Joseph M. Bartholomew Golf Course

Greens were not only resanded but had many dead spots on them. This was not shared during the booking of the tee time. Someone should have said something so we can make our own decisions about playing or not.

Greens are the worst I’ve ever seen them. And God forbid that alarm goes off, you are going to get yelled at by an angry security guard with no explanation if you keep trying to play. I guess it’s a lightning / safety issue? Still don’t know because they wouldn’t actually explain anything when we asked. Just yelled at us to get off the course. But if you don’t mind being treated like you’re a troublesome teenager rather than a paying customer, this course is for you.

Great experience for a great price. I will be back!

They made me buy a rental set even though I was scrambling with a friend. 50 dollars for 20 year old clubs….

Great course’ Great staff! They have a few greens that are in bad shape. Other than that a great place to play

The group ahead of me did not have course edictcy .being that I was one person playing by myself they would not wave me through so it really threw off my rhythm.

When I played Friday I left something in the cart that was very valuable to me. As expected it was in the pro shop waiting for me. The staff has alway made the day a great experience. I played a round with one of the starters. We had a great round even though we didn’t play our best.

I will preface this by saying that we had 0 tee times in front of us and 0 behind us for a while. The pace of play was an easy 10/10, given we didn’t feel pressured from a group in front of behind us. A storm rolled through the night before and the greens and course soaked it up very nicely. Bunkers were soaking wet but that’s expected and actually very well maintained otherwise. Greens were a little shaky. About 4 holes had greens with some pretty big obstacles in them (holes, etc.). I’d say course conditions 7/10. Fairways were absolutely pure. Looked and played great. Would definitely recommend this place to someone. 8/10

All fairways had grass, full coverage. Good feel while attempting iron and fairway shots.

Greens also full, lush greens (great green color saying healthy greens). They were rolling well and at a good speed.

Nice to play course looking green and lush!

This is hands down the worst course i’ve ever played in my life and i’ve played a lot of bad courses. I’ll start with course conditions - absolutely awful. Multiple out of bounds zones on multiple greens. Just big patches on the green that are unplayable. Giant dirt patches all throughout every fairway. The greens themselves are hard as a rock and insanely fast. Pace of play was horrid- they have endless singles going out ahead of each other without pairing them it makes no sense. so it’s insanely slow and there’s always someone hitting up on you. it looks like it hasn’t been tended to in years. This sucked. Don’t waste your money.

This course has a nice layout, by could use a bit of attention. Some areas of most of the greens were not in good shape. The fairways & Tee boxes were ok. I like the course and hope it gets in better condition in the near future.
