First time playing here since early spring and the course is in rough shape. Dead spots on greens, beat up tee boxes, and mud traps instead of sand. It seems like maintenance took the summer off, even though greens fees are higher than they have ever been at this course.

This course has tee times spaced 7 minutes apart, which is ridiculous. Somehow they had double booked our tee time, then squeezed us in. By the second hole (a par three) there were four groups waiting on the tee box, and it didn't improve much through the afternoon. Several greens had bad spots, yet they chose to put the hole in the middle of these areas, which made putting accurately impossible. We teed off at 1:30 and played the last two holes in the dark. Never again.

The greens are incredibly fast, which takes some getting used to - you don’t want to be above the hole! Some really tight fairways, especially on the East course. I will definitely make adjustments when I play there again.

The “new “ Settlers Hill is not much different than the old one. Par 3’s we’re different (except #3) and a few other tee boxes moved, but pretty much the same layout as before for the rest of the holes. Fairways were okay, but greens were super slow. Huge amount of crabgrass everywhere..

Course reopened after two years and nothing done to improve. Bathrooms were locked up on the course and it was so wet it was almost unplayable. Every shot buried in the fairways and some disappeared and were lost. They never should have opened that day and it’s also overpriced - used to be $25, which is about right if and when it dries out.

Not an easy course to play for the first time, especially in windy conditions, but excellent bunkers, fast greens and beautiful tee boxes. Looking forward to playing here again with a better idea of where the trouble lies.

The greens were in very poor condition, especially for not having been played on for most of the spring. It seems like no maintenance was during during the quarantine and the cost was double what it normally was last summer. I may give it another try when things get back to "normal".

Not for the faint of heart, especially in windy conditions. The course demands accuracy and strategic play. Very fast greens and not many straight putts.
