Keith Hills Golf Club - White Course

Pro asked me to leave course so he could go home and see visiting family for Easter. I was surprised and disappointed. I was well within a 4 hr round but agreed to pickup and leave after 15 holes. Pro offered rain check but I was too surprised to accept and just packed up and left.

I was hoping that with a 9am tee time the play would be closer to 4-4-1/2 hours. We tee’d off 15 minutes after our T-time, every hole was backed up. There seemed to be a scramble in front of us and there was no sign of a ranger anywhere. The front took 2:45 and the back was even slower. (4 groups waiting to tee off in front of us when we made the turn) The course conditions were OK at best and the greens had not grass. Hopefully a week of warmer weather will get the grass coming in.

This was my second time playing Keith Hills. The first time was very frustrating because our tee time was bumped back 1 hour due to a golf tournament and so we didn't have enough time to finish before it got dark.

This past Saturday we had an 8:12 tee time and we had a great 4 hour pace for 18 holes. The weather was cold and after several days of rain so cart path only is always a bummer but it wasn't too bad.

However, after we finished the number of people that showed up to play in the afternoon was insane, It felt very crowded and I was thankful for our early tee time and it showed but that you must play early at this place or the pace of play will be bad but that was just my impression.

Had heard about this course over the years. So decided to play it on the way home from MB. Rain delayed our start. Once we went out to start play, we had to go back to pro shop to ask for towels to wipe down seats etc. They had only one towel to offer... The lady pro or manager was indifferent about the towels. The adventure started on the White nine, the signage is poor as you have a hike to get out to White #1, the last sign is facing a perpendicular cart path you are on saying which way to White #1. The White nine needs renovation to make it more eye appealing. The other two nines have some character. The GPS was ok, but you need glasses to read the messages on each hole. They didn't tell us that the 2nd nine would be cart path only. They didn't get that much rain... The local kids with their own carts didn't have to pay attention to the cart path only rules. The course has potential and most of the people were friendly, but management needs to be more on the ball. The food was very good however the lady behind the counter was lazy and just watched her soap operas on her phone instead of coming out and cleaning up the tables. This is a college course owned by the college but needs some guidance.

Course layout is always a good challenge, with rolling fairways and some elevated greens and fairway bunker placement.

Greens were quick and pin placements a little brutal for the speed of the greens, especially #5!

Enjoyed the White/Orange combination.

Love fast greens, hard but not hard, would play again, had my first hole in one on Black 5th hole
