Good value with a deal

If you can grab the deal on golf now it’s a great special day out on the course. Just remember to check in at the Adler Hotel. That’s where the pro shop is, about a mile from the actual course. I drove back and forth and unfortunately no one was very helpful; however, that being said, it was a wonderful day once the golf started. The starter is a cool character as well.

Pro shop

The course itself and the staff at the course and the driving range are excellent, helpful and very knowledgeable

However I found some of the pro shop staff were not helpful and even arrogant

After getting rained out after starting the back 9 we were told that we would not get a rain check because we booked through GOLFNOW

They could have been a little bit less rude

Greens, fairways and sand were really good

I liked the course setup but in my view of not having food available during the week is not well .

The monster

Course is in great shape, sand is best around( not that you want to be in it) Greens roll beautifully and are true. The fall is a great time to play.

Not worth the money, to many unnecessary bells and whistle that you have to tip.

Just ridiculous to pay anything over $125 per round

Monster Inc.

After $40 million redesign and rehab I was expecting to be presented with a course that took the old Monster's character and brought to it modern design elements. The course is basically a totally different course and its not better. Gone are the old growth tree lined fairways. It's basically a bulldozed wide open dinner plate with fescue being the primary source of penalty. The rough is not rough. It's mowed to 2 inches and mostly green-brown eyesore. The fairways are ok but not as green as they should be for a course in a low lying area surrounded by ponds and a stream that can feed irrigation. Moreover there are numerous areas on fairways that have horrible weed growth. I caught a $100 tee time so I can tolerate this but it is unacceptable for a $250 weekend rate course. Granted they are far apart but Pound Ridge is superior in every way at the same price point. Perhaps the biggest nod to the Monster are the large greens. They have some challenges. The old monster challenged you to get to the green. This course doesn't really challenge you on the way to the green or on the green. I would estimate that it is 2 years away from growing in adequately presuming they maintain it correctly during that time period. $40 million to rehab and clean up the old Monster would have been amazing. The end result here is a headscratcher.

I do want to give kudos to the staff at the course. I interacted with a dozen people and they were all terrific! Thank you!

Good, not great. Certainly not worth $250

Played as a single on a beautiful weekday. No one on the course. Played 18 in 2:10. Awesome!!!

The 15th hole is terrible. It looks like the course doesn't know what to do with this hole bc there is no fairway. Crab grass is the fairway on this hole. Having never played here, this was confusing.

Greens in great shape and rolled beautifully. Fairways were ok, but certainly not at country club level. And for $250 they better be, but they are not. Overall course is in very good shape, but not worth it without a discounted price. I shot 78 and played 18 in 2:10.
