Obviously wet after significant rain, but greens were fantastic considering it is late March

Always a test and above average conditions. Only real complaint is cart path only during the week. Drainage is a little bit of an issue, but again pretty good shape. Make sure you play the right tees as the course plays tougher than the yardage implies.

Pricey for sure, but worth it here and there.

Played pound ridge multiple times over the years and make sure you show up committed to play golf. Played oak as 10 handicap and escaped with less than average golf with an 88. If putter wasn’t working it could of been low 90’s easily. Keep it in the middle, Hope to get a good lie/angle, and putt well is the recipe for success. Always in great shape which you pay for, but leave the expectations of scoring well at the range.

No complaints with layout and the piece of land is gorgeous. Lakes/meadows seems to be what they are offering these days which is a nice mix. Only real issues are tee boxes and fairways. Especially first to second cut to rough. You can hit great shots and show up to the ball with a very bad lie. Greens are great and roll nicely except for people not fixing their marks which has nothing do with management. Not sure troon wants to throw too much cash to this property, but if they did it could be special.

Not very challenging if you can keep the ball in play off the tee, but the greens are silly. Not so much that they are fast when putting, but even with high approach shots with lots of spin they don’t hold at all. I was hitting 15 yards short of the green by the end of the round with wedges which is just dumb. Basically hard as a rock. Also the bunkers have zero sand in them so you are basically playing off hard dirt. You also get penalized for hitting good shots. Balls run through fairways constantly even with very good shots. Just kind of gimmicky through and through. Better public options with sterling, great river, oak hills, etc.

Also, tons of maintenance going on as well. There was a 73 yard par 3 on the back.....

I would covert this in to condos. Place needs a complete makeover

Better condition than last time I played, but still need some help. Tee boxes are awful. Side hill lies with driver is uncalled for.

Also need to get the regulars to fix their diviots. Make it a priority. Must have fixed at least 5 fresh ball marks on each green and we played at 640am! Greens were in good shape besides the marks though.

I also can not stress enough that something needs to be done with 15. Really anything as the entire fairway is unplayable.

The layout is fun, but if they put some effort and dollars into this course it would be worth the 80+ Green’s fee.

Not sure what they are doing here, but the course continues to go the wrong way. I understand the land is basically in wetlands, but the grounds crew has let this course go. All tee boxes needed a mow, multiple lost spots on green, and countless unplayable spots on fairways. 11 and 15 are completely gone. It’s unfortunate as the layout is great, but they need to stop putting money into the range and fix this course asap.
