★★★★★

Course was wonderful! Friendly staff. I highly recommend this course

Hudsom, Lynchburg
★★ ★★★

Course conditions were poor with tee complexes having little if any grass. Rain checks were extremely hard to acquire after rain forced us to give up the round.

Ashworth, Union
★★★★★

A good challenge, creative layout.

Joe, Solvay
★★★★ ★

Unfortunately a rain-out day but staff were great and helped us get rainchecks which we used later in day under slightly better rain conditions for 9 holes

William, Whitinsville
★★★★ ★

Good course but not on a level with others.

Ken, Salisbury
★★★★ ★

Funky layout through neighborhoods. Liked the course though.

Andrew, Oxford
★★★★ ★

Very nice course. The folks were nice and helpful.

Gordon E, Lake Ronkonkoma
★★★★ ★

Course was not in best of shape, again maybe due to weather, but it was okay. Of the 4 courses we played, the 4th best condition wise.

Kirchner, Salisbury
★★★★ ★

By far the nicest of the 4

Uitermarkt , Tiffin
★★★★ ★

Loved the course, and layout. Course was in great shape and the staff were awesome!

Keith, Lakeland
★★★★ ★

Great course. Layout was fun. Only downside is the 3 spot hitting mats into a net as a range.

Mark, Leesville
★★★★ ★

Exceptional staff. Great, beautiful, course. Tim and Larry exceptional to deal with. Great team - Great course

Warren, Fuquay Varina
★ ★★★★

Booking us a course in that condition was pretty outrageous. In other circumstances, I’m sure it would’ve been a great course.

Zach, Bowling Green
★ ★★★★

Initial booking of the trip we were told that the scheduled dates for aeration were already determined, and our courses would not be affected while we were there. A week out on Instagram I saw that this course got punched. Craig said that he was going to look into it and let us know if we would need to switch courses reach back out to Craig several times and never got an answer. The course was also running a special at reduced rates which we did not get to take part in because we already paid full. These greens were in very questionable shape and would’ve been nice to be able to play a different course considering we flow down to play top courses.

Laytart, Maumee

Very dry and hard to play

Christopher
★★★ ★★

Had afternoon tee time and a little backed on the box so maybe over booked. Good course, not great.

Eric, Wilmington
★★★★★

Enjoyable course

Pitts , Wilmington
★★★ ★★

It has a great layout, but the fairways are too sandy! I wouldn't want to play it in the future!

kenneth, poland
★★★★★

Course received a ton of rain the night before we played that stopped about 30 minutes before tee time. But midway the front, the course had drained very well

Charles, Roanoke Rapids
★★★ ★★

OK condition, not as good as past years

George, Maysville
★★★★ ★

Condition of course fringe areas could be in better shape. Lots of hard pan.

Alan
★★★★ ★

Some very unique and interesting holes. I was told the switching over of seed explained some thin spots, but we liked this course.

John, Gilford
★ ★★★★

a pathetic excuse for a golf course that’s like playing in a hard-pack dirt field with a bit of grass thrown in. horrible!

Rick, houston
★ ★★★★

Worst course conditions I have played in many years. A lot of dirts spots around the fairways, greens were sandy, hard pan around the greens on many holes. Mats at practice area decaying. Sand traps not maintained.

Michael, Massillon
★ ★★★★

I'm sure this club has it's supporters, but they are mostly farmers.

Jack, Marietta
★ ★★★★

Terrible course cow pasture

Glen, Fayetteville
★★★★★

Challenging course with lots of waste bunkers. If they aren't to your liking.. don't hit there !

Mike, Brampton
★★★★ ★

Not in as good of shape as Willbrook Plantation or True Blue, but still a very nice outing.

Burt, Amherst
★★ ★★★

No range and worst green condition we played.

Mark, Pembroke
★★★★ ★

Did not play, got rained out

Brian, Cape Coral
★★★ ★★

Average. So many players. Hard to keep it up.

Albert
★★★★ ★

Wasn’t crazy about all the waste area but overall it was really good

James
★★★ ★★

Moins bonnes conditions que la dernière fois que nous l'avions joué. Décevant.

Carol, Beaumont
★★★ ★★

Disappointing, the waste bunkers get tedious

Robert , Old Orchard Beach
★★★★ ★

People talked down this course. It was a pleasant surprise. Several character holes that would be hard to forget.

Brent, Abingdon
★ ★★★★

Course in general was in very bad condition

Steven, Fallston
★★★★★

Very nice course , everyone on staff is friendly.Course in great shape

Tony, Selden
★★★★★

Great place! nice layout and people!

Mark, Durham
★★★ ★★

Very dry conditions.

Joseph, Canp Hill
★★★ ★★

Course condition was good. Staff friendly. Course layout, with driving over multiple roads to get to next hole is biggest negative.

Tim, Mechanicsburg
★★★ ★★

Shot my best round here. No complaints.

Edward, Thornhill
★★★ ★★

Most of these courses were in rough shape, one really bad - all sand and one was nice - I forget which ?Avocet maybe.

Marc, Guelph
★★★ ★★

Fun course to play a 2nd 18 at. A little lacking on the maintenance side.

Andrew, Suffolk
★★★★★

from starter to finishing in the grill, everyone was exceptionally nice. course was in excellent condition tee to green

Geoffrey , Elkton
★★ ★★★

This course was dry with too many hardpan surfaces. Our group is very unlikely to choose this course again.

John, Grand Rapids
★★ ★★★

Too much sand and dog legs as well as tight fairways. It would be helpful to provide distance to the turn on the dog legs from the tees.

John, Chambersburg
★★★★ ★

Greens too slow

Thomas, Chambersburg
★★★ ★★

Grass wasn't fully grown in

Andrew, Palatine
★★ ★★★

Not in same league with other 3 courses. Waste bunkers for cart paths. Limited and confusing signage. Dead-pan grass on fairways. Carts in disrepair. Grooming around and in pot bunkers was poor. Like the architecture of the layout, but would never play again.

G Paul , Perkasie
★★ ★★★

Was not happy with this course. The people were great, but the course was not in good shape.

Michael, Brookfield
★★★ ★★

Course was not in good shape and a little gimmicky for my liking.

Patrick, Cincinnati
★★ ★★★

Conditions below average and cart routings on public roads was concerning

Joe , Hoffman Estates
★★ ★★★

Not in the best shape and a little too narrow. Hard to use driver.

Arun, Barrington
★★★ ★★

Average course, in good condition

Tom, Myrtle Beach
★ ★★★★

Too many waste areas

Patsy, Charlotte Hall
★★★ ★★

Needs a little TLC
