Links O'Tryon

I have played Links of Tryon many times, but was first time using Golf Now. Was a good experience, was easy after I got registered on the site.
I will use Golfnow for sure in the future !
By the way the course is getting much needed upgrades, I like what they are doing. The new Zoyza greens are getting very good, and will only get better.
Hope to return very soon !

Greens a crusty, but overall a value for the money

Last time I played this course was early summer. The greens are in great shape. Most of the bunkers have been filled in with soft sand. Fairways were in excellent shape. It's a work in progress. They've redesigned a few holes and just recently laid sod. Way better shape than it was in the summer. I got a hot deal for only $10 so you couldn't beat the price. Only issue is that hole #9 they had equipment in the middle of the fairway. Expected since they were redesigning the hole. Also becareful on hole #10. If you push it right it'll get lost in all those leaves.

Links has had a tough time in the last year but you can see the efforts to bring the course back into shape. The new greens are excellent and they're working hard to get the bunkers back into shape also. It's a good deal with some discounted tee times. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the course looks like next spring.

The layout is very interesting. When the new grass settles in, it will probably be great. I'm from the Philadelphia area and I never played on Zoysia grass. I lost 3 balls just off the fairway because the ball would just settle to the bottom. My playing partners who were locals were even complaining about it. It also felt fake, like astro- turf. (Give me bent grass any day)... Its a very hard turf. Difficult to figure out the grain. I was even told there is no grain, but I dont believe that due to how the putts reacted at different times. I know this sounds negative, dont take it that way though. It was an above average course and I would definitely play it again. Golfing in the south is just very different than up north.

Played this course many times over the years and it is always in great shape.

This course has many beautiful holes. The greens roll great and are very challenging. One of my favorite upstate courses.

Enjoyed playing The Links, looks like they are getting the course in good shape, would suggest giving it a try.

very good vaule really enjoyed until turn lot of people must have started on the back still enjoyable

The course has a good layout but needs some work. The bunkers are horrible. The greens are in good condition for being relatively new.

Course in great shape as usual. Only gripe i had was the greens were fuzzy, but its the time of year they dont cut as short. Made the putts very slow compared to last times i played there. Great value for the price.

Over all pretty good course. Just put down new Greens a couple of months ago, but there coming in well. The worst part are the bunkers, they need lots of sand. Nice layout of holes, very good for not so long players.

We were late for our tee-time on a Sunday (bad planning combined with bad traffic). Even though they had a tournament, they were great about getting us out in a reasonable time. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the course was in good shape. Definitely a place we'll go back to .

This was my first time to play @ the links it was a beautiful setting for a afternoon of golf

Course has new greens which are playable but probably a month away (Oct) All the sandtraps were under repair which I think should have been noted under the course description. A nice course when the above issues are resolved, pretty forgiving except they let the rough get to US Open like conditions. Not sure why but it made play a lot slower having to look for your ball every-time it was off the fairway or around the greens. Some places it was 8 inches deep.

Would have rated 5 stars, but bunkers were under construction and closed.

I partially blame myself for getting stuck with this experience. I used the course web site to base my choice for the course rather than use Golfnow customer reviews. After a two hour drive to get here with my wife and son, we found dead greens, bunkers mostly empty or completely empty of sand, most tee boxes hadn't been mowed. There had been a great deal of rain recently but there wasn't any evidence that any attempt to improve playability had been done. We were all very disappointed for the price they charged. I learned a valuable lesson, READ CUSTOMER REVIEWS BEFORE YOU DECIDE.

they are going to replace the greens after the 4th, but they already killed all the grass on the greens. they also are not telling this, so when you book online you will be in store for a surprise. do not play this course foe at least a couple of months.

I played last week, and brought my wife back yesterdat to enjoy the great mountain views along with the beauty of the course.

The staff was fantastic. The course was great from tee box to fringe. The greens were a little rough but did not take away from a very enjoyable round of golf. Pace of place was very good - 4 hours for 18 holes. One thing that was interesting was that some par 4s were restricted to cart path only (not just that day but printed on score card). I will be back and will recommend to friends who are looking for some mountain golf.
