Orchard Ponds Golf Club

Played here first time on a Friday morning (7:15am), I played two 9 hole rounds. First round was 80 minutes, as a single player. Second round was right at 60 minutes.

No one pushing me or holding me up, the hole lay out take a little to figure out, but after my first round it was easy to follow. The greens are in excellent conditions and good fairways.

I didn't lose many balls. They are plenty of ball cleaners and a port-of-potty at the tee box of hole 6th. The golf carts are clean and are in great shape.

Tee box weren't littered with old tee's.

I heard from others to call in advance so not to get caught up in league play day. They have cards in the club house that list these days.

If I lived locally I would play this course on a regular biases.

I told my dad I wanted to play as much golf as we could during the week I was in town. This was the very first course he took me to and we played it twice in the first day.

We started in the morning (had one of the first tee times. The area had major rain the night before so the ground was not holding all the water too well. Greens were flooded (green on #7 was half underwanter), all the cups basically became ball washers, the seemed to roll very slowly. Fog that morning added difficulty to the morning round.

The evening time was a much more enjoyable round. The water had dried out, allowing for more carry and putting became more "normal". Between the two, that is why I gave the course an overall "Fair" level.

I would definately play this course again next time I visit, as long as it hasn't rained recently.

This course is only 9 holes. The facilities are very basic. Small clubhouse and practice green. Greens are in great shape and the tee boxes, fairways, rough, and bunkers are not horrible. Great if you're just starting out. Only fun if you're experienced. Affordable and fun.

This course is a shorter course which is great for beginner golfers or if you want a leisurely round of golf. The first hole opens with a 100 yard par 3 which is a nice relief compared to a long hole. There are some holes with water than can make the course more challenging, but over all its a fairly simple course.
