag assistant, starter & pro shop staff were extremely friendly. conditions were great, even for early in year. greens were smooth and rolled true. fairways were good with minimal divot holes. the rough was rough as it was uneven and hadn't appeared to be cut in a while. bunkers were hard pack and a little rocky, though playable. cart paths showed their age (but not going to the course to ride the cart) so not a big deal. we only saw a water cooler on hole 10 and no beverage cart, which seemed unusual on a sunday.
will definitely play here again as course will probably be in better condition once everything grows in.
Blackledge Country Club - Anderson's Glen
Played On 10/15/2016poor greens
had to wait about 30 min for frost delay but starter was friendly to talk to. THE PROBLEM IS they had aerated the greens and that was not noted when I made my reservation nor were we told until after we paid. the greens also had not been cut and played like the ball was in the fairway. this was extremely disappointing as the greens were unplayable. all the staff said was 'take a two putt'. course had some nice holes and bunkers were in good shape. I would not recommend playing here for the next two weeks until the greens were able to recover. additionally, the care we were given had terrible steering almost to the point where it was dangerous to drive. I would have rated this course 'average' if the greens were in better condition
Mount Snow Golf Club
Played On 08/14/2016worth the money
got $24 rate so had to play despite a 2 hr drive. it had poured yesterday but the course drained fairly well. the bunkers though were poor. most did not have any sand and was either dirt or gravel. some greenside bunkers though had sand and were fine. the fairways were ok at best. many bare spots, though this may truly be what mountain golf is. also there were many elevation changes so had to play for that and not many flat lies on the fairways. even many of the tee boxes it was difficult to find a flat spot. The greens though were in great shape.
i would play here again though it would have to be a hot deals rate as i can't see paying $70 to play here.
Portland Golf Course
Played On 06/28/2014nice for the price
played here over the weekend for the first time. Nice that there was a starter to assist, though the course was fairly empty and he was hesitant to let us tee off before our stated time even though it was open. layout and holes lend itself to course management. that makes up for the shorter distance so really have to play from blues or golds as whites are just too short. Course was in excellent condition! refreshing to see bunkers neately raked and retain sand with little to no rocks. this is different from many other courses in the area where bunkers are not wll maintained. Refreshment staff at the turn was friendly which was nice to see. there were water coolers spaced out throughout the course, though probably didn;t need one after whole 2. Will definitely play here again, expecially for $35.
Sorry you were unhappy with your experience at Blackledge. Aerification of greens is a necessary evil for all courses to undergo this time of the year. Our greens were done October 18-19. After they are done they typically seem slow and hairy because as the plugs get pulled out they cause the grass to no longer be laying down uniformly. I assure you they were mowed, it just takes some time for them to heal. All times booked online for that week did have an aerification warning on the booking page. Sorry you didn't see or were aware of that.
