Village Greens Golf & Country Club

Course was in overall good condition. Greens were fast as usual.

The greens are quick, and the hotter it gets, the safer you better play them. This is a challenging course for me personally. Played it 3 times now and still have no shot at breaking 90, and I holed a 70 yard chip for eagle today..

Overall this is a very nice course. The staff was very friendly and the club house is nice (more about that at the end of the review.) It was a very cold and windy day so it would be interesting to see how it plays in different conditions.

I am giving it 3 stars because of the condition and speed of the greens. I don't mind fast greens when the greens are in excellent condition and these greens would be challenging if they were in excellent condition (because of pretty sever breaks on many holes) but with the current condition of the greens, you will add strokes to your game quickly.

As one of my playing partners stated "It's like putting on cement." And he has played this course many times before so the fact that he felt the greens needed to be addressed is just a bit more insight.

Not sure if weather is the reason for the glassy greens but it took away from the enjoyment of the round. At the end of the round the starter asked how I played. I said "OK but I had never had so many 3 putts" to which he replied, "Well, don't feel bad, the greens were running 12 on the stimpmeter today." Wow, that is championship/tournament speed. As a comparison, Oakmont is famous for the fastest greens at 13-15.

On the bright side, the fairways were in great condition. You do get some nice role but the fairways are lush enough so that they can also grab your ball if you are laying up (expect, of course on a sever downhill grade).

It is an interesting course that makes you think about shots because there are lots of elevation changes and many fairways slope one direction or the other (e.g., right to left or left to right). Also, given the slope of some greens you really need to put the ball in the right spot.

Forward Tee Note:

This insight is for those playing the forward tees. Some of the holes from the forward tees are odd distances. One hole (I think it was 8) is clearly a hole the course staff is trying to figure out. They tried to make it easier by moving up the tees but in doing so the carry over the creek is 150-160 and the average female golfer can't carry it that far (especially in the wind). The other option to layup is odd because you can't hit more than a short iron given the fact the fairway slopes severely downhill before the water. Normally I would have tried to carry the creek but because of the wind, I hit a sand wedge 50 yards and it still rolled into the water. So, it looks like the original forward tee would be much better distance to layup (but of course too far to carry). The other woman in my group plays the course a lot and said she would rather hit from the original tee box.

Also, there were a few other holes that clearly would benefit from the tees moving up. Again, the woman I played with noted a few holes where she felt they should move the tees up. But these issues should not keep a short hitter from playing the course, just be aware a few holes may be a bit long for you.

The course does have really forward tees (orange tees at 4055 yards) for juniors but too short from an enjoyment standpoint, in my opinion, for an average female golfer.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the review the staff is wonderful. The clubhouse is really nice (much nicer than a lot of public courses I have played). It has a great patio to relax and enjoy a drink and meal after your round. You also pass the clubhouse at the turn and they have a great selection of food/snacks.

The course also has a driving range and putting green conveniently located right by the clubhouse and 1st tee.

Golf now patrons still treated like the plague greens hard . Fairways side by side look out for balls all the way thru cousre

The Starter was completely lost. He asked my name at least 7 times. He then complained I was playing as a single. At one point we had 8 people, 6 available carts, and nobody teeing off on 1. Many were frustrated with him.

The greens were not in good shape. Maybe they'll get better. I'd play again as I like the layout and the round cost was appropriate.

The course was overall very wet due to the extensive rain the area had the day before so the whole course was much slower than normal. Best value for the money though.

Greens will be true and quick. It did drain well for the circumstances of the last 24 hours in which I played it. It’s not an easy course and the last par 5 is a true 3 shot minimum to the green (it changes direction twice). All that being said, that course whooped up on me for the first time playing it..

Greens are fast,tricky. Read from both sides. Fairways have come in and good lies abound. Great balance in easy and tough holes. Great food when full service returns.

Very nice course played 18 holes after it rains. The drainage on the club was excellent rain seven hours straight the previous night. Quit raining at 7 o’clock. Play at 9:30 The courseWas in great shape

We enjoyed our round and then pace of play was fine! The course was in pretty good shape. There were about 5 greens that were patchy and several tee boxes weren't in great shape. The staff is always friendly and the layout is fun and challenging. I hope that they repair parts of the cart path that are rough.

One of my favorite places to play. Greens are always in great shape as well as the fairways. Course looks way but is very challenging. I love playing there

It has been many years since I played here, and can't remember why. Course was in very nice shape. Fairways and greens were nice, sand was in good shape, not hard packed like others I have been on. I got lucking and got out as a single in front of a couple groups and no-one in front of me. Can't ask for more than that!

Greens were very quick but we'll maintained. Found a few bunkers but they were maintained as well making it easy to get out of. For the money I would highly recommend this course. I will definitely play it again.

First time on this course. Condition was dry and greens were fast and enjoyed the layout.

Was both fair and forgiving thus scoring was possible...

We will go back

Played this course several times. They are doing some updates to.large trees that have fallen or causing issues. Good for the price, and good setup to get a low score. Big plus is it was opening during the covid 19 shutdown.
