Interesting layout. Challenging greens. Nice range. Friendly staff.
Holes very spread out, so walking not practical.
Would definitely play again.

Good experience.

Course in pretty nice condition. Very short, but enough challenge to keep it interesting. Greens a bit on the slow side, but puttable.

Very good experience.

Enjoyed my round at the Hill course at LPGA International. Have been playing since the 1980's and got my first ever hole in one on the par 3 7th hole! 187 yards, uphill, into the wind, 3h. Unbelievable.

Course design is very good. Condition of course is good, but could be considerably better. Range is good, but was crowded and the tee area was pretty sparse with grass and needed to be moved. Greens were good and quick and rolled true.

Definitely a good value

Very much enjoyed the round. Nice layout, good mounding. Greens were hard and you'd hear a thump when ball hit, but they held approaches nicely. Greens rolled true. Nice and quick.

Beautiful range hitting into a big pond with island green targets with unlimited complimentary range balls. Nice big putting green and chipping area.

Lots of tee choices. Tips would challenge even the most advanced golfers. Clubhouse is in a temporary trailer while the new one is under construction, and it looks like it's about done. Carts are set up with a simple but very effective GPS screen.

Lots of new home construction around the course. This will be a nice community.

Highly recommend.

Good experience.

A nice combination of room off the tee and interesting enough around the greens to make you pay attention. Lots of tee choices. Tips out to around 6500 yards. Not particularly difficult. Fairways decent, rough sparse, tees okay, greens average condition but roll pretty true and hold approaches well.

Nice layout, not a lot of living grass on fairways and tees.

Enjoyed the round. Had the course almost all to ourselves. Great design. Biggest negative is lack of overseeding. Expected the brown rough, but tees and fairways had very little green grass that wasn't spray painted. Made for skinny lies anf a few fat shots.

Greens were fast, held approaches reasonably and rolled pretty good. Range was adequate, but no green grass to be found anywhere.

Big alligator on the first part 3 pond was neat. :)

Will play again sometime.

Great layout but conditioning nowhere near what it used to be.

The views and course design are A+. The condition of the course used to match that A+ back a few years ago, but it's gone downhill significantly. They've let poa anna grass creep into many of the greens, and it's nearly taken over the practice putting green completely.

The tee boxes used to be like carpet. They're in very poor shape now. The practice range teeing area used to be fantastic, like carpet, and rotated frequently. Now it looks much worse than the poor tee boxes on the course, with little grass.

Overall it's worth playing, but for what they're charging it's nowhere near the value it used to be back when Harris Golf ran the course.

Great design, poor maintenance.

Enjoyed the round. Course is very well designed and very playable, being not particularly long. Played the blues and it played considerably shorter than the scorecard yardage.

Fun to play.

Maintenance.... 14 of the holes didn't have tee markers set up - just laying on the side of the tee, so we just teed up adjacent to them. New holes were cut ahead of us, but the guy doing it did a rough job. Most of them were not straight, but leaning, some of them considerably so - and lots of the edges were gouged. I'd get rid of that dude.

The tee boxes were in atrocious condition. Very little grass, and so concrete hard that it was very difficult getting a tee into the ground. Was a running joke throughout the round about needing a power drill to pre-drill a hole for the tee.. Fairways were very poor. Greens were in good shape, despite the dozens of ball marks that folks can't be bothered to fix.

Overall - I'd definitely play there again. So much potential. Just needs more TLC to be a great track.

Thank you for playing and thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the layout. The course has been under water restriction for several weeks due to a lack of water and thus is very dry. Thankfully we received some much needed rain recently and things should bounce back quickly. Other comments have been noted and will be addressed. Thank you again and have a great day!

Very nice design. Tees have very little grass. Fairways in rough shape in most areas. Greens pretty nice, but ball marks galore.

Overall I'd play there again, but would hope it was in a bit better shape.

Nice round of golf...

Had a nice round at Maplewood. The covid19 restrictions were oddly over the top compared to other courses - i.e. can't go inside or use the bathroom without a mask on, must take out even unused scorecards, pencils out of the cart at the end, not allowed to touch the flagstick, rake any traps or touch anything else. Was just uncomfortably odd, but course in pretty nice shape.

Fun round at a nicely maintained course. It's very short and greens are kept quite slow on purpose so they don't burn out. Overall fun time and will be back. :)

Enjoyable round...

Course is in pretty good shape. Good mix of some challenging holes and some very easy holes. Have to stay below the hole on the more severely sloped greens to keep from having a lightning fast putt.

Nice course...

Great design. Very good condition. Really nice collection of holes of various difficulty. Lots of evidence they're working to improve the few areas on course in tough condition.

Not a big fan of a 5 hour round of golf but other than slow group in front of us and no Marshall around to keep things moving along it was a great experience.

Decent driving range. Nice putting green.

Course in unusually good shape...

It's been a couple of years since I've played Waukewan and it's in remarkably good shape currently. Greens putting quite good and rest of course is in great shape also. An interesting collection of holes. The majority are quite straightforward and easy, but there are some challenging holes as you get near the end of the round.

Recommend giving it a shot.

Enjoyable round...

The course was in pretty good shape. Greens rolled pretty well. but could use a rolling to make them run a bit truer. Major outbreak of japanese beetles on the greens. Hundreds of them. DIdn't see any of the yellow beetle traps anywhere.

Pace of play was good. Recommend.

Interesting course...

Interesting golf course. The beginning of the course has short holes very close together in a sort of convoluted routing. Then you get out back and it turns into a much better, more difficult, interesting course. It's worth playing if you're in the area, but lower expectations a bit. The after 3pm deal for $25 each including cart is reasonable. Rack rates not so much, for what you're playing.

Very nice round at North Conway. Course in very good early season shape, with lots of work going on to make it even better. Course has lots of character. Challenging, but very playable if you pick the right tees.
A+ practice facility. Staff very nice and helpful.
