Best condition in years

Mid-May golf and the course conditions are great. Real sand in the traps and can actually hit out of them.
I thought the greens were a little firm for so early in the year.

Not your typical 9 hole.....

Be prepared to use your driver early and often, long irons come into play on a number of holes.
Great condition.
This is the only course I would consider joining a league.

Midwest gem

Layout, course conditions, amenities are all excellent.
This course is for the intermediate to advanced golfer.
If this course was closer, it would be a weekly player.

1 for 2 special

This is a four star course, if they would have given me a rain check for my paid GolfNow round the week before..
It was on and off raining and the clubhouse wouldn't let me go out or give me a raincheck. They said take it up with GolfNow, and GolfNow said it's the course's responsibility since they wouldn't let me out.
Either way, I'm out $40 with no golf or raincheck.
Here's your one star review.....

Early season maintenance

Early season maintenance on greens.
Some are being broadened, so 1 to 4 feet of "green" is really just mowed down fairway.
Greens are fast, I'm used to Balmoral having some of the truest greens in the South Suburbs, so I'll wait another 6+ weeks to shoot again, until maintenance and grass is done.
Overall course was in above average condition.

Needs work

Course needs reseeding. I lot of crab grass in the middle of the fairways, some bare areas on tee boxes, greens are ultra fast, but ok condition. But value for course is 5 stars.

Great layout, bad turf

Too much clover and crab grass for my liking, but course is well designed.
May play again if turf is better.

Great value

$25, 18 holes with cart every Friday.
Pace may be a little slow with retirees, but worth it. Uneven tee boxes, fast greens on my date of play. It was in great condition except for the tee boxes.
I'll shoot it many times again.

Great course, bad conditions

First off, I play this course 4 to 6 times a year, usually May or after. It is always in great shape, I just made a tee time after 2 days of on and off rain, so it made this course spongy. Greens are in great condition despite aforementioned rain.

Memorial Day round

I haven't shot Longwood in about 3 years. Partly because of course conditions and rotating ownership (non-ownership).
My friend golfed it the week before and said it was in good condition. Let me say this is the best condition the course has been in at least 6 years.
Green are in super condition. Fairways are perfect.
I wish the rough was cut a little closer, but don't we all?
Looks like previous drainage issues on #4(?), are under control. What use to be mud, is now playable fairway grass.
Will definitely play this course again. Just cut the rough 2 inches shorter!
