Cumberland Golf Club

It is a fun course to play and is wide open to most shots. I am a hagger, so it was fine. Lot of senior citizens that are having a great time, but they do not hold up the pace of play.

The layout of the course was fun. It wraps back and forth around itself(kind of like a roller coaster ride).

I enjoy playing Cumberland because of the great value for your green's fee rate and the course presents a unique challenge for golfers of any skill level!

But nothing about this course really screams special. The group I was playing with had to replace the tee box markers on at least half of the holes because the guys cutting the grass apparently couldn't be bothered to get off the lawnmower to do it when the finished.

Staff has been great every time I have been here, the course has rarely been too busy, plays VERY long.

Enjoyed the layout and the people with whom I was paired. Somewhat turned off by the Pro Shop which was not very friendly towards my desire to walk 18 holes despite having paid for a cart on a Hot Deal. Course in decent condition and found it playable despite not knowing a few blind or trouble shots. Disappointment came when I tried to post my handicap based on the 88 I shot. US Handicap said the Rating and Slope were not valid and I could not post.

We were not held up until the back nine when we had to wait on every hole because of a foursome the course allowed to start on hole 10 just as we were finishing the front nine. Play was extremely slow on the back nine.

our group has a great experience at this course. today we did experience something that none of us have ever seen before. the greens mower was holding us up, then he waved for us to hit from 125 yards whilst he was sitting between us and the pin. aside from the distraction he was making, we were afraid that one of use would hit him. he finally moved away and we hit our shots, but he looked very displeased with us.

our 4some likes this course, but they allowed a 5some to tee off before us on the first hole. after a few holes of really slow play, i ask them about the 5some, and they said it was permitted. they then allowed us to play though. smooth sailing after that. course in great shape.

The course was in great shape, tee to green. We played in just over 3 hours, as an outing cleared the course just before we tee'd off. Fairways, and tee boxes were good. Greens ran fast and true. The par 3s have some length to them, but many of the par 4s are short. Until hole 17. 450 yard par 4, which finished uphill and into the prevailing wind. Nobody in our group reached in regulation. Not even close. 18 is 430 yards, but downhill and with the wind it played much easier. The restaurant was good, but could use some additional draft options.

Course was in great shape except for a few greens. Holes became quite challenging if you didn't hit the fairway. The rough was thick with clover and the tree lined fairways would cost you strokes.

This course just came on Golfnow. Pace a play was good up to 15. Got behind a foursome. And play came to a complete stop. I was playing as a single. Love the course layout. For you people that can read. Please read about golf Etiquette and let people play through.

greens and sand bunkers in nice shape. not much to complain about here.

The course was in very good condition tee to green, and the greens were simply outstanding! Fast, smooth, and fairly hard. They had no blemishes. The course has just about everything: doglegs, elevation changes, water, and greenside bunkers. The bunkers have the best sand I've played this year.

The carts operate on gas, and they've seen a lot of miles. Ball washers are available at most tees. Drinking water stations are limited to entrances of the two funky tunnels under Ritner Highway (US 11) that are barely big enough to get a cart through. The only tees with listed rating and slope are the whites and reds. Blues (longest) and blacks (second shortest) are not listed.

I did not have any contact with the staff other than booking our tee time. Therefore, I'm not rating the staff. There is a clean, modern restaurant which we did not use; so, I'm not rating food service.

I had a very good time at Cumberland, made better by the fact I played with a nice threesome, one of whom knew the course pretty well. There are a number of interesting holes with elevation chanes, severe doglegs, risk/reward and of course the not-for-the-claustrophobic cart tunnel underneath Route 11.
The staff did not expect me, were a little unhappy a discount tee time was offered on Good Friday, but did get me out fairly promptly. While they did not overtly try to make me feel unwelcome, there was an air of that due to the circumstance regarding my GolfNow booking.
