Always a good value
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.
Starter Had Attitude - Slow Play
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!
Golf on October 14
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.
Nice
For all the rain we have had the course was in great condition.
Nice course well maintained
To many young player with girl frinds and young groups that don’t play the game much. For a course the books a lot of players in a day. When it takes five hours or so to play 18 it’s not enjoyable. Very nice course.
Nice Course
The pace was slow because of the group in front of us. A short course, but you better hit it straight, as most fairways are lined with trees on both sides. A trip into the trees almost always requires a punch out. The course is well maintained, and is in amazingly good shape for a busy municipal course. Overall, a great course for the price. I've played higher price courses in much worse shape than Armitage.
Meh
Course was in good condition, except for the greens. These were poor. There shouldn't be aeration marks in the middle of June. The ball's were wobbling and bouncing, not rolling true. Not worth the 46$
Put the driver away
Very good course but gives a bonus for good shot placement and penalizes hard for missed shots. People were losing balls in the rough. Greens weren’t bad. Overall pretty well kept. Looking forward to playing again.

Course is well maintained for excellent golf experience
Decent Value
Not a bad course for the money. Fairly straight forward. Not long. Play was very slow on a Sunday afternoon, but not sure that is typical. Greens in good shape but very very slow. Overall not bad for the $$.
Hit it straight
Course is short, less than 6000 yards, but mature pines and other trees line most holes. So accuracy off the tee is a must. Course in very good condition.
Good short course
I enjoyed the round. First time to play. Pace was a little slow. Started on the back 9. By 14, we had caught the high schoolers that were playing 9 holes to qualify for this years' team. A little slow from there through 18 but good pace thereafter.
The course is very well manicured, attractive, clean layout and heavily tree'd. It is also very short. A little under 6,000 from the tips. This would frustrate a long hitter. Or maybe not. 4-6 of the holes are, or are very nearly drivable. Not necessarily a problem but could slow play if it was busy.
Probably wouldn't go back because of the shortness of the course but everything else was very nice! No other issues whatsoever!
P.S. great food and cold beer at the restaurant!
Short... Slow.. Won't Return for Golf
Was told by numerous people this was a great course in the area. Came out to the course as a single and joined a group. Started at 3pm, threesome. Course is incredibly short which you can see from the card. Fairways were in good shape, greens were incredibly slow. Pace of play was 5.5 hours.... We ran out of daylight on the course. Best thing about this course is the restaurant, CaddyShack and the friends I met at the bar. Shot a 34, so this review does not come from playing poorly. I would not recommend to any serious golfer, and will not be returning. If you are visiting and want a good place to place, I would head to Royal Manchester, Iron valley or Daulphin Highlands. Cheers
Strategic layout, a thinkers course
You can't bomb your way around here. Sometimes it might be better to leave the driver in the bag. A fairly 'tight' course, but there is room to work the ball. Each hole tells you how it needs to be played. Sometimes, that might be a draw off the tee, other times, a nice cut will put you in the best position to go at the well-guarded greens. A good mix of left-to-right and right-to-left holes, many with subtle elevation changes. This is definitely a course that rewards restraint, and local knowledge. You'll play better here on your second and third rounds than you do the first time out. Excellent course conditions, especially considering how much play this course gets. The greens are especially well-maintained, with a medium-fast speed and very true roll. A great value, too, especially on GolfNow Hot Deal rates.
Same guy must have been working yesterday!
