The Club at Shannondell

Was able to book the round two hours prior to tee time. As a single I played the round. Under three hours.

Wonderfully friendly staff, tee boxes, greens, and fairways all in excellent condition

The course is beautiful. One of my favorites that I’ve played in my 2 years of golfing, but if you’re booking a tee time and see them stacked 8 minutes apart, just pick another course. We teed off 20 minutes late and the starter told us the group in front of us didn’t show, so it should have been more like 30 minutes late. Then we waited at every tee box for the group in front of us. We were hoping to get a full round in before the sun went down and ended up getting through 12 holes in 4.5 hours. Hopefully they actually read these reviews…

This course is always in good shape. The grounds crew does a good job keeping it up. It is usually crowded and it was the day I played. There seemed to be a lot of beginners playing based on how far right of the fairways the drives were going. My playing partner suggested that it’s probably college students. He also said that the crowds are less if you tee off between 12:30 and 1:30.

This is a course I played often last summer during the weeknights, decided to play this past Sunday. The course was very crowded and we were nearly hit with 6-7 shots from other groups. The course layout is decent, although the holes are very tightly packed next to each other, making it easy for a mishit to find another group. The staff was friendly and the bar had good food/drink. The course condition was in good not great shape, but the pin locations were heavily pushed to one side of the green, usually leaving 2-3 feet of space if you were short-sided. I would play here on weeknights, but for the $75 a person price tag and the amount of times we were almost hit I will be avoiding playing here on weekends from now on.

I’ve lived in the area my entire life, and I’ve seen this course go through several redesigns and I can tell you that this is one of the best conditioned courses in the area, and at a tremendous value. And one of the top three walking courses in the region.

We are blessed to have many, many good public courses in Montgomery County and it may not have been designed by a renowned golf architect like Flynn or Ross but it’s an enjoyable day of golf on a well-maintained, challenging layout, what more could you ask for?

Course is in good shape. Greens are small. 2 or 3 shared tee boxes. The course is layed out in a small space. A lot of balls and golfers crossing fairways and shooting from other fairways. Pace of play was slow. A lot of singles and twosomes. If you don’t play regularly it’s not easy to figure out the layout even with GPS. Several dog legs that were 175-200 tee shots. Many players seem to bomb it and just play from other fairways

Conditions were great, greens were rolling nice and the fairways were beautiful. But no exaggeration we had to wait 20 minuets before every hole and shot. Please put a Marshall out there to manage pace of play. I have never played a round this slow, disappointed I paid this much to watch the two groups in front of us hit the ball 20 yards per shot. I am always a patient person but we left after 13 holes because it was unbearable

Be prepared to have some strategy on this course. Plenty of dog-legs. Nice course.

Played this course as a 2 some, was the 2nd group out behind the “regulars”. Had to wait for their 2nd-3rd shots the entire round. Would not let us play through. Would not play here again because of this.
