Mount Airy Golf Club

Played Mount Airy for the first time. Chilly, windy day, but an enjoyable round. Course conditions were very good with the lone exception being the condition of the sand traps. It is not so much as to the type of sand being used - that was consistent throughout the course, but rather that the traps do not seem to be raked by the course management staff (easily loosened up by raking), nor by players who were previously in the traps - a lot of footprints, gouges etc.

Course knowledge is a must. Thankfully one of our group played there previously this year and could give us some guidance. Shot-making is a must, and ball placement on a number of holes far outweighs just busting it as far as possible. Several par 5's (including #1) are best played planning a lay-up because the shot is either blind or demands an exact placement and carry.

Will definitely be back as the value is very good, course conditions overall are very good, and the course represents challenges to making good shots regularly.

One last comment - our round finished at 5:15 but we were disappointed to find the pro shop and bar already closed....no 19th hole.

3.5 hours for the front 9, just way to slow pace of play. Course rangers do not know how to speed people up. Gave up and got refund after 9 will never return

Stayed at Mt. Airy casino 9/14-9/16. Played on 9/16. Goofy mountain golf course with some ridiculous tee shots. Target golf but even good shots can find some horrible places. Many blind shots. Play with someone who knows the course or bring ur Skycaddy.

Course was in ragged condition. Fairways ragged. Greens lush but way too slow. Bunkers filled with soft sand and looked like they hadn't been raked in days.

Glad I only paid $30. Would've really been angry if I paid regular prices. Skip this one and head to Jack Frost National if you want an extremely enjoyable mountain golf experience.

Nice golf course in above average shape, but the day we played it took 3 hours to play the front nine so when we made the turn we saw no one was on the first tee and we decided to play the front again. Disappointed because we like the back better than the front, a little more challenging. I recommend playing Mt. Airy at least once in your lifetime, it just happened to be busy and SLOW the day we played.

The round was not at all enjoyable due to the extremely slow play and players in the woods constantly looking for balls. On average there was two to three groups on a hole.

Never be bored for this course because each hole has unique setup so makes you think.

Ball not always go as you plan but always enjoying regardless of score

First time playing Mt Airy this past weekend and i was very happy with the experience. The course was in great shape except for the sand traps which were a mess, but i think it was due to the recent heavy rain. Pace of play was a little slow but expected on a Sunday. Food at the restaurant was really good and staff was friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this course and cannot wait to go back and play it again

Blind uphill shot on #1

Take a look at it at top of hill on right about 1/4 mile before entrance to casino.

Great course!

Course is in beautiful condition, if you haven't played here before buy a yardage book and hit to spots as there are some blind shots out there. Very fun layout

We had a great experience at this very nice golf course. Course was in great shape, play moved quickly and you cannot beat the special rate of $21 with fees offered by GOLFNOW. Course is challenging but playable for all levels of players except beginners. Would highly recommend. Be careful of the pond on number one at the top of the hill!

Course was in excellent condition. Staff was very accomadating. Only problem was slow play but in all fairness it was extremely hot that day which may have been a factor. Highly recommend

Great value, staff and course. Pace was a little slow, though not surprising for Sunday afternoon. Was impress that range warden was out ensuring foursomes were moving along.

no good for beginner & too far at our citi

let me start off by saying - this course is great. Beautiful layout, tough greens, more than reasonable rates (Golfnow rate of $45 with cart on a Friday? Unreal) Would absolutely go back there - I just wouldn't eat there ever again. Overpriced, terrible lunches - Rolls were stale and cold, my "Italian Sandwich" was about as Italian as a Guinness...that being said, the wait staff was good, there was just no enjoying the pre-round lunch. One suggestion about the course - upgrade the bunkers- very little sand in any of them.

This is a solid course and well worth the $30 twilight rate I paid. I was glad to play with someone who knew the course. He definitely provided some important insights. Even so, this course is a "quirky" tough layout. There were some really memorable/"unique" holes. #13 is certainly one of them. I liked the back 9 a lot more since it's more open and more straight forward.

The course is by no means perfect. The sandtraps could use some TLC and the greens were a little on the slow side. #7 and #13 are two of the worst par 5's I've ever played. No par 5 should ever be a layup off the teen. #7 I hit 3 straight 4 hybrids to reach the green in regulation. #13 is visually impressive but between the 220 yard layup off the tee and ever present sewage treatment plant it leaves a lot to be desired.

If you're in the area it's worth your time to play. Just don't expect some high-end casino/resort course. This is certainly not a Turning Stone level facility. In fact, I can't help but think at some point Mt Airy is going to completely renovate the course. There's about 4-5 holes that should be blown-up and completely redone. #3, #7, #8, #13 and #16 should be the first to go....

Course was in excellent condition. Elevation changes and tight tee shots on some holes make this a challenging course. Was lucky enough to be paired with an experienced golfer of the course to get some insider knowledge on many holes. Enjoyed it so much I went back the next day!

Mt Airy was a fabulous course and without a doubt the best price on our Spring Training Golf Trip down the east coast and back home via the Appalachians

Very friendly people who went out of their way to make you comfortable.

Course was in excellent shape and a lot of fun to play.

Had a 10:40 tee time and only had a twosome in front of us. 3 1/2 hour round. If possible play with someone who has played the course before as multiple holes had blind shots. Greens were tough if you place the ball on the wrong part of green. Definitely a challenge but enjoyed the course. Sand traps need work though. Restaurant pricy, beer & soda was 8

The layout of this course is fun and challanging.

I nailed this on a Golfnow Friday hot rate of $10. It was a sunny, but blustery fall day. I drove an hour and 20 mins from Binghamton NY to play as a solo, as all my normal golfing buddies were busy. The course was pretty much deserted, with only 5 other cars in the lot. The starter was cordial and I was quickly through the check in process and ready to go. The couple that I was supposed to be paired with asked to play alone, as one of them was a newbie, so the starter sent me off alone on the back 9 first. I was thankful for that and played the back 9 unobstructed in an hour and 20 mins. I made the turn with a wave to the starter and breezed through the front 9 in nearly equal time. The course is beautifully maintained and well designed. This is mountain golf at its best, with lots of elevation change and little room for mistakes. As such, don't expect to shoot your career low round here. I hit the bar after the round and had a sandwich and a couple beer. Staff were courteous and the food tasty. It was a day we'll spent. I'll definitely be back.
