Links O'Tryon

Links O' Tryon is a great value right now. I paid $50, which is a little cheaper than the other courses in the area, and the conditions were almost as good. Fairways were good, the lies were a little tight in spots, but overall, not bad. The tees were decent, a few with bare spots, especially on par 3s, and a few had been plugged and sanded to try to promote growth, but overall, not an issue. The greens looked really good, and rolled great, but maybe a touch slower than most places around. Several greens the fringe had been plugged and sanded which made putting from just off the green a bit harder. The layout is really fun, and really open, with just enough challenge to keep you interested. Overall, for what I paid compared to what I got, I was pleased, and I will go back for sure.

Everything was super, but the water coolers needed refilling.... really important on the 90 plus days.

The course is in good shape considering the lack of rain lately. You can tell that they are watering it regular to keep it that way. You get a lot of ball rollout right now with the drier weather.

Course was in good condition. Pace was good. Fun course to play

Course is nice, some areas need work because it’s been very dry byt overall not bad. The starting ranger was pretty crabby. The foursome with the T time before us didn’t show. There were only 2 of us but he wouldn’t let us go early. Had to wait for our pair to show up. I’d rather play as a twosome and wait for the group ahead then play with a pair that can’t find their ball, talks on your backswing etc.

Course was dry from lack of rain which was great for rolls on long drives. A true shot makers course. Pick your line and commit to the shot.

Areas around the greens could use some hand pulling of random fescue and rye grass to improve appearance. Overall very happy and tied my best score on 9 holes of a 36.

Staff friendless could use a little work. I arrived 15 min before my tee time and felt rushed by the started who I was greeted by when I put my bag down to go into pro shop to check in. Pro shop staff were less than welcoming. I asked where restroom was and after being directed to the location was told I should hurry that I was on the tee.

My group I got paired up with were confused as to why I was being rushed. There were groups in front of us so it's not like we could go out early. Maybe just a bad day for the staff but worst I have been treated at a golf course in years as a guest.

Pace was lacking due to my threesome turned into a fivesome. We had a 8-9 year old playing.

The staff were very professional and courteous.

This is my new favorite golf course in the area o WNC ans Upstate SC
