course is player friendly

Likens is a good course to play the 2 times I played it it was not that crowed so play moved right along I play in the low 100's and there were holes I found fairly easy to play but I also found some challenging holes like numbers 8 and 15 the course was in good condition and I am sure I will play it again in the near future I wish it were geographic closer to where I live

A hidden gem

This is a great course that is suitable for all skill levels. The layout is very nice, the front side takes on an old style country club feel and the back side is more of a new style mountain course. The overall course condition was great, the fairways and greens were very well taken care of and the rough was in good shape as well. The staff was very courteous and friendly as well as knowledgeable. The bar/restaurant area was also very impressive. Overall I was extremely impressed and I would highly recommend this course to anyone of any skill level.

Nice, had fun

Clean, tees and greens watered and keep nice, Greens are fast and hard to read, still lots of ball marks, (players need to start fixing). Course moved along smooth untill #13 then slowed way down. Had a fun day of golf.

couldn't ask for better putting surfaces

Couple of spots on fairways a little rough, but given the change of seasons course was in fantastic shape, putting surfaces nice true roll to them very receptive to approach shots

A nice relaxing round

This course was offered a nice round of rolling hills with averagely maintained fairways but very well kept greens.. The hills made for a lot of blind tee and approach shots which added to the challenge..

Excellent Course

With the exception of a couple of fairways, this course was in pristine condition. The greens rolled true but rather small in size for some of them. Nice sand conditions. The course is well marked, even giving distance to reach a creek off the tee. I found the course to play fair even though I struggled a bit due to less then average play.

A large group of players were about to tee off on the front ahead of me. The starter allowed me to tee off the back which allowed me to finish in a quick 2.5 hours even though I needed to pass a few groups.

The 40 minute drive was worth the trip.

With some work this course can be nice!

This course as well as most in the area show signs that weather has played a significant part of poor fairways and greens. Still, for the price not a bad day on this course. Maintenance was being performed while we golfed. Friendly staff and good food in the restaurant. Will be back.

the course was good and the greens were great. the staff was the worst I have ever experienced and I will not patronize this course again.

fariways were well maintained
greens were the most challenging I have played this year
the clubhouse attendant was the rudest and most unaccommodating. I cannot overstate the affect that the attendant had on mine and my two colleagues round of golf.

This course is a very fair course

What I liked most about this course is the greens are very true to the roll maybe a little slow but true. The fairways where well maintained and the rough was rough although those little white clover weeds made it hard to fine your ball . In all I liked the course and will definitely play there again.

better sand than before

Second time paying this course this year. Very well maintained but very challenging if you get off the fairway. In a word: trees. There was a problem early this year with the sand in the traps being hard as a rock or non existent, but not this time. The traps, as well as the course, were in excellent condition. Take a trip to Millersburg and play this course. It'll be well worth it.

Great for the price

Played this course in mid-June 2013. Found a noon tee time on GolfNow for $12 -- less than $15 after fees. For that price, this course is a steal. Not the most challenging layout, but well-maintained. Would gladly have paid about $25 to play. Definitely some tough pin placements.

Great Day on a very nice course

First of all it was a terrific day for golf. The sun was shining and the course was in very nice condition. There were very few people on the course and the pro shop had our Golf Now reservation and was all ready for us. I played with my brother and when we went into the proshop...the guy working there lry my brother demo a new taylormade driver. Everyone there was very friendly and we had a great time.
