I play Maywood a half a dozen times a year probably. Early in the Spring, course conditions were not up to the usual standards of Maywood. it is my understanding a new superintendent has been hired and you can tell a huge difference, the greens in particular which were very, very good. NICE JOB!

I usually play here 6 to 12 times a year. the course never disappoints. The course was fast and very firm. keep the ball in the fairway and below the hole. 18 really good holes make it the best daily fee course in the area. awesome.

I have played Maywood dozens of times and always enjoyed it. However, this time i was extremely disappointed. Because of a golfnow error the course was over-booked. That wasn't the issue. That course management made very little effort to correct the situation was the concern. twosomes were in the parking lot trying to catch groups coming off the course to get a cart. We finally teed off about 20 minutes late and frustrated because of the confusion.

Course conditions were not up to par. The Bermuda fairways were still coming in, but, there were far too many pure dirt lies in the fairway. also, the course was covered in weeds both in and out of the fairway. Simply unacceptable for a course of this caliber.

i have played this course a number of times over the years. as i understand it, the course had undergone significant renovations and i wanted to try it out.

the most significant changes were to the greens and green complexes. it appeared they had been completely redone. overall, i think the changes, over time, will be great. when i played; however, the greens, being new, were very inconsistent. full approach shots released long and chips and pitches stopped on a dime. the surfaces were super soft on the top layer of soil and hard underneath which produced many unexpected results.

The layout was high quality "old school" with lots of mature hardwood trees requiring good shot making and Donald Ross type greens that "spit" your ball off if hit in the wrong location. i was pleasantly surprised at the quality and value.

I was, however, not thrilled with the service. i had driven about 50 miles to play this course for the first time. The owner met me with a sneer and was very unpleasant when he found out i booked on golfnow. he felt i wasn't supporting my local course. well, it wasn't my local course.

the course is on the shorter side of things at 6700 yards... but, it requires good shot making off the tee and into greens, some of which are very severe. the course is well maintained and i always look forward to my rounds there.

the course has an interesting mix of holes and terrain; some wooded and some links-like. the greens and bunkers are are excellent and well maintained. i will play here again.

a fair value. a decent course with a few maintenence issues. however, more attention was given to the building of the subdivision around the golf course than the golf course itself. the clubhouse was also in need of some obvious repairs and upkeep.

this is a solid challenge from the back tees. there are a number of blind shots which lessens the first time experience. playing the course a few times will help you be more decisive on shot and club selection.
