Pleasantly Surprised

I generally avoided this course in the past because of what I had heard about it. Friends told me it was on the expensive side and poorly maintained over the last few years. As it was so late in the season, we decided to give it a try at a discounted rate. I was very surprised by the good condition of the fairways, tee boxes, and greens. No major blemishes, not many divots, and generally smooth conditions all the way through. Fairly challenging, with several holes requiring you to carry water for a good distance. Bring some extra water balls that you don't mind losing! Overall I enjoyed the course and would return.

Consistency

I've played Town & Country a few times now; every time I go, the course is in fantastic condition. Even this late in the year (mid-October), the greens were in great shape, the fairways and tee boxes did not show that much damage from the golf season, and the sand traps were fluffy. I've always liked this course, and taking advantage of one of the "Hot Deals" via GolfNow made it a steal. Very highly recommended!

Late Season Adventure

Played in early October, course was very wet. Many of the tee boxes are sheltered by towering trees, so some areas don't get enough sunlight. Many of the greens were a mess, with large patches without grass, and hard as a rock in some areas. In addition, the exaggerated slope on some of the greens, especially in the areas where the cup was located, made putting a frustrating experience. There is difficult, and then there is silly. Feels like they tried to do too much with the greens, and now have trouble maintaining them. In addition, most of the fairways had not been cut in a while; the grass in the fairway was more like light rough. Fairly challenging course, many of the holes were short but with sharp angles to prevent low scores. Would probably go back in the spring to see if it was just a late-season effect on the course, but overall not impressed.
