Good course, but would easily rate higher if there was a marshal on course to provide some guidance about basic golf etiquette. People need to fix ball marks on greens. They were in poor shape as a result. Plus, there was a foursome in front who thought they were all happy gilmore. Glad they were having a party, but it slowed the entire course down forcing people to skip holes to get past them. No marshal in sight the entire back nine. When I mentioned this when we finished at 5:00ish, was told by staff he had "just" gone home. Maybe he should have done his job before leaving:)

We had read that the course was improved -- and it is true. The greens are all new and in excellent shape. Most of the tee boxes were also in good shape. You can tell the owners/management are really putting in an effort to get this course in good shape. Nice layout, with lots of water. Sand traps could use a bit of work, but even those looked like they had been raked that morning. Pace of play was excellent - approx 3-1/2 hours. Overall a good day. Going back the next 2 days since the value was so good and the day was so enjoyable.

Played at 12:15 with my wife and followed a couple other 2-balls. Pace was excellent, finished in under 3-1/2 hours. However, I was very disappointed by course condition. There is a golf academy on-site with 4 courses and I expected better. The rack rate was $65 but got a deal through GolfNow at $25. Even $25 was a bit overpriced based on comparative courses elsewhere locally. Greens were sandy and had repairs throughout -- so often you had to putt across repairs or dead areas. The fairways were dry and very sparse grass, so often you were hitting off bare patches. Back nine was in better condition than front, so the day started out poorly. By end of third hole, I had lowered any expectations significantly. Pity the course has been allowed to deteriorate so badly, since the layout had great potential. Couple nice water holes. A bit tight in places with buildings, but not too intimidating.

Very disappointed by this course. Nice layout with lots of potential -- however, the condition of the course was sub-standard. Patchy dirt across many greens. Fairways were rock hard with little real grass making it virtually impossible to take anything resembling a divot. There were lots of sand traps, but they were hard packed dirt. Overall not very well maintained. Lastly the pace of play was agonizing. Every tee we arrived and the previous foursome was still waiting. Much better courses for the same money around. No deals here. Check around, you'll be glad you did.

Dropped into Tillsonburg while on vacation looking for a course that my wife and I could play together. Course was a bit shorter than usual, but played longer as there were a couple of very interesting holes that challenge even the most expert golfer due to unique layout and blind shots. Shot accuracy a must. The staff was very welcoming and even provided a booklet that explained hole by hole what you should be looking at for club selection/shots.

Had the opportunity to play after a heavy rain -- so needed to use cart paths. Course was wet, but drained fairly well. Crew was out fixing all the sand traps first thing which indicated how well the course is maintained. Very busy, but pace of play was excellent. Everyone moved along very well and we rarely had any wait. Sounded a bit intimidating because the course has hosted some pro/Am events and initially thought it might be hard (taking my wife and she is still learning the game). However, she enjoyed her day playing at the reds. Overall a great day. Glad we played.

Wife and I play while on vacation. Enjoyed the round and then played another 9 after lunch. Course was in good shape, condition of course was good. Staff was friendly -- older gentleman working in the restaurant was a real gem. Course good for longer hitter, but also worked well for my wife. We both found the course challenging yet fair and enjoyable. Great to play as a couple.

Played 2 times in 3 days as a result of a good GolfNow deal. Fairways were fairly wide and forgiving unless you were wild off the tee. Also dried out quickly after a heavy rain in the night. However greens were very tough with lots of undulations. Landing on the green even on a par 3 was no guarantee it would stick. 1 putts were the exception and often our foursome needed 3 putts. Probably added 10 strokes to our games.

Wanted to take my wife to a course that wasn't high pressure and where we could golf as a twosome. Jason in pro shop was very helpful and very friendly -- indicated that a twosome was fine. Booked tee time online and got the best rate. However, when we went to tee-off the starter pushed the next twosome together with our 2 and indicated that things were backing up -- which was utter nonsense. When we finished the first hole, no one was even on the starting tee -- so we split into twosomes again. Never saw a golfer behind us until the 9th hole when things were back up ahead of us causing us all to slow down. We waited for people ahead the entire back nine, but never had anyone pushing us from behind. Not sure why the starter forced us to join together. Other than that, it was a nice afternoon -- finished in just under 4-1/2 hours. Greens were in good condition with some nice undulation so the putts were all a bit challenging without being ridiculous. Great value for money.
