Pace of play awful

Starter was running about 25 minutes behind, 0 people on the back nine however they refused to start anyone there. Pace of play was horrendous. 4 1/2 hours in and we bailed after hole 14. The groups around us were also complaining about the pace. No Marshall to move anything along. Also, went to get food on the turn and everything is “cooked to order, you should have called ahead. We don’t make food in advance because we have no way of knowing how busy we’ll be”. Uhh maybe the fully booked tee times are an indication? Come on man, everyone has Hot Dogs ready at the turn!

Another Visit

same as before

green mostly very nice and receptive

fairways going dormant for winter but nice condition

bunkers need work. especially fairway bunker left side hole 18

tees need work

this course offers lots of challenge but isn't to punishing.

worth the drive, especially for money.

give it a try!!

Poor golf course described as great

This course was anything but good. Me & two friends went to play this course on a beautiful Saturday morning. The course conditions were very poor with the greens conditions laughable. We were told by the course ranger that the course had just been redone and the group involved in the renovation were really trying to create something nice. It was very clear that the renovators just wanted to put a course together with no pride in their work. Fairways were not cut well & the greens had dead spots all over. Not only was the course in terrible shape the course staff was very very rude. We paid for 18 holes but because they had a kids clinic going on we were only able to play 9 holes with no refund. We were told our $40 round was only for 9 holes when online it clearly said 18 holes. It was a slap in the face after playing in such poor course conditions. I would not advise a single person to play here’s unless the price is around $20 for 18 holes. With The course conditions and the staff I would rate this course a .5 star if I could.

Recommend changing course layout

This is a decent course but I am not a fan of the layout particularly holes 3 - 6.

Good day at Somerset Farms

Very nice round, though pin placement on 9th hole was on the hillside of the green - unless you holed your putt, there was no shelf for the putt to stay on, it would roll all the way back.

Dad and Asher

Took my 6 year old for his first experience on a golf course. The condition of the course is much improved over the previous year. I have always loved the layout and I am glad to see the improvements!

Thanks again!

Decent tract

Foursome I played with played from senior tees. Very short, several lay-up holes. Greens tough to hold but fair. Greens also recently sanded and quicker than last time I played.

Fun Course, Good Value

Fun course that's in pretty good shape, given how late it is in the season (late October). There are a bunch of short Par 4s that provide good scoring opportunities if you can keep it in play. Very reachable Par 5 (#8) that'd probably be a Par 4 if it weren't for three crossing creeks splitting thing up. Greens are small-ish but in good shape.
