Amazing course!

Pam, The Villages

Always a solid course

Batey, Chapin

Tommy, Roanoke Rapids
★★★★ ★

The course was very good even with the drought condition.

Ken, Poland
★★★ ★★

Poorly maintained. Rough and fairway no difference many holes. Seems like all resources went to Kings North. Traps are mostly dirt. You can see the difference on #10 when a kings north hole runs next to. Wouldn’t recommend.

I Very rough shape

Mike, Vars
★★★★ ★

MBN always provides a good experience; however, the bag drop/loading clubs/getting started was very chaotic as they seemed understaffed out front.

John, Abingdon
★★★ ★★

Nice course although I believe our foursome which included of two women and one 93 year old man who nearly shot his age was unfairly targeted by the ranger. We were not playing slowly. The group behind was the problem but because they were “bros” they got away with it. Sexism put a damper on an otherwise enjoyable day

Alice, New York
★★★★ ★

Nice course maybe we were there a little early in the season conditions were average

Kaplan, Berkley
★★★★★

Same comments as Pine Hills.

Kenneth, Quarryville
★★★ ★★

It was a Saturday and we were put behind 2 men a young girl and a 6 or 7 year old that was playing?? Never seen that before on a Saturday at a 18 hole golf course? Nice course though

Too much course maintenance going on during play. They were mowing, running sprinklers and working in fairways during peak week of golf. Constantly had to wait on different maintenance crews who were in no way going to move for golfers...
