Homestead Golf Course in Tipp City Ohio

First of all I got ripped off because they have an add on there web site saying green fees and 1/2 cart 18 holes 20.00 dollars per person. I total the manager if I could play the back 9 first and then finish up on the front 9 manager said no problem Well it all started on hole number 15 the cart that I was in started driving slower and slower and I saw a man getting the grass and told him about the problem and he said he would get somebody out here to help me. Nobody came so I continue to struggle with the cart on hole 17th I called in to speak to the manager and told him about my problem and he said that someone will come out to help me I waited 30 minutes and nobody showed up at that my boiling pressure was steaming mad so I walked back to the clubhouse and told the manager were is the person at that suppose to help me his respone was I totally forget about you. At that moment I blue up and told the manager I wanted my money back and his comment was well you play 7 holes already so I asked to speak to the owner and of course he wasn't there so I then asked for his phone number and tried to call him and got no answer. I am so mad because I play this course I will never ever play this course again not even if its free. This by far is the worse course ever in Ohio All I want is my money back

This is the second best metropark course I have ever played

I booked a foursome through Golfnow.com for 22.00 ea 18 holes w cart for 12:30 PM tee off time We got there thinking we might be able to tee off early but the ranger said no. So we went to the practice green to due some putting and chipping at 12:45 PM we got the call from the ranger to go to the first tee. They we already 3 groups ahead of us. So we waited another 25 minutes before we got to tee off. the greens were very fast and we all missed a lot of birdies putts. It was the men against the boy I was on fire the first 9 holes with 3 birdies and one birdie from Rick we shoot a 31 on the front 9 and had a 8 stroke lead over them it was a different story on the back 9 my son got 3 birdies and Patrick got one so the lead was down to 4 shots and they just won't go away until the cut the lead to a one stroke lead for us going to the 18 hole they needed to make a birdie and we just needed a par and Rick did just that by putting in a 20 footer for par and the men beat by the boys by one slow play we were waiting at every hole about 20-25 minutes and the people behind us was shooting shots before we were on the green I said something to the ranger and he just left They have no yard markers on most of the holes with was had to tell your distance one group on the back nine got so mad at himself that he through his group club onto the other good that was uncalled
for because he could have hurt somebody. It took us 6.5 hours to play 18 holes you need the ranger to do his job by keeping up the pace rather then doing nothing at all Steve from North Olmsted Ohio

This sourse was fun to play the weather was excellent and I shoot my best round of the year

I booked a tee time of 11.37 AM for 21.00 ea 18 holes w cart My only negative thing about Big Met was the starter he won't let me play a head of a two some he said that they booked there time ahead of me the starter wasn't the a friendly guy at all then after playing the front 9 which took me 2 1/2 hours to play 9 holes the pace was very slow waiting to tee of at every hole after I finish the front 9 I asked the starter to keep my spot because I had to you the restroom when I got back the foursome jumped ahead of me after the started said he doesn't let people cut in front of them so now I am behind a group of four waiting again at each and every hole I finally finished up at 6:30 PM Still all in all it was a fun day golfing for the first time at Big Met by the way I shoot a 78 again best round ever for me I will come back to play this course again and this time I will bring enough for a foursome Thank you again for the staff at Big Met everybody was very friendly and caring including the starter This course has a nice layout and they do have some tough holes like Hole #13 dog leg left I did manage to get a par on the hole water was to the left side I hit my 3 hybrid to the edge of the green shooting for a birdie from about 25 feet I got it close to the pin and made par Keep up the good work Big Met Thanks Steve

They need to water the fairways more often because there was alot of brown stops in the fairways

