The Cleghorn Club

This place has changed much since last management. Traps are reservoirs, cart paths are dirt roads, and tee beds are torn to pieces. Conditions don’t seem to be a priority as they were previously. Staff is snarky.

Really fun course. For the most part the course was in great condition. I will play here again the next time I come into town.

Cleghorn is a nearby course that I get out to once or twice a year. However, I just can’t fall in love with it. For the prices they are asking. It just never matches up to area courses. It was $68 on a Friday morning and compared to other courses in the area. The conditions just don’t match up to me. The greens were recently punched and sanded. No discount for that. Courses should always discount for punched and sanded greens in my opinion. The fairways were really good. The tees were uneven and kind of bumpy in my opinion. The rough was about the same cut as the fairways. But the lies were so very tight. Very little grass in the rough. The bunkers are not well maintained. Pretty inconsistent. No sand just hard dirt in some. And a lot of soft sand in others. Grass growing up in some as well. Hadn’t been maintained it a while it looked to me. The layout is outstanding. It’s a fun layout. And very challenging for a bogey golfer like myself. However, for the price I’d expect better conditions. I played River Bend Tuesday and it was in better shape for $35. And I have played Deer Brook recently and payed $50 on a Sunday. In my opinion both are much better values. I’ll go back again. But it will be a while.

What a gorgeous course! A few holes challenging but the layout of the course and holes were beautiful. Greens were aerated so putting was difficult. We'll be back

Saturday so very slow. 5 hours +

basic snack bar with booze

Great course, great value, greens tricky, challenging. Look forward to going back.

A challenging course with lots of blind shots. Overall the course was in good shape. The greens were in excellent condition. We had three distinct levels of playing ability, but everyone enjoyed the day. The layout had a lot of ups and downs of a typical mountain course. A beautiful day to play.

Coarse was in great shape, greens were about a 12 and smooth

A beautiful afternoon for a practice round. The course was in good shape for the time of year. Unfortunately I got stuck behind a group of 3 using 1 cart and none of them seemed to know what they were doing, nor had they been taught any etiquette. For 12 holes I trailed them which made it difficult to get into any kind of rhythm. On the plus side it gave me lots of time to try a variety of shots from lots of lies which is kind of what you want for a practice round. The greens were tough and the pin placements on 9 and 17 bordered on malevolent. All in all it was a decent start to the season at a beautiful mountain course.

Conditions were good. Greens were big and fast and the course had plenty of elevation changes.

Only negative is the shortening of the 9th hole.

The course was in great shape. Staff friendly. It’s a little pricey, but with promo code it was comparable to other courses nearby.

Course in good condition- ONLY NEGATIVE is they allow 5 somes. Would not allow anyone to play through. Everything bout the course is very nice. Only a couple of blind shots. Definitely go back. Hopefully not get behind a 5 some that enjoys looking for golf balls on every hole. Pro shop staff are very friendly and answer all questions !

I have been a fan of this course for a long time and have played it when it was in really good shape and was a good value. It currently is neither. They are charging way too much for the condition of the course currently. They were charging $68 and it’s not worth more than $40 right now. The greens were ok. A little slow and grainy. But no big problems. However, the tee boxes had several large bare spots. There was very little grass, the ground was extremely hard, and ALOT of weeds. It wasn’t the worst I’ve ever played. But I’d expect much better conditions for that price in this area. The layout is still great. And very challenging. The employees were nice. But I’d have been upset if I’d paid full price. Luckily, I’d win a free greens fee there last summer and only had to pay 20 dollar cart fee. The pace of play was great. About 3 hours for a two some on a Saturday. But that’s bc the course is way overpriced. Much better value relatively close by at Meadowbrook, River Bend, and Deer Brook. I won’t go back unless conditions improve dramatically or the price is lowered 20 bucks or more.
