We were a threesome and it took 5 hours to finish our round. The greens were aerated and sandy ( not mentioned on GolfNow) I would love to play the course with regular greens. Staff was very friendly and nice.

Greens played good and they are working on other aspects of the course.

It was my first time playing here and I liked the course in general. I was paired up with some guys that helped me navigate the course. It was already a slow pace but that was exasperated by the fact that 4 staff members, according to an employee, jumped in front of the group in front of us on the 10th tee and slowed us down.

Typically the course is in great shape but today the tee boxes and greens left a little to be desired. Lots of bare, dirt patches on the greens and most tee boxes were pretty spotty too.

The staff at Applewood is the greatest. We made the tee time on Sunday and we’re hoping that it wouldn’t be too wet. Unfortunately it was very wet but the staff let us play anyway. It was cartpath only so we decided to just walk and that proved to be an adventure as it started raining on us at the 6th tee… the furthest point from the clubhouse. We stopped at 9 but we were given a rain check. The course was more than gracious to let us attempt to play because most other courses would have closed. I always love playing here and will continue to do so

I like the course in general, they are putting in irrigation on the back nine so be aware of this when booking. We had to skip a hole and some holes were being prepped for the irrigation but all in all it was a good round.

I can’t say enough about the staff here, very friendly and polite. Greens are true and good, except for a few spots but for the value, it’s one of the best kept secrets in the CSRA.

4 1/2 hours for a Monday afternoon is way too long. 2 walkers and a rider in front of us were slowing everything down

When I booked the tee time, I knew the greens were being aeratied and it wasn’t really a problem on the front 9, but on the back there were no flags in any of the pins. Even after calling the clubhouse and making sure the back 9 was open, no one ever came out to put flags in. Several workers were driving around on carts and saw me playing but no one ever put the pins in, even though they were laying down beside the greens. Not very happy with this experience.

I have been playing here for a long time and this is the best shape it’s ever been in. The greens were receptive and in good shape. Fairways were not like pastures in the past.

We were behind a tournament so pace was so slow even though they did have a Marshall riding around. The layout is a challenge but fair to most average players. The greens were recovering from aeration so they were bumpy and inconsistent. Overall a good experience because the staff was very friendly and the tee to green play was excellent.

The course was cart path only after some rain on Sunday and I do know why. My playing partner has a prosthetic leg and we got him a handicap flag so that we could go slightly off path, but never onto the wet fairways or near the greens. At most we would go in the intermediate rough between fairway and path, but still that was wet but we are always respectful of the course. On TWO occasions we had a person from other groups yell out to us ‘Do you know it’s cart path only?’ To which we replied as nicely as possible that he only has one leg and we do have a blue flag. One gentleman approached us later to apologize because he didn’t notice his leg or flag. The other guy was basically a jerk and went on his way. In my opinion, mind your own business if you don’t know the circumstances of others. I don’t ride up behind people complaining about them not repairing ball marks or dragging their feet. So to the older gentleman who decided that he needed to be honorary Marshall, keep to your group please.

The hardness and dryness on most fairways make the ball really run out The greens are good for this time of the year, a little inconsistent but not bad. The only real problem I had was the threesome that tees off in front of me and my partner ( even though we arrived at the tee first). They played from the yellow tees and we still waited on every hole. We even let a single pass is at the turn and they NEVER let him play through, even though no one was in front of them.

This is a nice course for the money. Good for a player hit hits mostly a fade. Greens were fast and you need to hit high approach shot to hold the greens. We drove about an hour to play and would do it again

I have been playing The Patch for a long time and today I thought I would try it out. The fairways and greens were better than I have seen them in a while. The tee boxes need work but overall the course was in pretty good shape. Still a little high priced but I played in less than 2 hours so that was a plus

Great course. Loved it. Played with a great guy and had lots of fun

I am about a 16 handicap and I thought the course was challenging but not impossible. A few very long par 3’s and most of the par 5’s had water carries off the tee and/or approach to the green. A few of the greens were burnt out and a couple were very fuzzy and slow. I would play here again.
