Excellent track and good conditions but beware of first cut in the fairways. The course is a good layout is well-maintained the only complaint is you can lose a ball 3 feet off of the fairway in the first cut. Typically the pace is good here but on this occasion stuck behind a very slow foursome who wouldn’t let me play through even though I was a single. One of my favorites in the area along with Spruce Creek and the LPGA courses (honorable mention to Victoria Hills who has a great layout but has struggled maintaining the course but it is getting better).

Only the second time playing this course but I will be playing a lot more in the future. It’s an interesting and fair track; moderate difficulty. You can score well if you’re hitting the ball straight but you can also take some big numbers if you’re not. Course was in excellent shape greens had been punched a couple weeks ago so a little bit rough and slow but overall still better than many other courses.

Golfed for the first time at Timber Creek last year; really enjoy it. It’s well-maintained but it’s like playing two different courses. The first nine is wide open fairways with a little bit of water on some holes and second nine no water but more trees. Staff is friendly; greens are relatively fast. Pace of play is sometimes an issue; 4 hours 45 minutes today. Good practice facilities. All in all highly recommend this course.

I’ve played Woodcreek a couple times a year for the last few years and this was the best condition the course was in. Fairways, Tee Boxes, Greens all in good condition. New sand in the sand traps also although they need to rake these at the start of every day. Pace was very good. Course is a good layout.

I’ve played Mather golf course quite a few times over the years and this might be the best condition it’s ever been. Fairways, Tee boxes, the first cut, the greens, everything was in good condition. Also impressed that they’re installing drainage in many of the fairways. Looks like they’re maintaining the course better than years past. Not known to drain well this was a course you avoided during the winter hopefully these new drainage systems will change that.

This is a relatively easy course even when playing from the Blues which is 6400 yards. Mostly wide fairways and the ball rolls out well. One pet peeve is the difference between the white and blue tees on some holes are ridiculously long; for example from the blues it might be 417 yards from the whites it’s 325. Looks like they were adding some new T-blocks so maybe this will change in the future. Lastly pace of play today was slow; behind some matches of high school kids? Typically pace of play isn’t bad so this was an outlier.

I went out as a single and got lucky that it wasn’t very busy and the groups ahead of me we’re going pretty quickly - finished my round in about three hours. The course is moderately easy although it can be tough when it’s windy. Not the most interesting course in the world but a good place to work on your swing with wide fairways. The staff is very friendly and you can get reasonable deals in the afternoon. Practice balls are inexpensive too.

The LPGA Jones course is a very good track and is typically meticulously maintained. It’s a moderately tough track but easier than the LPGA hills course. Only caveat is it does not drain as well is other golf courses in the area. There was significant rain the day before which impacted play since there was standing water in several locations and in many bunkers. It was cartpath only. Highly recommend this course unless there’s been recent rain then I would play Victoria Hills or other courses that drain exceedingly well.

It was a very windy day which made it more challenging than normal but the course was in good condition. Greens were in great shape but very slow. Group in front of us seem to be really slow but we still finished in four hours and 20 minutes. Has some interesting short par fours that are severe dog legs left or right. There is some water that comes in the play on the course. A few holes with narrow fairways. A fair and moderately challenging course.

Fairways and bunkers are not in great shape on some holes but this is still an interesting course. The greens were in great condition rolling albeit a bit slower than some other courses and the conditions around the greens were also very nice but some of the fairways had quite a few bare spots. The course itself is moderately hard depending on which Teebox but it is an interesting track with a variety of different types of holes. Staff is friendly good practice facilities still worth playing if you don’t overpay.

I like this course but the pace of play today was 5+ hours. Have golfed here quite a few times but don’t remember it being this slow. Course was a little bit wet but otherwise in decent shape. Course is relatively easy but still has some interesting holes. Staff is always extremely friendly and the starter is very helpful. Recommend this course but occasionally the pace of play is an issue.

The Ridge is a very good layout and challenging course. Well-maintained but a bit wet from rains the previous week. Staff is always friendly newer golf carts and good pace of play made for an enjoyable day.

I always like playing the LPGA Jones course. An interesting track thats always in very good condition and it is easier than the Hills Course although it is not an easy course but it is fair.

Took about four hours and 15 minutes which wasn’t bad considering how crowded it was in front of us. Only issue is one of the bunkers on the first hole is full of water ended up losing a ball since I didn’t want to get wet retrieving it. Rest of the course other than a couple of bunkers is in very good shape. Regardless of a couple of bunkers would still highly recommend this course. Lastly for those who haven’t played there they have great practice facilities also.

First time playing this course. I was paired up with a couple who was familiar with course which was helpful. Pace was excellent, staff (especially starter) were friendly and helpful. Course is not tough although I had a sub par round anyway. There is water hazards on several holes. Greens rolled true and fast. Excellent value.

Nice public course but always seems to struggle to have enough carts available. Have played this twice in the last month and each time didn’t have a cart available until tee time. This is an interesting course - par fives are very short but not easy with forced carries and doglegs. Greens are in pretty good condition - sand traps aren’t bad. Very friendly staff. Worth playing if < $35

I’ve played Turkey Creek about a half a dozen times and it’s always an enjoyable place to play. Moderately tough track; have to being your game. Overall course was in very good shape greens were excellent. Only issue was it was very crowded and it took almost 5 hours to finish the round. Apparently Thursdays are one of their busy days. Regardless of the pace still highly recommend playing this course.

First time playing this course in more than a decade. Everyone was very friendly; had to wait for a cart until just before the tee time but not a big issue. Played from the blue tees which is a bit longer than we usually play (about 6,200 yards preferred) but may be somewhat easier from the tee since white tees bring hazards into play for longer hitters. Some forced carries and blind shots but overall not a very hard course if you keep it in the fairway (true for every course I suppose). Course in good condition and get good rollout in fairways; fairways are OK with a few bare spots or crap grass but greens were in good condition and rolled well. Would play again.

I’ve played Apple Mountain quite a few times over the years but first time this year; the course was in very good shape. Greens were in great condition - a little bit slower than in the past which was a good thing. Like always staying in the fairway is paramount. Almost every hole has trouble; a tough course but can score well if you don’t lose many balls (that can be a big if). Gorgeous trees and scenery. Worth the drive.

First time I played Spruce Creek; it is a very good course in excellent condition. A bit challenging with some narrow fairways and water but a very fair course. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Staff was friendly; pace of play excellent. Lots of water, even an ice machine, on the course.
