Wild Laurel Golf Course
Played On 06/27/20216 Par 3's Worth the drive
First time playing this course, an interesting layout with 6 par 3's. It was raining when I started and the course was fairly wet, the rain stopped after the 4th hole and it was good weather the rest of the round. Fun course to play, as the mix of holes, offers great variety Elevation changes will test your iron game. Greens are receptive, with good speed, some have a lot of slopes making two putts very challenging. Wildlife is visible everywhere on the course, as we saw 2 different groups of wild turkeys, along with rabbits, squirrels, and a lot of birds. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Will definitely play this one again next time I'm in the area.
Glen Oaks Golf Club
Played On 11/08/2020Glen Oaks is a fun course to play
Glen Oaks is a fun course to play, a good mix of holes with a number of elevation changes. The greens are usually very good here, they were a little slow this round but will hold approach shots very well. Unfortunately, they let 5 somes on the course on weekends and this really slows down the pace of play. Will hopefully be better next time we play.
Witch Golf Club
Played On 09/02/2020Good Layout and Greens
The Witch is a good layout with a mix of holes that dogleg both right and left. The sightlines are tough on a few holes but playable. The greens are good, will hold a solid approach and speed was manageable. There are subtle breaks in many of the greens that made making putts a challenge. Heard this course was going to be turned into a housing development. That would be a shame as this is a good track worthy of keeping open.
Branson Hills Golf Club
Played On 07/14/2020Best course in Branson
This is the best course I've played in Branson., Excellent course layout that is in outstanding condition. The greens are receptive, very smooth, and have manageable speed. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Rates are high, but this is a quality course. I will definitely play this one again.
The Pointe Golf Course
Played On 07/12/2020The Pointe is Challenging and Fun
The Pointe is a challenging course with a good mix of holes uphill, downhill, l2r, and r2l. Greens were in very good condition, rolling nicely and at a good speed. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The pace of play was good, even with the 90 plus degree heat. Got a nice discounted rate as well.
River Oaks Golf Club
Played On 06/07/2020Hot weather, slow play and fuzzy greens
Pace of play was very slow, course was packed. Greens were very fuzzy, they putted OK, but balls didn't react like they normally do when approaching the greens, especially on pitch shots around the greens. They were not cutting the greens down due to the heat. The heat was nearly unbearable, 91 degrees and very humid.
Tanglewood Golf Club - Reynolds Course
Played On 05/17/2020Reynolds Course is Fun and Challenging
Course was very busy and backed up when we teed off. Wind was up which made for some tough approaches. Greens were in very good condition, rolling fast and smooth. Definitely recommend playing this track, good rates and good course.
Lexington Golf Club
Played On 05/16/2020Challenging Fun Course
Lexington is a fun course that is very hilly and provides a multitude of challenges to scoring well. It is not a long course, but will test your skills through the bag. The greens are good with decent speed, many have some severe sloping. Rate is good and this a definite must play.
Cedar Rock Country Club
Played On 05/23/2020Excellent layout with very good Greens
First time playing CRCC, nice layout with really good bent grass greens. Unfortunately the course was nearly under water from all of the recent rain. Will definitely play this one again when its drier, pace of play was slow, just as I had seen in other reviews.
Tradition Golf Club
Played On 10/05/2019Challenging Course with strong winds
Played this course on Sat 10/5, it was very windy, gusting to 20mph. The course seemed to be set up hard, as the tees were back and several pins were tucked. A majority of holes seemed to be playing into the very strong gusting wind, making approach shots very difficult. Par 3's were strong playing between 170-200 yds against the winds. Would like to play again with less wind as the overall course layout was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The Crossings At Carlsbad
Played On 08/20/2019Challenging Course with large undulating greens
Played twilight round, gusting winds (10-20mph) made play very challenging. You must hit the correct green level or 3 putts are almost certain. Conditions were very good, green speeds fast. Will definitely play again.
Twin Oaks Golf Course
Played On 08/18/2019Good Layout, good greens
Twin oaks is a good layout with both short and tight holes and long challenging holes. Greens are very good for a lower-cost course. Greens had good speed and would hold a solidly struck iron shot. Fairways on some holes were in very rough shape, but it didn't impact my play. Several areas of the course were also very wet and soggy, again didn't really impact play that much. For $30 twilight rate the course is very good, would definitely play again.
The Omni Grove Park Inn
Played On 09/27/2018Ross course stands the test of time
Played late afternoon (4 pm TT) on a day when it was very wet and raining. Nearly every shot plugged or at least had to be cleaned for the next shot. Course is true Donald Ross design, not long but difficult in the right spots. Greens being very wet would hold shots, making for good approach control with irons. I really enjoyed playing this course, even though I had 7-8 holes where the rain was pouring down, I got soaked but it was worth it. Sun came out on 13th hole and the last few were pleasant.
Ko'olau Golf Club
Played On 07/15/2018Strong Layout with Challenging Holes
Ko'olau is a very challenging golf course. You must be striking the ball well to score here. Greens are good with consistent speeds, a few had some rough spots but it didn't effect play that much. Course was very wet and sloppy in places, cleaned mud off ball nearly every shot. Pace of play was very slow, had a local Sunday morning group with 6 plus groups in front of me and they were struggling. A number of holes are target style, so you must know your carry distances. Would like rate to be a little lower, but would definitely play again.
Island Pointe Golf Club
Played On 09/17/2017Greens are difficult, rough is up
First time playing this course in nearly 10 years. Good layout with challenging holes. Greens were hard to make putts on, green speed was good, but breaks were subtle. Rough was gnarly and long in places. Bunkers were not good. Pace of play was good.
Patriot Hills Golf Club
Played On 09/15/2017Patriot Hills is a solid track
PH starts with excellent interaction with pro shop staff. Very good rates to play. The course is a good layout with a mix of holes to challenge your ball striking. Greens were rolling very quick, it was easy to knock 20 footers 5-6 feet by without trying. Would definitely play again.
Wytheville Golf Course
Played On 09/02/2017Good layout, challenging greens
Course layout is good, not a long course, but elevation changes and greens make up for lack of length. Greens are challenging to putt as numerous breaks and mounds in some greens mean you must get ball on correct level to have good birdie looks.
Crown Park Golf Course
Played On 08/16/2017Solid layout, extremely wet
Course was nearly under water from previous nights rain fall, fairways had not been mown, leading to sloppy and some flyer lies from fairway. Greens were good, slightly slow, but rolled good. Good mix of holes to test your shot making.
Prestwick Country Club
Played On 08/15/2017Very challenging course, large greens
This is a very challenging course, your must pick correct tees or you will have a long tough day. Layout will take you through your bag with most all of your clubs, several par 4's over 400 yards from the white tees! Rough is penal in many areas around course, driving it in the fairways will serve you well. Pace of play was very good, less than 4 hours.
Warrior Golf Club
Played On 07/02/2017Course Quality Declining
Course quality is declining, greens were good as usual, but overall course tee to green is slipping. My knock on this course for years has been the rate they charge for this course, even at 5pm I paid 29 dollars. Rack rate runs 55-59 on weekends! I like the course layout and usually enjoy playing here, but the negatives are starting to out weigh the positives.
Course conditions have improved considerably since my last review in 2017. Greens have been changed over to a more drought tolerant grass. Rates are still high compared to other similar courses n the area. Pace of play has be a little slower lately, but still enjoy playing this course whenever possible.
gomarkt, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Wild Laurel Golf Course.
