Armitage Golf Course

My golf partner and I decided that today was probably the most painful round we have ever played and not because we had bad hits. The other twosome that was supposed to golf with us didn’t show so we played ourselves. We were told there was a league out in front of us so we had expected some slowness on the front 9. The first three holes were great. The fairways were in great shape as well as the greens. Then we caught up to the ladies the starter told us about. It was the first time I witnessed two foursomes playing the same par 3 at the same time with another group waiting in front of us. Actually one of the par 4’s had 4 groups playing at one time. We just kept thinking we are almost done with the front 9. Now we expected to whiz through. Nope! Two ladies evidently chose to start on the back and on hole 11 when one asked the other if they should let us play through, she said No! We chose to skip that hole because there was no one in front of us. So now the maintenance people are making all kinds of dust right where we are playing and they didn’t stop and oh by the way, the sprinklers were going too. This went on for two or three holes. We tried to stay positive and just make the best of it but it was tough. The course has a starter but obviously do not manage the course with a Marshall to try to keep play moving.

Look I am a woman who is all for everyone playing golf but the course needs to set tee times accordingly when leagues are playing if they are slower so it is not so aggravating to their other guests. It was pretty obvious that tee times should never have been started for a minimum of 30 minutes after their last tee off. There were 2-3 groups backed up at almost every hole starting around hole 5 and it increasingly got worse.

The most positive part of the day was the Caddy Shack. Food was great!

We played early September. About 90 degrees out. Fairways were beautiful. Course was not over crowded and pace was great. The greens and tee boxes were a little beat up. But it’s been a wonderful summer so I assume they had lots of use. They are working on bringing them back. The lady tending bar was amazing!!!!! So friendly made me feel welcome to be there. I wish I had time to hang out at the bar after. The food at chaddyshack is awesome. And the food at the turn is quick and good!!! I would play here a hundred times over. Thank you for running a top notch course!!!

Good course good conditions slow play because of the popularity. Recommend course to everyone.

Play true but you gotta keep the ball between the trees and on The Fairway otherwise you pay the price. Greens Road true and I would recommend the course to all. Unfortunately we had to wait at every hole to play so it made for a longer round.

I initially tried to get on a course closer to home but the available tee times didn’t work. I found a tee time at Armitage that worked but not sure it really “worked”. My twosome was jammed into line waiting to get on. From there it was a substantial wait each hole with people waiting behind us as well. Course itself was kept up with reasonably well but holes were all on top of each other. Players criss crossing across holes often.

Staff was reasonably friendly and the price through golf now app was super reasonable.

Overall for $30 it was fine but with me being new to area and with so many choices I will need to check out other courses before I return to Armitage

Course is a nice layout with different looks on each hole. Tight fairways lined with trees on almost every hole. Greens and fairways were in great shape and rolled nicely however some of the tee boxes were pretty bad. Uneven, bumpy and seemed like they hadn't been repaired in some time. Overall good course to play and will definitely be back.

Golf carts were very dated and the 2 we used did not run well and was hard to set the brake. The cart paths were pretty rough in a lot of places. I tried to fix my divot on a few tee boxes and there was no sand in the boxes. With a little more effort on their part they could get my rating to a 4 star.

play was extremely slow for the first 5 holes--called the pro shop for a ranger to move the group ahead of us along since they didn't offer us the chance to play thru--woman seemed to be giving LESSONS as they played--not good for a holiday weekend.....ranger DID SHOW & play moved fairly well after

We played as a foursome today and the pace of play was good. The only problem I had was that there didn’t seem to be any effort of raking the bunkers by the maintenance staff after the rain. The bunkers were clumped and impossible to hit consistent shots out of. Otherwise, the course was in great condition and the greens were fast but fair.

Armitage is a course that is full of trees and requires good accurate tea shots to keep yourself in play and have opportunities for second and third shots. It was very windy out cross winds were brutal taking the ball into the trees frequently and the aerated greens still rolled fairly well. I would recommend this course to others.

The fairways were well groomed and cut. Greens were rough due to them being aireated. The course needs new cart paths. Several rough areas!

Fantastic day of golf at Armitage this past Tuesday. For a public course it is in incredibly great shape. I recommend you give it a try if you haven't played Armitage before.

Amazing staff, price and course. Payed 18.50 for 18 with a cart. Loved the layout and it being a challenge without being over the top.

Most local courses have suffered immensely (several I've played were swamps) during this extremely wet year and Armitage is better than most. Played several time this year and i think if we have a mild winter and a drier spring, the course should be back in its prime by mid 2019.

I have played here before and am familiar with course, however I’m not sure which was worse yesterday - the ‘starter’ (who also was cleaning carts)’ or the pace of play. The starter had an attitude when we sat by hole 1 thinking we were next because there were no other golfers around. We were rudely hollared at instrad of him coming down to explain and told there was another group in front of us.

Pace of play was terrible of pace of play could not be kept up with 8 min apart the perhaps they should put more time between t times. Singles and doubles were going out instead of teaming them up together. I invited two different groups to join ours and they declined. The course should be putting them together.

The positive to this was that I had my grandson with me and I am trying to teach him golf etiquette so it was certainly a teaching opportunity!

Starter was a very unpleasant person and should work to increase his patience with customers and sharpen his social skills. This behavior discourages my continued motivation to schedule further play at this course.
