Merrill GC

Course was in rather poor condition. Many dry or burnt out areas not only in the rough but also on the fairways. I've played this course many times and it usually is in better shape.

Merrill GC

We played this course a number of times before. I like the layout and variety of holes. This time the greens were not good because of aeration sometime prior to our round. They were not holey or sandy but still rather bumpy. They also had not cut the greens prior to our 9:45 tee time. So with the bumps it was hard to hit a straight putt and with the length of grass it was hard to judge speed. I understand course maintenance is necessary, however it would have been nice to be alerted to this at the time of reserving a tee time and/or a slight reduction in the green fee. The pace of play was also slow finishing in 4 hr 15 min but waited on every tee box. We had a 2 some and a 3 some. The group in front of us was a 2some and in front of them was a 3some. With the lack of 4somes it should have played faster. We would have had no problem playing as a 5some and keeping pace.

The greens were just aerated so there was a lot of sand so it wasn’t good putting. A man and boy came from there home on the course on the back nine in front of us and we waited for him to teach his son how to hit. They hit numerous balls so we waited a long time on every hole

Good course for money

The course was in great condition, not many other golfers and weather was perfect. Only improvement would be better marking of tee boxes, especially where tee boxes 4,6,11 and 18 come together.

This course was well manicured.

All the fairways were very lush and well cut. The course is in great shape. Very nice golf course with plenty of tough holes!

thursday golf

The course is really dried out and some of the greens have a lot of dead spots as do some of the tee boxes. some of the tee boxes are so hard you almost need a hammer to get your tee in.
