The greens rolled smoothly and were fast. Lots of slope and angulation making the fairly easy course slightly challenging.

This day I had a tee time along with 3 strangers who were playing with a GolfNow greens fee like myself. I approached the starter and gave him my tee time and went off to putt near the 1st tee. There were other golfers at the 1st tee getting ready to begin play. Apparently, a single was paired up to play with my 3 players! He allowed the single to fall back to my tee time and didn't tell me what was going on. I had already asked the starter if my other 3 players were here and he said "No, I don't know where they are." The 4 players teed off and I was stuck alone, with 2 other foursomes coming up next. Geez!! I played alone and caught up to my "group," playing a fivesome for a few holes. Mind you I had to wait behind them for 6 holes. Unbelievable! The starter botched starting my foursome. If he had some intelligence he would have had 2 of us start, then 3 go off, splitting our group. Coincidentally, I separated our group and ended up playing the back 9 with that single. That old starter made the round of golf frustrating.

I enjoyed the course immensely. Some short holes and very wide fairways. Greens can be slow when you're left with long uphill putts. You may 3 putt more often than usual. Greens are large so putting the ball on the proper side of the green is paramount. I hit it long since the fairways were running. Big issue was the bare spots around the greens, especially right up in front on short approaches. Mishit sand wedges cost me a cpuple of shots due to bare lies. I think it may be due to too much cart traffic greenside, or lack of water. Nice track though. I really enjoyed playing here.

I had a tee time for a single and when I came up to the counter to tell the staff member my GolfNow tee time he was kind of lost and confused. The club sent me an email confirming my time but the man kept saying I was another man. He was saying I was in the "such and such" group. I said OK. He looked at my printout and couldn't believe the great deal I got. He said that they won't be doing that anymore. They don't make any money on this deal. So what! I ended up playing alone and he said that I don't have to get paired up. I may or may not play w/other golfers.?? After being confused, I teed off alone. It was a good course. Long from the back tees, good soft greens. Wide open with trouble on a few holes, and length causing the main problem. I guess it was just too wet on the very tight fairways, as it played long. I was hitting from 200 yds out several times on Par 4s.

I played it for the first time and found it in great shape. The bunkers were a bit wet due to recent rain, but they were immaculate looking and played well. The difficulty is a good mix. Deep rough if wayward, good greens, nice fairways. It played a good distance from the back tees, with short holes medium length, and long holes, especially a par 3 that played really long with the cloudy, damp conditions. I was 20 yards shy of the green from the back tees w/a decent 3 wood. Overall, a fun course.

It was very crowded here on a Thursday afternoon. I was surprised. A 5 hour round, including a 2:45 minute front 9. Course was in great shape. Tight in spots. There are quite a few short Par 4s out there to be had if you can hit a good wedge in. Overall, greens were rolling quickly and the fairways were in good shape. It was just a slow pace.

The course is being worked on so one hole (#16) was closed off. Otherwise, the course was in great shape considering the dry hot weather we have had for 6 weeks. The fairways and greens were really nice, and the tees were good, although a bit uneven due to the small areas on some holes. Tight beautiful lush fairways and nice, though grainy, greens. the experience was great.

The course had a lot of springs that ran through the course coming from the neighborhoods. lots of recent rains meant that casual water was everywhere. Problems were springs over cart paths, running through fairways, and thick tall weeds were all throughout the fairways. greens were pretty good and held well, but until mowers get on the course, it's best to wait a month to head out there. And that is excluding the fact that more rain is coming.

The course was overgrown and all weeds. The greens were full of weeds and hard as a rock. They didn't hold at all.
Everyone was busy looking for balls all over the course and spent several minutes in the fairways looking for balls in weeds. Awful. the maintenance crew can't keep up with all of the mowing that needs to be done. Worse, the crew was mowing with golf carts pulling the blades! Nothing but old golfers and new players present because the good golfers stay away from courses like this.

What a nice course. The guys I played with played the men's tees, so it was short. The back tees would have been a great test. The course has wonderful smooth fast greens that hold nicely. Fairways were nice as well. Short par 5s. I made eagle - birdie on the 2 par 5s on the back, with a 9 iron to the last, a 474 yd par 5 playing downwind. But it took our grp. 4 1/2 hrs to finish. And that includes the guys putting fast and out of turn!

Great course. It had some very tough par 3s. Short par 5s though so they offset. There was a lot of water out there. One picturesque hole along the big lake. The greens rolled smoothly but were dormant, so they were quick.

The course was flat and very bare. The fairways were non-existent, dried up and very bumpy. I had no grass on most lies. It was still muddy from rain a week prior. That indicates that there's no grass on the course. Chip shots ran and ran on the dormant greens. They ran really quickly too because of the slopes on the surfaces. Almost unfair putting on about a third of the greens. Overall it was enjoyable, yet frustrating at times due to no shot from the sides of the greens.

Very slow play with a lot of older slower golfers. We had to wait on every tee box up to 5-6 minutes. Still, the course was easy and it played in 4 hours. The greens are painted green and rolled almost like a sidewalk with matted down grass; and they were spiked up pretty good too. Overall, it was fun and an easy track.

It was a windswept day at Alsatian. A very short course and it was dry, so we got lots of rollout. The greens looked spotty but actually were full, smooth, and were a decent speed. There's no rough really at all. Tight in some places, but with few difficulties overall.
