Membership has its privileges.

Played here a few years ago and was totally satisfied with my experience as I was this time. Only reason for the review is to prepare others who truly enjoy a walking experience and/or its exercise benefits that walking this course is a MEMBERS-ONLY-PRIVILEGE. Don’t even offer to pay the full cart fee to tote your bag…they will say NO. Will add that those I saw walking this course and exercising their privileges did very little to increase the pace of play, thus the 2-Star rating above.

Maybe If I Played Better

Hard-no-VERY hard working and friendly staff. Course just felt like it needed more work, especially for the $100 or so price. Carts worn. Foam showing on seats. Greens inconsistent and holes have been in the same place for a while. Most disappointed by slow pace not addressed by Ranger staff. Waited on every shot behind a foursome all day. Advertised time of 4:00 for round—took 5 hours. Appreciate the complimentary water bottles.

What Really Matters

As a reader of reviews, you probably first want to know about the condition of the course. This place is in first rate condition and gets 5 stars., as do the amenities including an incredible newly-opened bar and restaurant space. Then you want to know about the value. The best value is a Hot Deal because you’ll feel like you paid too much with what also matters, i.e. the pace play, which was horrid. Can’t say that the Ranger was non-existent because he passed through twice but made no effort to speed up the slow play ahead. Our group waited on every tee and every fairway all day long. Almost entitled this review “Great Place With the Wrong Staff” but that would have been unfair to some dedicated person. Though it may not matter to you, my experience from Bag Drop to Pro Shop to Starter made me feel unwelcome because I wasn’t conforming to some mysterious protocol and making myself an inconvenience to the very people put in place to serve.

Keep an eye on your ball and hustle.

Rough us up and clover in full bloom. Lost a couple of balls that rolled from fairway into rough and took all of the allotted time in our group to find some balls hidden just off the fairway. If you are in front of a group playing forward tees, they are playing a course that could be 2000 yards shorter than you so be aware how quickly they can come up behind and complain to the staff about how slow you are. This week #16, a par 3, played 180 yds from the Championship tee and 50, yes 50 yds from the most forward tee.

Melreese Rocks

Saved $60 on a weekend round through Golf Now. Don't let the price tag concern you--this course is extreme value for the money! Excellent practice facility with mats at one end and grass at the other. Realistic greens with pins on the range. Course is pretty straightforward and excellently maintained. Greens on the fast side for average player but fair. Speed of play was great this day in part because the carts are some of the fastest out there! Just an overall enjoyable experience and looking forward to playing there again..
