Links O'Tryon

I found the course much improved since my last round there about two years ago and enjoyed the afternoon. A lot of work has been done and looks like it continues to be done to bring the course back to what it was years ago.

Unfortunately, play seemed very slow even though most of the groups ahead were twosomes. Rangers were on the course but there is little they can do when the course is full. That being said, we still finished near the target time posted in the carts of four hours ten minutes. The weather was nice and the company good so it worked out fine.

The ranger/starter was very friendly and helpful. The same can not be said for the assistant pro or staff working in the pro shop. (The pro was giving a lesson on the range.) Either he has zero personality or our being GolfNow customers left him with little interest in welcoming us so we might spend money in his shop or the grill. Bad choice because we came prepared to do both and did neither.

I still recommend the course for GolfNow customers. The positives of the course outweighed the void in the pro shop.

Picked a T- time on last minute whim and joined up with great group. Enjoyed the round and the day. Weather was excellent and course was in good shape.

Decided to play late in the day went on golf now and got a great rate. The course was in good shape other than the greens were the slowest ever played on like Velcro.

Would like to play again the fairways are great if they would cut and roll greens would be a great track.

One will like the cost, layout, and staff attitude a time or two around the track, but frustratingly eventually write the course off a "favorites" list simply because of the slow greens. I've played all around North America and declare these the most consistently slowest greens I've encountered, and this is over a period of nearly 30 years infrequently playing this track. It's just a joke to have to make a full body turn on a putt just to get it to the hole (even on a downhill putt). The Bermuda greens are "tough" to avoid "losing" them to heat and heavy play, but they are simply not "cut and rolled" enough to satisfy even the most moderate-minded decent putter (it's as though you're penalized for hitting the ball on the green, and I've witnessed more than one 4 putt from within 25 feet).

Go once or twice to fairly appraise the layout (which forces variety of tee clubs), but the greens will have you "shaking your head" after each round.

My brother, my 2 grandsons and I enjoyed this course very much. Staff was super nice.

I've been wanting to play this course since it opened in the 90's and just something always came up. Well, let me tell you that it was worth the wait. I finally played it yesterday and loved it. Pulling in you see a nice clubhouse that house that English/Irish/Scottish look to it. Walking into the clubhouse was met with a very friendly hello and welcome. Played using the golf ap, Golfnow for $31. What a deal! The course is short from a yardage standpoint but the choices it gives you are fantastic. Haven't used this many different clubs in a round of golf in a long time because of choices and strategy. The conditions were very good for this time of year. Maintenance personnel were on the course working which is nice to see. We enjoyed every hole so much we did a replay (only $15). Fantastic course, people, cold beer, and fun. I can't wait to return for another 36 holes!!

I played here for the first time recently. First, I thought the architecture of the holes was outstanding - beautiful with an interesting variety. It's built in a development, but the housing isn't intrusive. There are a lot of woods, mature trees and water. I'm a walker, and liked very much that walking is allowed anytime. HOWEVER... I would take a cart next time. The front nine is good for walking, but the back less so - largely because of a couple of very long walks from green to tee. Your walk from 13 green to 14 tee is over 400 yards (I paced it)... and there's another walk on the back that's about 300 yards. It's doable, of course, but it breaks up the flow of play. The cost to play with a cart is just a few more dollars than walking, so that's good - but I still like walking. Hard to judge the condition of a course this early in the spring - but the greens were very good, and that's the most important thing. There were a couple of greens on the back nine with significantly longer grass than others - perhaps because of the water or sun conditions there... would be nice to see more consistency. The cost to play is very reasonable. I will definitely make the trip more times to play here, despite that it's about an hour from my home...

Great layout, early year conditions, so very good. Greens rolled true, I enjoyed my time.

wonderful greens, fairways Bermuda and not in yet but still great condition for time of year.

I arrived about 10 minutes late and was told I could not play because there was a tournament going on. No apologies, rude pro shop and no offer of a raincheck or anything

I gave it a one star rating due to the extreme rudeness of the pro shop and extremely unprofessional customer service. Not to mention I drove over an hour to get there.

Fairways are starting to come in. Greens were in good shape. Great day.

This was our first time on the course, BUT NOT OUR LAST. We had an excellent experience. Staff is great, course is in great condition.

Very nice course with great improvements over recent years. Can't wait to play it in summer when everything is green and in bloom. Should be beautiful!

This course is a beautiful layout that is a bit off the beaten path. Great value for the price. Well worth the drive to get there.

Haven't played here in a couple of years and had forgotten how much fun this course is. Pretty open but still a challenge. Greens were great for this time of year.

Would recommend to all!

We played from the blues which is one box forward. Be prepared to need to work the ball in both directions, especially right to left as a number of holes have trees lining the left side of the fairway with the tee box on the left as well. Good luck on the green. They roll true, but fast with lots of slope. You will have at least one 3 putt....per side. There is not a lot of protection from the wind so you might want to work on stinger and punch shots at the range if it's windy. A great, humbling challenge.

Greens were in good shape. Grass was sparse in the fairways.
