Been a while, I'll be back

I used to play at Mainland frequently 15-20 years ago but havent been there much since. We found a HotDeal and grabbed it, The course was in good shape with a one noted exception. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all is pretty decent shape for a public course that gets a lot of play. The one notable exception were the bunkers, a couple had too much sand in them, a few had a thin layer and some had no sand at all. If all the bunkers were the same, I can deal with it, you have an idea of what to expect [bounce/no bounce] but when they lack consistency, it is just guessing how to handle the shot.

I will go back, hope they can make some progress on the bunkers before I do

Good conditions, very good pace of play

I was surprised at the pace of play, it was good. We were a walking twosome and had no one on our back and were only delayed slightly by the foursome in front of us.

The tee boxes were generally hard as a rock, the fairways and rough were in very good conditions and the greens were soft which meant they held approach shots but wer e very slow to putt on. There are some wet spots around the course but all in all a good day, really terrific staff there, very friendly and helpful.

Love this course but...

I live an hour away but dont mind the drive to play Berkliegh. The course conditions were very good with the exception of the greens still recovering from aeration but that isnt the fault of the course.

Here is my critical feedback -

The bunkers lack consistency. One is fluffy and the next is concrete, they should not vary as much as they do.

Pace of play can be really frustrating and having a marshall on the course would help dramatically. There is a sign in the cart that says if the hole in front of you is open you have to speed up play or skip a hole. That is not unique to just this course, that is etiquette everywhere but it is rare that we are not held up repeatedly waiting for golfers with no one in front of them and are not offered to play through. I have played here for at least the last 10 years and have never seen a marshall on the course. Especially needed on a weekend, help us out please!

We were a high handicap foursome behind a threesome and simply should not have had to wait on 90% of our shots, if they could make a dent in the pace of play this would go to a 4.5 star rating

Great condition s but slow pace of play

I liked the course, very friendly staff. But there were some groups that should be relegated to starter executive 9 hole courses. Slow play, short shots and no Marshall to educate folks to pick up after their 8th shot and you're still 150 yards from the green. Too bad, the course is very well kept. Greens are in excellent shape.

Love this course

I love playing here. I enjoy it enough that despite what can be a slow round I tolerate it. This day was all the great golf in 3 hours 40 mins. Much more enjoyable. Despite the challenges the weather's created for the staff, they kept the course in excellent condition. I do wish I could catch players who don't fix ball marks or divots though. Honestly, that is about all that was wrong, each of us agreed beforehand to fix 3 per hole, so the group behind us benefitted. Can't wait to get back. I live over an hour away but still make it here 5-6 times a year. The new owners really doing a great job.

Great course but..

I love this course but the lack of attention. To the slow pace of play can be infuriating. I've played here 3 times in the last month as part of a foursome of mid handicap players. I think we've had to wait on literally every shot except putts. This past weekend we had 6 groups on one hole (4 waiting at the tee). I have NEVER seem a Marshall on the course, as much as I love playing here, I'm ready to give up because I see no attempt to change this. I have mentioned it in the shop and they're very nice and apologize for the inconvenience, there is nothing done to change.

Good course

The conditions on this course were really good the staff there is terrific. My only complaint is that nearly Everytime I play here the are some very slow and uneducated groups on the course. Note to management, ease put Marshalls on the course to speed play. We asked to play through when three holes were open in front of the group we were behind, we were ignored and just skipped the hole. We played played the last 6 Holes in the time they took to play 3. Both foursomes. They had groups stacked up behind them all day

Good course but they need marshals on the course

Fox Hollow has done a good job of maintaining and improving the course, I enjoy playing (most of the time) but here is my feedback to the owners -

Your staff is awesome, each and everyone of them is friendly and welcoming.

Bunkers - more sand please, under what looks like a soft lie is hardpan under less than an inch of new sand.

Marshals - please put them on the course - while most of the players we encounter are polite and friendly, there are folks out there nearly every time that are extremely slow, will not allow us to play through (despite that fact that there is an open hole in front of them and simply don't understand basic etiquette. A marshal would make all the difference.

Course is in the best condition in years

I have played Fox Hollow 1 or 2 times a year for the past 8 or 9 years. I have always enjoyed much of the experience but traditionally, damp ground and roughed up greens have been part of it. Yesterday the fairways and greens were in the best condition I've ever seen them. I play a lot of public courses in the area and unthoughtful golfers who refuse to repair balls marks and replace divots are always something that gets my Irish up but yesterday the greens were as close to perfect as you'll ever find a public course. Whether that is because of considerate golfers or a really attentive course supervisor or both; I don't care, I really enjoyed the course and the day. I will make it a point to return again and more often.

Challenging and fun

The course is staffed well, very friendly and service oriented staff for a public facility. With five sets of tees this cource can offer you all the challenge you're up for. Green comexes were in excellent shape, many, but not all of the bunkers were in good condition and the fairways and tee boxes were in good shape considering the number of rou d played. Will be back.

Good course for mid handicaps

I have always enjoyed playing here, the greens and fairways are usually in good shape. The tee boxes are fair and the bunkers could use more sand but that doesn't knock their score down much, its an enjoyable round most of the time. My lone complaint is to invest in marshalls, on more than one occasion we have played 5 hour + rounds due to slow play and in some cases excessive alcohol consumption on the course (only adding to the slow play).

Very happy to return here

This course has been a pleasure to play each and every time. Easy to book, friendly staff, very good conditions and really terrific value. We rarely have to wait at any point during the round nor do we get pushed.

Secret tip: try the hot red relish in the snack bar. Really great!

Well tended and good test of golf

this is my third time playing Berkleigh. I become more attached to the course each time I play. The course conditions have only improved each year. The greens in particular were in fantastic shape; I rarely see greens in this condition on the public course.

Tough and Challenging

The course is tough, mostly due to blind approach shots and undulating greens. If you are off the fairway in many circumstances it is going to cost you and I would suggest buying a yardage book in the pro shop if you don't have GPS with you. There are many approach shots to undulating greens that having the right number will really help.

Fun course requiring shot making

I have played here a few times this year and really enjoyed it.  Each hole seems to offer a different challenge be it narrow landing areas, blind pins, or sloped fairways.  The conditions have been good, greens and fairways well maintained.  A few of the tee boxes could use some work but all in all it's a fun course, that is harder than it looks and is priced very fairly.  I look forward to going back soon.  In reality I would rate it a 3.5 star  due to the tee boxes, and lack of any other facilities (minimal pro shop and snack bar)
