Fun Times

Played many times, fun course just wonder where the other players are. It seems like we are the only ones playing, but that's great for us - no one pushing us to hurry. We played in less than four hours.

getting better all the time

Have been playing here for several months using the hot deals, the greens are getting better each time, fast enough but controllable. The layout is fun, but several holes are just copies of other holes, like several par threes. Always have a great time at Stonecrest.

great course for the money

Had played ere before but this was the best! Greens were superb, fairways had lots of grass, same for the tee boxes. We had a 10:00 tee times but got off a few minutes early., didn't catch anyone until number 8,. Even then the play was good.
The only concern we had was after we finished and heard that a developer wanted to build houses in the area and might destroy the layout and put houses where some holes are located and take away some of the tree/wetland areas. It is a great course, hope that they can control the future.

great time, where were the golfers?

Had a fun time playing, tee boxes were good, fairways had grass, greens were bumpy - some bad spots and goosegrass. Don't hit into the deep rough, will have a long time looking for your ball. The summer special is $20 for a round, including cart. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Just wondered where all the golfers were, we played all 18 holes and never saw anyone else playing, granted it was hot but no other players?

great time playing

It was just aeriated, but the greens were quite playable. We had a fun time, only waited on the first hole and had a twosome behind us but we let them play through, never saw anyone after that. The new management gave us a great rate (dollar a hole) since they just punched the greens. Looking forward to another round, the layout is fun - just enough water to make you hit the ball.

horrible greens

From the first tee, I knew there was going to be trouble. The fairways were so very thin, almost no grass to hit off then we got to the greens, what a mess. Very little grass and mostly dirt. It was a waste of time to try to read a put. The management keeps talking about how they are improving, but over the past months nothing has improved. The only good part is the ball just rolls and rolls - due to being no fairway grass and being so dry and hard.

dry conditions

Course was good overall but they need to water. Tee boxes were dry, some almost no grass, many greens were dry, their attempts to repair with compose was ok but the pin placement was sometimes in the bad part of the green instead of the grass portion. Many fairways were dry, good for roll but bad for growing grass.

good time for us

Having played many times before but the first time in quite a few months, the course did not disappoint. Tee boxes were good, fairways had lots of grass, the greens were a little slow but rolled nicely.

don't bother

Was looking forward to playing as we haven't played the course for several months, it was a mistake. The tee boxes were weeds and dirt, fairways were thin and weedy, the greens were so bumpy from being just dirt and weeds, hardly any grass. This was a fun course before and earlier it looked like they were making it better, they must have run out of money and water for the grass.

great time with friends

we have played here many times, we enjoy the layout and some holes are just so mush fun!! Number 10 has to be played just right - be smart about your shots. The greens and tee boxes were not in the best shape, but summer is coming and the grass will grow in.

great fairways

Had a great time playing at Deer Island. The greens were very good, just the right speed, but the fairways were the best I have ever played!!! So much grass under the ball made it easy to hit the ball. Played many courses in the area, they have the best fairways.

great time playing

We had a great time playing, we had four and there was no one else on the course that we saw - don't know why? The fairways were fine, grass under the ball, tee boxes were level and fine, greens ran true even with all the goose grass. Without the weeds, the greens would be great, fun playing the roll and undulations. Easy to kiill goose grass - just some foramsulforan (revolver) with two applications. Sencore would do it too but more risky. I don't know why more people don't play this fun track, I will be back soon.

great time at Monarch

We had an 11:40 tee time and we went off with no one in front of us, we zoomed through in two and a half hours - there were two of us.. The greens were in good/great condition, fairways had lots of grass, so our game was very enjoyable. Will return to this fun track again!!!

fun course

Having played several times at Swiss Fairways, this time it was just as enjoyable. The greens were good (thanks to the former superintendent - Drew), fairways had lots of grass and tee boxes were good. The only problem was the pace of play, just a lot of golfers so it took about 5 hours.

Lots of fun

The greens were good, running true and quick enough for us. Fairways had grass, not bermuda but the ball was on grass! We were not rushed and the weather was prefect. Enjoy the course and the water skiers.

Great afternoon

The course was in great shape except 3 greens. The tee boxes were plush, lots of grass on the fairways and the greens were smooth and true, just the right speed for average players. The weather was great and not much wind. Only lost 3 balls so it was a super round!!

little bumpy

Have played the course before, layout is fun enough. They had just over-seeded, could see the seed but it had not germinated yet, the fairways were blocked but had a hard time t\determining where the fairway was to keep off it - to us it all looked like rough. There was grass and many weeds everywhere. Greens were slow and weedy.

great time with the bumpy greens

Greens were just punched but had been sanded and played good for what was done, slower than expected but we were all playing the same greens! Had some trouble with finding balls in the rough - but our fault, don't hit there!?! Lpts of good shots and too many bad, again we were just playing and enjoying ourselves.

enjoyed the outing

Have not played the course for about a year, had a great time, the pace of play was perfect, had to wait very little for the foursome in front of us, the threesome behind us kept us moving but not pushing.
The greens were fair, not super fast but nice to play. Fairways had plenty of grass (we have had rain recently which helps) and the tee boxes were good.
The course is close to us and we play many in the area, will play again soon.

surprised

I played this course about two years ago, but since then they have really improved the whole experience! Nice having a office to check you in and a cart girl to bring your cart. The best part was the condition of the greens - they were wonderful. Lots of grass and they rolled very nicely. They tee boxes were fine, some of the fairways were mostly dirt (on the back nine) but overall there was grass to hit off.
Will return for another fun round.
