Slow Play

Extremely slow pace! The foursome in front of us was hitting numerous balls and was completely oblivious to the course backing up. The hole in front of them was open. I ended up quitting after the front 9. Very disappointing!

Course is in Good condition

In the early season, the course has been in good shape. The pace seemed good, but we played in a little over 4 hours. Phillips Park is a solid choice for golf.

Nice course

They really do a nice job at this course of making you feel comfortable. From the clubhouse to the driving range to the on course beverage cart. This course was in good shape. The greens were quick but fair and you can tell that they take pride in their golf course.

I was hoping for improvement

Last year was a disappointing season for course conditions. There was a major drop off of the quality conditions we’ve come to expect. So far this season the general conditions have slid a little more. The first impression is the practice green. It’s bumpy and there are bare spots. The greens looked to be improving, but are getting back to last year’s condition. The new issue is dandelions. We now have fields of them around the course. Almost all of it is in the rough, but as most golfers know, we spend a lot of time there. It’s never been like this in the 20 years I’ve played there. The retired guys I know continue to play at Phillips Park because it’s the most affordable course in the area.

9. The ranger stated pushing us staying we are 20 minutes off pace

We explained the situation to him and he did not say mic but help

Me out or you may have to skip a hole.

Told home that was not going

To happen. He then called someone down from the clubhouse and that manager stated arguing with us while we

We’re trying to complete our round The skipped back a bit after that but kinda ruined our round. Nobody was behind us for a the remainder of the round.
