Course is great
Course is in great condition . Carts could use a tune up but all in all a great afternoon
Phillips Event Center
The staff is very Freindly, you can often times find good deals to play here. My biggest complaints are the greens are very inconsistent, the pace of play is very slow mostly due to over booking , and some of the trees really need to be trimmed.
Great course, great value!
This course is very nice, moderately challenging and affordably priced! Well developed trees make the fairways easy to read and you can always tell where you are shooting, only up to you to get it there! Best course I've played at for the price.
Great course for everyone
It is a tough course, but really makes you improve your game. Great rates and fantastic people that play there.
Decent round of golf and good value for the money.
This is good municipal type of course. Tree lined so some shots can be a little tight.
Overall the course is in decent shape but they have let the green goes compared to the shape they were in a month or so ago. Greens are super bumpy, inconsistent, and very weedy.
Municipal
Course was in good shape for the time of year. Worst part is slow play. Groups of 4 that won’t let anyone through.
Best Municipal
This course became the municipal after the other shut down. If you're in College Station and don't want to pay a fortune, play here. It is a challenging course that requires straight lines and solid play. If you're not a pro, you will still enjoy the game.
Would not recommend
Course is cheap yes. Their driving range is irons only due to them not buying enough area and are putting nets up. They have city workers on the course everyday. Have been for months. The greens had leaves on every hole. Not blown off. Course has terrible drainage. Right before the green your ball is doomed if you miss short. Fairways are narrow and have trees on every hole. Due to it being around an development not open at all. I gave the city course one more chance to see if they had put anymore work into the course and they have not. Go to Texas am instead much better course than the city course.
Great place to play, very friendly staff!
The course has some issues in the bunkers and is very narrow but its always a fun time.
Challenging Layout for sure !
Interesting layout with very few straight holes. This course requires a good bit of shot making and creative thinking. Pay close attention to the opening holes on each side. The course was in relatively good condition and the greens putted very well. Its a fun course that will keep you on your toes.. I'll be back for another round that's for sure. Thanks Golf now for a great rate and good time
Extremely Slow play
I'm not sure if it was because it was a Sunday, but the play was extremely slow on the front 9. Waiting ten minutes or so to tee off between holes. I've played here before and never had this slow of play.
Good pace of play
Was able to play quickly with limited interruptions.
Slow play by one group
This is a nice course that one can typically play quickly during the day. However, if you get stuck behind a senior group of 5 men and they won't let anyone play through, it can slow down. These guys played so slow, it took 15 minutes between shots for the final 4 holes. The first 14 holes took 1:30, the last 4 holes took an hour.
Course with a lot of potential.
I’ve played this course countless times because of the good pricing. The course is a typical tree-lined fairway country clubs. Your only obstacles, hazards, or things to worry about on every hole are trees. You’re often punished for good shots here because of the overwhelming amount of trees on nearly every single hole. You can hit a ball in middle of the fairway and not have a shot at the green because of the trees, and even being a few feet off of the fairway, or even on one of the edges of the fairway on any given hole is essentially a stroke penalty because there is no room for recovery shots here, just pitch outs into the fairway. I’ve played here a ton and the pace of play has always been pretty bad. No one ever wants to group up and pretty much no one ever wants you to play through. If you’re a solo player you’re better off at the campus course. Lastly, you’re left guessing on most approach shots as to how far you are. There are no 150 used poles, just faded spots on the fairway somewhere that you’re either left driving around looking for, or you can never find it. Sprinkler heads very rarely have yardage’s in them. I don’t like using range finders so I was left guessing how far I was a majority of the time because of poor yardage markings. Grass in great condition all over course though. Greens were in great shape all around.
I like challenging courses in the sense of trying to make recovery shots, avoiding hazards, elevated/ de-elevated greens, and saving strokes with your short game, but there’s not room for much of that here. If you’re incredible off the tee and can place the ball exactly where you want it in the fairway, you might like it, but if you like to save strokes on your game through wedge play and recovery shots, you’re going to have a rough time.
Great course, slow play
It's a great course to play during the week, but try to avoid the senior groups playing skins. They will not allow playing through, no matter their pace. I had to play the front twice.
Looking for a challenge
decision making course (go long, layup, go for the flag, play it safe, straight putt or not). The course is filled with natural obstacles that could keep you from gripping and ripping. You go there and you will be mentally challenged...very nice course!
