The Club at Shannondell

I have lived in Audubon my entire life except for a couple years in Spring Mountain and I started playing this course when I was in high school and it only gets better every time I visit. It’s been a tough summer for fairways, but Dave and his crew keep ahead of the root rot and the greens are immaculate. Sure, there are a lot of dog legs, but once you figure out where to put the ball off the tee you can score a great round here.

The course was in good shape. The greens had many ball marks in them, but overall not bad. Wish the carts would have phone charging outlets in them, but the carts ran good. Also, wish the course had a few more directions to the tee boxes. Since this was the first time playing here, we got a little confused as to where we were supposed to go next on a couple of the holes. Would definitely recommend the course to friends and family!

Some tee positions (18 for example) were just ridiculous.

It was our first time in this course. Golf course condition is reasonable. The layout of the course was too complex and confusing. A lot of halls are mixing each other, so, some spots can be very dangerous for the players.

We booked around for two golfers with cart for under $80. Tea boxes definitely could use some work. Fairways were decent. Greens were well kept, but the staggering amount of unfixed ball marks was problematic. I fixed at least 5–6 every single hole. Of course, as well watered on fairways and greens, but some tea boxes and much of the rough area Was pretty burned out.

If you’ve never played this course before, you might be put off by how close adjacent holes are, with Aaron T shots ending up in, and even across other fairways on a pretty consistent basis. That alone, coupled with a lot of older, more leisurely golfers, really had effect on pace of play. Even with that said, we finished the round in 4.5 hours, but it definitely should’ve been under four.

Final word, you get what you pay for, and we didn’t pay much and we had a nice experience. I would definitely go back for that price, but I don’t think I’d be happy if I paid $60 around.

Conditions were good. Pace of play was good. My only complaint is pin placement. Not sure several of the placements were legal. Not much flat area on any of the greens but that does not mean the pin has to be on the side of a hill. Staff is always friendly.

Holes are narrow and short but force you to hit 210 or less off the tee due to doglegs, leaving longer approach shots than a course of under 6000y would normally require. One par 5 requires no more than 200 from the tee, which leaves 260 to the green guarded by a creek forcing another mid iron. The course is gimmicky and requires local knowledge. I prefer courses that are more “what you see is what you get”.

Also there’s no practice green near the clubhouse or first tee. You have to take a ride to an old green to practice.

Very well maintained course. A lot of dogleg holes, pace little slow. Would go back.

I always enjoy playing this golf course. However yesterday, I was kind of disappointed. Not so much in how the Supervisor is keeping up the course, cuz they do do a really good job, but with the jerks that don't fix their divots and ESPECIALLY their ball marks.

If you want your course, which they do a great job with to stay nice, fix your darn ball marks!

Super confusing course layout, constantly losing balls, weird fairways, just wouldn’t go back

I enjoyed my round on Monday. The weather was perfect. I met some nice golfers. It was a great day.

I had a great day. Weather was nice and the greens ran true. I met some fellow golfers and enjoyed their company.
