Keith Hills Golf Club - White Course
Played On 03/16/2023Good course, painfully slow pace of play
This was truly a case of a good round ruined by absence of golf etiquette and no provision of a marshal by the course. You would think that a course on a college campus would have an abundance of help but not at Keith Hills. They only had one person to check you in, no starter, and no course marshals. We waited 15 minutes on every shot. There were at least 5 open holes in front of this glacially slow group. Five and a half hours to play on a Thursday that wasn’t particularly crowded is ridiculous. On the plus side, the course is an interesting layout.with plenty of elevation changes, good variety of long and short par fours, and tough par threes. I was just so frustrated by the pace of play that I couldn’t enjoy the lovely surroundings. They really need to provide some of their golf course management students to help in the pro shop, serve as starters, and maintain pace of play.

Played On 02/23/2023Beware the phantom tee time
I made a tee time on golf now as I always do. It was registered and a confirmation was sent to my email. So far so good. My time was 0648, which was the second time of the day. I paid my 65 dollars and the pro shop attendant gave no indication that there was any problem. I went to the first tee and that’s when I learned that I had no actual tee time. It was foursomes.for the foreseeable future. I went to the pro shop attendant and he was completely unconcerned. He suggested I “hang around “ and “something might open up “. I took the initiative and just skipped the first hole and started on two as a single. The course is well designed with lots of water hazards. It is in reasonably good condition. Greens are a bit slow. I played in 2 hours which was great. Had I not jumped to number two I might still be waiting. I would not risk making a golf now tee time in the future. Call them directly and get the name of whoever makes your tee time. Otherwise you may also end up with a phantom tee time.
Royal St. Cloud Golf Links - Red/White Course
Played On 02/21/2023Rocky start but good finish
My tee time was 0636 which unfortunately is 30 minutes before sun rise. That meant that our first 3 holes were played in the dark. Golf is hard enough in daylight but in darkness, forget about it. Once the sun was up it was a great day on a well conditioned course. The pro shop and starters were unfazed and uninterested in my complaints. The far too early tee times tarnished an otherwise good day.
Cedarbrook Country Club
Played On 01/16/2023Solid day of golf
This course always provides a good day of golf. Its condition is always good and the staff helpful and friendly. My only complaint was that the front nine took 2.5 hours to play, but on the back the groups that were holding us up let us play through and we finished in less than 4 hours anyway. A solid day of golf.
Salem Glen Country Club
Played On 12/28/2022Outstanding staff
The day we played there was a frost delay. The course contacted me to let me know that the tee time was 1.5 hours later than originally planned. I pointed out that would make finishing the round impossible. Initially they were like “ not my problem “ but when he heard that I was upset, he paired us with an earlier twosome and it worked out great. I’m sure they didn’t have to work with me but I’m sure glad they did. Course was in good winter condition and pace was okay considering that it was packed.

Played On 07/07/2015well conditioned gem
I can't say enough good things about this course. It is in really good shape. The sand traps are the only part in bad shape. The pace of play was quite slow as well, but it was a nice day and it wasn't a problem.
Oak Valley Golf Club
Played On 06/30/2015Winter kill?
I have played here several times but this is by far the worst condition I've ever seen it in. Many holes have been reduced to par 3's or short par 4's. It is nearly all cart path only which in June/July in the south is NOT GOOD. There is a notice posted at the clubhouse which says there was a "winter kill", but the attendant didn't bother to say anything about the terrible conditions, and you can't tell as you drive in because the first two holes look fine. Unfortunately they are the best holes on the course. The only good thing is that because it is in such bad shape, it isn't very crowded, you can play fast and get the heck out of there.
Oak Hollow Golf Course
Played On 06/24/2015excellent design in need of TLC
As noted by others, this course has an excellent routing around the lake. However, the fairways are patchy at best. The greens are in better shape but few people bother to fix their ball marks. I repaired 3-4 on each green and couldn't put a dent in their numbers. All in all though for the price this is an excellent value.
Tanglewood Golf Club - Championship Course
Played On 06/11/2014Still a classic
I very much enjoyed my round on the championship course. I played in the afternoon and as it was very hot the course was not crowded which made playing as a single fine. It is a heavily played public course but is still in good condition.
Warrior Golf Club
Played On 9/10/2013pleasant afternoon
The course is in average condition. Greens are coming back from aeration but are still bumpy. Just enough foursomes to make play slow for a single like me. Will play again when it cools down a bit.
Olde Beau Resort & Golf Club
Played On 8/20/2013good course but slow
The good news is the greens are pristine and the temperature is always cooler than down the mountain. The bad news is there are always several slow groups on the course. This is a difficult course with many blind shots so a good bit of delay is built in, but sometimes it can be painful.
Pinehurst Resort & Country Club - No. 9
Played On 2/28/2013Wonderful course which had just finished greens aerification.
This is a beautiful,unique and challenging golf course. My problem was that they had just plugged and top dressed the greens. This little piece of info should be provided to a prospective golfer before they pay for the tee time. I would definitely have waited 3-4 weeks before playing here.
