Little Mountain Country Club

First impression was staff was unfriendly not engaging . Starters were not helpful at all ... Grumpy guys . Outside bar staff was inattentive and slow. ( it wasn't that crowded. I wanted to purchase a club there was no selection at all to choose.
The course overall potential is huge. Great views and aesthetics. Greens are poor on most holes. Fairways were great. Obviously issues with bunkers . There were irrigation repairs that and equipment on course. It's a pretty place and close but get your people engaged and give customers and experience.

Little Mountain is a great course when it is properly maintained. The greens had been aerated and therefore were not the best. The sand traps are horrible and have been for the last two years.
Current course conditions should be posted, such as greens aerated and course under repair on the website.

Course has gotten worse every time we make the hour trip there from northwest pa, bunkers are unplayable, never used to see a weed on course, now it's getting bad, seems to be lack of maintenance staff and way too many cart guys looking for tips

COURSE IS BEING RENOVATED. TRYING TO BRING
IT BACK TO THE COURSE IT USED TO BE.
WE PLAYED IN NOVEMBER.GREAT
WEATHER THAT DAY.

Played after a long time wanting to get up here to try it out. It definitely has the modern style golf design to it. The greens were firm and fast, I know some said they were terrible and others said they were great, but if there was a rough spot there was no pin near it. Really besides the bunkers, which they are in the process of renovating,, the course is as good of shape as you could expect a course in Ohio to be in the fall. I played in 2:20 as a single, mainly because of the difficulty of the course however some holes play 30 yards
+ shorter than the card with the downhill holes such as the last 450 par 4, but hit driver 280 (normally 250) then was left with 170 in fairly manageable I'd say. There are some really spectacular holes here and houses that will make you want to puke because they are so extravagant (none come into play). I made an hour drive to play and would do it again, hopefully I can bring some buddies back to play next time.

Course seemed to be under reno, lots of bunkers had huge rocks in them which made them dangerous or unplayable.
Greens rolled true and fast, best part of the course.

No cart person on the course

Staff was just present, nothing special going on there.

Overall, as a tourist it's a great track to play, especially for the price! I paid $26 USD thru GN.

Little Mountain used to be an awesome experience. Not this time. The bunkers were unplayable. There had to be standing water in at least 80% of them. I played with another guy and we must have lost at least 6 balls in them!

The course is a great layout but the greens were just OK. The bunkers were shot! Cart path only made it a longer round. I think we both gave up scoring after the 4th lost ball bunker. Just try to enjoy the round without keeping score if you're going to play here anytime in 2014.

Even the 19th hole is different. Definitely not what it used to be!

A great layout but course is lacking in conditioning. Greens were not so good . Traps were an absolute disgrace. If course can not maintain traps they should eliminate 1/2 of the. This has not changed from 2 years ago. Very disappointed

Unique, well done course. Lots of bunkers, paved cart paths.

We played this course 2-3 days after a heavy rainstorm. Unfortunately, this left half of the bunkers underwater or muddied and the 18th hole essentially unplayable due to a water (sewer) line break on the fairway that left the hole in embarrassing shape.

The maintenance problems were very disappointing as the course itself has great "bones" - rolling hills, challenging trap placement, deep bunkers and quality greens. I would love to play the course if/when it is in prime shape but don't know if that's an unreal expectation.

Most of the greens were back to normal. The 2 that weren't still rolled decently.
They could use some rangers to monitor course. Group in front of us just about drove carts on greens. On the par 3 14th 1 guy drove cart behind green and got hung up on curb when leaving. Swearing at us for not helping him after his group left him. People like this just ruin a nice course.

The greens, fairways and rough were in great shape and very enjoyable to play. But with all the bunkers that are part of this courses design get it togethe!. At best 50% are unplayable and 30% look like construction sites. Someone needs to come up with a solution for this problem. Every year that passes it just gets worse.

Little Mountain is easily one of the best courses in the area. It is fun to just marvel at design. However the design is probably the cause of only issue the course has in my opinion, which is the bunkers. There are a seemingly unending amount of bunkers, that seem to swallow up golf balls. Most of the bunkers around the green are at least head high, most seem taller, even some fairway bunkers were very deep. The bunkers were groomed nicely, but very firm under a soft top layer. I saw many other groups having the same issues attempting to get out around the green. It was nice from the fairways, but it was hard to get under the ball.

The greens were the firmest and fastest of any course I've played this year, very fun and very difficult to putt on. Greens were amazing.

Nicest course we've played this year. We felt like we were on vacation!

It was great my husband got a hole in one!!! Love that course..

I arrived early and was promptly informed by the guy at the front desk that the other three guys for my tee time were running late (strangers to me as I booked a single), and that I needed to go speak to the starter. This would be fine, except for the fact that the starter, Tomas, was grumpy, barely acknowledged my existence, and went about his other business. The other staff members (I think they were rangers, wearing different colored shirts) were actually helpful and approachable. After that initial shock of Tomas' indifference, I was paired with two other guys. These guys were enjoyable to play with and knew the course. It's not shocking that their first words to me (literally) were "That guy (Tomas) is not friendly." Apparently Tomas does not discriminate with his colorful personality. Now I'm not calling for Tomas' head here, but if this is how he treats people on a normal basis, I will just be steering clear of this place. If I want a starter with the disposition of a Brillo pad, I will stay home and clean my house. The course itself was pretty nice (nicer than other people had told me). Apparently the bunkers were a mess earlier in the season. While there were a few bunkers with some serious rocks in them, the course conditions were above average. My only gripe was the pace of play. There were a few people ahead of us that really should not be playing this course or should opt for the front (or even women's tees). 3 stong players should not take 5 hours to play the course. The fact that the course has so many staff and rangers, it is alarming to me that there was not more sense of urgency in moving the play along. On many tee boxes, we had a 10 minute wait. I will play elsewhere if this is not addressed. The girls in the clubhouse and cart girl were cute, friendly and helpful.

Course was in great shape!! Never had to wait and didn't feel pushed by people behind us. Staff was very friendly. Only negative was after round wanted to get lunch, sit in the AC and watch golf but wouldn't serve food inside? Very odd! Over all though was very please!

Played at pace that we felt we were not pressured, in fact, we were able to pass other slower golfers

The course features rolling hills with many sand traps. The layout was interesting making a shot selection important. There were many times I need to decide whether to layup or go for it, which makes for a fun round. The course conditions were very nice, but many of the sand trapped have been partially washed away due to the rain. A condition very common this year everywhere I have played even a private club that was immaculate otherwise. Staff was friendly as well as the couple groups of golfers I spoke with. I would highly recommend playing this course. It may not have become my favorite course, bur it is on the short list.

Over 5 hours and 15 minutes for 18 holes is unacceptable. The fact that some club employees knew of the pace of play problem and one responded to an inquiry about speeding up play with "what do you want me to do about it" pretty much sums up how much attention goes into the on-course experience. The fact that many bunkers had little sand and were littered with rocks (some almost the size of your hand) was an added bonus.
