Links O'Tryon

This course used to be a hidden gem. It was a bit of a drive, but what you got for $29-$30 on a Saturday morning tee time was exceptional. Out of nowhere they started charging $40+ to play here. It's not worth driving almost 45 minutes outside of Greenville city limits to play this course for the same price as premier courses in the heart of Greenville.

The round - Course has true greens and the fairways are decent. Several holes feature bare spots and some eye sores, again, not what I'd want to pay $40 a round for. The pace of play was good, everybody was kind and willing to let others play through. The weather was great that day.

Staff - Very friendly. Minus one groundskeeper who thought he had a badge on. Apparently the 90 degree rule doesn't apply to the 11th hole. He followed us from 11-12th to make sure we were following his demands. Aside from this guy, everybody was top notch. Including the bar staff at the turn, very friendly and willing to help.

Overall - My group spends a good amount when we golf. We usually have drinks at the turn, and after the round. We certainly don't pinch pennys, but I can't get past spending $40 to drive so far out of the way. The course was priced perfectly at $30. I don't think I am coming back until they are able to come down to that price.....

The layout was great and the Pro Shop and Restaurant were very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were there on a hot dry day for May, it was almost 90 degrees and the course was very hard and dry, the ball would bounce 20 feet in the air off the middle of the fairway. The greens were very dry and patchy and needed work, the putting was tough. But I like the layout, it had water in allot of places and the greens were hidden and sometimes sunken. It would play well for low scores for long hitters. Overall very nice but they need rain, we'll play there again even though its about an hour and 15 min drive.

There was a time when this was one of the premier public courses in the county, but those days have long past. They greens that they just installed a couple of years ago are half dead. The staff were nice enough, but the pace of play was absolutely atrocious. There is zero course etiquette, and zero enforcement of pace from the starter. After it taking over an hour to play three holes on the back, I just left. A three hour pace for nine holes is inexcusable, and I will not be making the effort to drive back out here. I'd rather overpay to play elsewhere.

The Links suffered through some time of neglect but seems to be on the mend. The greens roll true though some are a little splotchy; the fairways are in good shape though some rain would help fill them out . Tee boxes are all right and there are sufficient choices so that you can choose a comfortable length to play. Not the least to recommend the Links is its location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, which provide delightful eye candy as you enjoy the course. The friendly, accommodating staff and tasty snack bar contribute to a good day of golf.

I've played there for 25 years on a very irregular basis. Most of my play at Links was from '92 to 2000. It was one of my favorite courses in the whole county. They had the best greens around and the layout was great. Hadn't been there in the last several years and was really looking forward to it. It was sad - they've virtually lost several of their greens. Cart paths are in rough shape. Hope they get it back but not a very good course at moment.

I had just never played here & always wanted to. No one was one the course due to a HS Tournament finishing up. Very straightforward layout. No huge trouble. Very nicely kept. Greens had been freshly dressed with sand- so they were not at optimum conditions the day of my visit. I will be back soon to play again!!

Besides being a great value this course provides challenges and fair greens that make for a very enjoyable round of golf. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants a great golf day.

First time playing this course. Holiday weekend so naturally somewhat crowded, but we moved at a fair pace. Early spring, grass is still sparse in fairway. Should be end of April, really green. Greens are excellent, lots of slope and roll of greens, but putt true. Really looking forward to a return trip soon. Fantastic layout. Now have a sence for couse layout. Some hidden shots, need to ride out fairway and look at your target area. Take time to walk to green and look at a target for pitch shots. Wish there was Red, White and Blue flags for green depth. All Black and White flags. Still a pleasant day of play.

It's my first time to play here. Great course and very friendly staff as well. The course is under very well management and maintenance. For sure I'll come more often while I staying here.

It is always fun to play here. The conditions, even in mid-winter-were good enough to have confidence in fairly consistent put speed and the fairways were fine though the grass was dormant. The fairways are very generous, and the course is not very long, but the greens are well protected and will require a good short game. Great value for the money and the course employees are always friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed the course thoroughly. Greens were fast and well taken care of. Impressed with the overall condition of the course especially considering the cold and rainy weather in the past two weeks during which other courses have really slacked off in green management.

Every hole was different and the greens were consistently firm even with all the rain the night before.

We played Links O Tryon after several days of rain and the course was in surprisingly good shape. The grounds crew have done a great job of keeping the fairways clear. The greens were also in great shape. The bar in the clubhouse is always a welcome stop after a round. The bartender was very nice and a welcome addition.

Greens have gotten a lot better since early summer! Really happy with what Links Staff has done improving course! Course was really busy but I suppose that is a good sign!

Thanks

The blue tees are challenging (there is a big difference between blues and whites) and the staff was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating.

Nice course. Maint crews were all over keeping the course up. Very dry and slow greens. I would play again.

Fun layout. Greens need some better treatment. Would go back again due to low greens fees and fast play

The greens are in poor condition - very scarred - and difficult to putt.

The staff was very nice. The golf coarse was as expected except it appears the have had major issues with the greens. The Links of Tryon is a favorite, we look forward to the greens improving.

I enjoyed the course but am handicapped and half of the holes are cart path only which is unusual for that many to be designated that way on a course that offers carts.