Well we had a little bit of a problem I booked through golfnow.com for a foursome at 21.00 ea for 18 holes w/cart and it was for 11:33 AM I called the course and said to them that we would be a little late and they said nobody by the name of Kneebusch is booked for 11:33 AM so I quickly called golfnow.com to tell them of the problem at 15 minutes on the phone golfnow.com found my confirmation and also called Grey Hawk for us when we all arrived by that time it was 12:05 PM it finally got straighten out and we then went over to the practice greens for about 35 minutes because the starter had us now teeing off at 12:45 PM We were behind 3 groups of 2 people per cart We finally got to tee off but it was 1:PM now each hole a some kind of different feature to it It actually felt like we were at TPC Sawgrass golf course There was a lot of bunkers sand traps that needed more sand in it and lots of water on both sides of the greens We played best ball on all 18 holes The pace all day long was very slow we were waiting anywhere between 25-30 minutes per hole The starter made a big mistake we he sent out 3 groups of two per cart. Then one of our electric carts died on the 9th hole we had to call for some help we ended up getting a new electric cart to play the back 9 All in all our foursome had a good time at Grey Hawk I will come back again but the owners need to find away to make the fairways more green then brown and clean up the greens also because they are to brown and a lot of bare marks on the green this course is now 2nd best to Sleep Hollow in Brecksville Ohio They need maintance to due a better job overall with the course it is beginning to fall apart once a nice course is now falling to the bottom of the list in course that I have played great valve for your money only if you use golfnow.com I wouldn't pay 65.00 ea for 18 holes w/cart better course out there for far less money then grey hawk again I like the course layout and I will come back again by using golfnow.com My group had fun enjoyed themselves and my son shot an 82 for 18 holes I barely beat him because I shot an 80 for 18 holes I shot 6 strokes worse then I shot on a regular basics around 74-75 for 18 holes the 7th hole by far is the toughest hole on this course all four of us got par. This course makes you think hard about your golf section I miss judged a couple of the holes but used a 6 hybird on the 11th hole the island green and put it 4 feet over the pin my son used a 3 hybird and hit it within one feet in front of the pin by far his best shot of the day It was an excellent day to play golf about 79 degrees outside and a lot of sunshine differently you had to wear your sunglasses because every hole you were looking into the sun A gave a 5 star rating because it is still a good course to play have maintance spend one year on fixing the fairway and the greens and this course would be the best course in Ohio right now Sleep Hollow is my number one course in Ohio Thanks Steve

The staff at Hinckley Hills course is very rooted and not friendly at all

I booked 9 holes of golf for a group of 5 before I booked it I called the course and told them that we had to be done by 11:30 AM the latest. I also asked him if we can tee of on the back 9 and he said no problem. I booked a threesome for 8:32 AM and a twosome for 8:40 AM Unfortunately 3 guys couldn't make and we were left with two of us so I ask the guy with we can go and play the back 9 holes and he said find. So the two of us tee of from the 10th hole after hour shots were in the fairway the starter comes over and say we have to play the front 9 holes so he called back to the front desk and asked if we can stay on the 10th hole and the front desk said no I tried to talk with him over the starter phone and he said no so we had to go and get our balls from the fairway and the starter said you will be playing the front 9 holes instead I was getting just a little upset because the front 9 now was six deep with carts I when in to talk with the front desk and he told me you must play the front 9 after telling me it was ok to play the back 9 earlier. I asked for my money back and he refuse to give me my money back and threat that he would call the police. I told him go right ahead and call the police so after 10 minutes he finally give my money back and we left the course. I will never ever come back to this place to play golf. They need new management and bad because the front desk guy must have an attitude problem with people in general This guy should be fired and let go. The course should also be shut down for good.

I will never play this course again

I booked through Golfnow.com Thank God I Did My same group of guys how have been playing over 30 plus years of golf. We had a 12:30 PM tee time. On the first hole there was a foursome that was ahead of us as we were waiting to tee off. They were in the middle of the fairway looking for there golf balls 20 minutes had past by and they still were looking for there golf balls they finally give up and put new balls into play after 50 minutes went by they were done and on there way to the second hole. We finally got to tee off at 1:20 PM All four of us put our golf balls in the middle of the fairway we also experienced the same thing 20 minutes later we can not found our golf balls either so we used a new balls and had to guess where all of our golf balls landed 50 minutes later we were done. We went to the second hole waited again for the foursome ahead of us. What they were doing is looking for golf balls and they finally finished up and we tee off next again all four of our golf balls right down the middle of the fairway. again we were looking 20 minutes for our golf balls we give up and put new golf balls done 50 minutes it took us to finish the second hole. Finally we are on the 9th hole and I decide to take out my tape measure and I measure the middle of the fairway greens and it was between 5-7 inches tall no liar. We finished the 9th hole tried and got something to eat the hot dogs were burnt and the tuna sandwich was tear able even to eat. So we went out to start the back nine just hoping it would be better it just get worse for us middle of the fairway on the 10th hole same results lost golf balls again finished the hole and went to the 11th hole All four of our golf balls in the middle of the fairway again same results looking 20 minutes for our golf balls one of my guys noticed something strange he saw somebody on a tractor cutting the grass but he wasn't in the middle of the fairway cutting, but he was cutting the out of bounce area instead we all look at each other and said why isn't he cutting the fairways. Finally the 18th hole with nobody behind us we each tee off for the final time today and 3 of us hit it in the middle of the fairway one was in the rough we were playing best ball all day long spent 20 minutes again looking for our golf balls no luck new golf balls again and we finally finished the 18th hole and drove our carts back to each of our cars. Each one of us was frustrated angry upset and so tired from looking for our golf balls in 5-7 inches of grass We each said to one another this by far is the worst and I mean worst golf course we as a group as ever played in Ohio and we went home very disappointed in the entire day. Please Golfers we mean it stay far away from this Golf Course that you can.
