Purgatory Golf Club

Pretty cool course, friendly staff, bunkers are in pretty bad condition(the couple that I found myself in anyways) a lot of good sized rocks mixed in with the sand, and pretty solid surface as well from a lack of being raked out. Outside of that the course is pretty awesome, the stuff was much friendlier than a lot of courses and the pace of play was far better than more budget friendly courses.

Played it on a cold, VERY windy day, which added to an already tough challenge. Purgatory is one of the most difficult courses I have ever played, but I like the challenge. IF you get to the greens in regulation, your work is still not done...large and rolling! I accomplished one minor victory - I did not lose a ball!!! You better have control of your shots or Purgatory will be a long day!

I like the layout and conditioning of the grass areas at Purgatory. The bunkers are numerous and large, which is fine. The problem is that only 20% of the bunkers are well maintained. There are way too many bunkers with only a thin 1/2" layer of sand with hard packed clay underneath. If Purgatory wants to be seen as premium and charge premium prices for tee times (they do!). They need to fix the bunkers or eliminate the ones that they cannot maintain.

I enjoy the course, but make sure you're not behind any events or team matches. I teed off a little early, but quickly realized why no one had taken those tee times as I was quickly running into the end of a high school golf match.

Would have liked either a heads up or the chance to play the back 9.

Great course…30mph wind with gusts to 40 made it a challenge !

The course is great. Very unique. But, if they want to have a million sand traps, the traps should actually have sand in them (especially the ones around the greens).

Being my first time it was a little difficult navigating the course. The signage is limited but after a few wrong turns it was manageable. It is a little difficult to figure out where to go on a few holes and I was completely wrong on 18! Would play there again but at an 18 handicap it would have to be early in the season as when the long grass grows in the difficulty would soar. It was windy which didn’t help but I enjoyed the outing.

Staff was very friendly from the pro shop check in to the staff in the bar area.

Course was in good condition even for early in the season and all the rain we had earlier in the week. Some areas had some standing water but by and large most of those ares had no effect on play. Had a fun day of early season golf. Will return sometime soon.

I always love playing this course. First time in a long time playing without wind. Course was in great shape and the greens were in great shape even after being aerated.
