Bedford Trails Golf Course

Some of the nicest greens in the area just a tad slower than med. speed but rolled very smooth. Fairways on back are very tight and go right into trees and unplayable lies if you find your ball.The staff is very friendly .it is a nice course with some challenging holes.

In 30+ years of golf, I’ve never experienced anything like this place. First, the course itself. Goofy design. If you hit it more than 200 yards or so off the tee, you might as well leave your driver at home. Every other hole seems to dogleg, and instead of turning where you would typically shape a driver shot, any driver hit well will go through the fairway and end up in the trees. And they apparently love to put the holes in the middle of the most severe slopes of every green in an effort to trick up the greens just to make the course seem a little less easy. The course was among the most poorly maintained I’ve ever played. Fairways are virtually indistinguishable from the rough. Bare patches EVERYWHERE, including large sections of the greens. But none of those things are the reasons I’d suggest people avoid this place like the plague. Rather, it’s the terrible staff that will keep me from every going back.

When I arrived this morning, there was no starter to be found. The guy in the pro-shop directed me to No. 1 tee, and everything seemed fine. I played the front pretty quickly as a single with basically nobody in front of me. When I made the turn, everything changed. Turned out they’d been sending a league off the back 9. That’s fine; I get it. I’ve run into this before, and my experience has always been that players making the turn basically just merge into line with the folks who are starting on the back. Play tends to slow down a bit, but it works. In this case, however, a player from the league apparently complained to the starter (who had shown up since I went off an hour or so earlier, I guess) because I was sitting at the 10th tee waiting to continue my round. Instead of telling her that I was making the turn and had the right of way to continue onto the back 9, the starter empowered this lady to approach me and basically yell at me that I had no right to go off the back because they have a league and have all the tee times. Now, there was no indication on the website when I made my tee time that I wouldn’t be able to play the back 9. And when the pro-shop took my greens fee, they made no indication that I would not be able to play the back 9. And this woman was very rudely insisting that I get off the back 9 because she was somehow more entitled to start her day there than I was to continue my round. Not wanting confrontation, I headed back toward the pro-shop in search of the starter. When I found him, he told me that I couldn’t play the back 9 because of the league. He told me I should have sought him out and asked to go off on 10 first when I teed off earlier in the morning ... like that’s my job despite having been directed to No. 1 by the pro-shop staff! Then he challenged my integrity, insisting that I couldn’t have teed off when I told him I did because he would have seen me. Nevermind that he was nowhere in site when I paid my greens fee, came out of the clubhouse, loaded up my cart and headed to the first hole at 8:30 a.m. Then he tells me that my only option is to wait until there’s another opening on No. 1 and play the front 9 again ... which might not be for half an hour or more because they had groups lined up to play the front. He was wrong, though; I had another option — to unload my clubs from the cart, get in my car and head home ... vowing to never return again to this course where they clearly don’t know what they’re doing, don’t care about the quality of the course or the experience, and are just happy so long as they’re raking in that sweet, sweet league money.

Typical old school course, lots of short dogleg par 4s that require a bit of shotmaking off the tee, can't just pull out the driver and bomb away. Small undulating, postage-stamp greens also help make up for the lack of distance, a few are even two-tiered... don't get a above the hole! This is not meant to be a championship course, just a good course to go and enjoy with your friends. Will definitely return, this time with some course knowledge =)

First time playing this course. Greens were in rough shape in some spots, as were the fairways. There were times I couldn’t differentiate between the fairway and the rough. I understand it’s been dry, but the course clearly isn’t maintained outside of Mother Nature. Very tight in some spots with a lot of doglegs. Carts are average. Restaurant on site looks good and was packed for breakfast. Beer at the turn was a smidge pricy ($28 for 12 Michelob Ultras). Would rather go down the road a few more minutes and play Knoll Run for a few more bucks.

I would never recommend playing this course, even if it's free. The older starter was very rude and bothersome.. Hole after hole is nearly the same with mostly no traps,, greens with little definition & some with dead grass. Pace was quite slow. Some golfers dressed like they were ready to mow the lawn - sleeveless tee shirts were not uncommon. Don't waste time or money on this place definitely not worth it.

Pace of play was slow because of the twosomes playing through after today I will never let anyone play through again. No ranger out there to push the pace along. Super nice course! Cannot beat it for the price to golf there

Great course. Unfortunately it’s over ran by senior citizens that play like turtles crossing the road. Not to mention they have no regard for the faster players playing behind them.

had large group ahead. Was very slow play. Greens are in very good shape. Will play again, hopefully when not so slow.

Nice course. Tight fairways, lot's of trees. I will play it again. Was fun.

Enjoyed the course and the restaurant facilities. Staff very cordial and nice plus the owners are great people. Love this venue!

Nice level course continuos cart paths once everything opens it will even better !

Ok, I'm not one to write bad reviews on golf courses, as I play often. Now, I've played about seven courses in Ohio to this date in April, 2020(late April). EVERY course that I played so far has been manicured, even with all the rain that we have received. I'm talking about cut fairways and last year's leaves being removed from several fairways. On several holes, I spent a couple minutes trying to locate my ball in the fairway, because they haven't been cut yet. I observed two workers cutting the tee boxes with a push bag LAWN MOWER, and the tee boxes were still four inches long after they were done. I mean...common man !!! I will give some credit to the greens as they were in good shape and putted true. Overall opinion, glad it was only twenty bucks. Maybe it's different in the summer time, but I won't be coming back again.
