Galen Hall Golf Club

A bunch of fairways have bare spots. If it rains, it's a swamp. The carts are junk. If you touch the brakes, you'll go through the front windows. Many golfers tore up several holes. The conditions aren't good at all.

A good Robert Trent Jones updated course...contains the first example of a Island holed green...lots of elevation change and if you play it early in the day , the greens run fast..nice course !

Course was extremely wet in some places but I anticipate that may be normal for the area. Interesting layout. Front seemed a bit more challenging than the back. Listen to the club house personnel when they explain about number 2!!

Teed off on a late-morning weekday-off, leading into a holiday weekend and found the course pleasantly uncrowded.

Played through *five* groups of very-nice gentlemen along the way who were kind enough to bring me through every time, with little if any delay, despite my having no standing as a single-player versus their four-ball matches. They didn't have to do what they did, but they helped me finish a very-enjoyable round in not much more than two hours, thirty minutes (with a cart), and that was most appreciated.

The course was in good shape but a bit soggy from some historically-torrential rains on days prior. This was particularly true in low-lying areas, and there are plenty of low-lying areas on this fairly-hilly layout. I suspect those areas will dry back to normal by the time anyone reads this.

Highly recommended if you've suffered from pace-of-play frustration elsewhere.

This was a very fun course. Every hole has character and quirk. No one would design anything like this today, but it’s so much fun. There’s a lot of challenge to traversing the topography, and the par 3’s take that on. They’re very difficult in turn. Overall the vibe at Galen Hall is fantastic, and it seems like they’re investing in improving the course conditions although they were better than I expected already. I drove almost two hours to play it and would definitely do it again.

Course was a lot of fun to play, mainly due to its century-old layout. It had undulations and lots of natural hazards that made it challenging, despite being shorter than most modern courses.

Grew up playing this course and it’s always been known for incredible greens. They lost the greens due to a disease from last summer. Don’t see these greens getting any better unless they re-sod them. A 6” putt is no guarantee

winter golf, course was empty. staff really great. cousre was in decent shape for december. greens were ok, could not chip on as the greeens were frozen like concrete, so bump and run was the way to go. the greens here are challenging any time of the year.

I wish they had told us they aaerofied , needed to finished with some sand. Otherwise great course
