Not the Edgebrook of Old

My husband and I hadn't played this course in probably 20 years. Our memories were an old course with minimal maintenance and having to tee off from rubber mats.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. The greens looked very well kept and the ranger was doing a nice job of gently moving everyone along and keeping us updated. We had a beautiful day an will definitely be heading back soon.

If you don’t mind turf tee boxes. This course ain’t bad. Greens are nice. Fun layout, super short. But a good course to just get some shots in and feel good about your score too haha

Slow and dry

This course has ten minute tee times so you are always waiting on every hole, and also the people in front of you that are waiting aswell. When i last played there was 4 groups waiting for hole 9. The ground is hard as a rock to the point where tees break trying to get them in the ground. After all that if you still choose to play here you need to leave 30 minutes early to still arrive late because the traffic is always awful. 1/10 only good thing is the staff.

Hi Tofji,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play during your visit. We understand how important it is for our guests to enjoy a smooth and enjoyable round of golf. Your comments are valuable to us, and we are actively looking into ways to improve the flow on the course.

10 Minute tee time spacing is actually more than industry standard so we will have to look into what happened on this day a bit further.

We hope you give us another chance, as pace issues is not typical to our course.

Best regards,

The Edgebrook Golf Course Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We do rely a lot on mother nature to keep the course watered. Pace of play is a big concern across the industry and we will make sure we do all we can to keep the rounds moving. Industry standard tee time intervals are less than 10 minutes so we will make sure we are doing all we can do to move players along.

no refunds

Course was flooded so we were unable to play the full 18, just 12 holes. Purchased carts as well, but the worker at the popshop refused to provide a refund for the cart fees and the 6 holes we didn't play due to flooding.

Raw Course - Mats for Tee boxes

I had friends tell me to not play here. I neglected their advice and played here with 4 friends. I wish I knew their clubhouse didn’t have real food and no offerings on the turn. Once you go out you better have all your stuff with you as you won’t come back till the end.

Now the worst part. You tee off from mats. Who wants to pay to tee off Mats.
