The course played well. Of course there were some wet areas that were cart path only, but that is to be expected at this time of year - dormant trees and recent precipitation. Greens were in very good shape, held well when attacking. Overall had a great time and will play again when everything greens back up.

Booked the course as we have not played it since just after Covid restrictions happened in early 2020. The course was decent given that it had dry out from the recent snow and ice. Fairways had a good number of "wet" areas that had to be negotiated, greens were in great shape. It has some good challenges with greens, and a fun finishing hole that is a par four that if you hit the tee short, you have a long approach over a lot of water to a peninsula green.

My fourth or fifth time at Ayden. As this was a winter visit, I expected the fairways to be soft not firm as we have had some rain of late. The course proved to be in excellent shape, the greens firm and fast (challenging your reading skills), the bunkers have real sand (not winter mud), and the fairways - fully playable, the ball getting a good roll on the drives. We played from the "Green" tees - a mix of your standard white (members) and gold (senior) for about 5,800 yds. This course is one of my local faves that I love to visit from time to time.

Third time playing this year and this most recent round was the best year to date. The recent repairs to 11 are complete and the hole plays well.

The greens are fast but do have bare places. The fairways are in excellent shape with excellent roll out. I typically play this course about 10 times a year, so I get to see its year-round face. Would recommend it for a good day of golf. The water views are okay - not outstanding. Holes are somewhat predictable - but fun to play.

The staff is always courteous and outgoing. Will be back to play again soon as our men’s group does a monthly 9 hole super ball round.
