Beautiful old style course & an unbelievable Hot Deal

Played this course for the second time this season and we really enjoyed it. Last round the front 9 had burned out rough on several holes from the misapplication of chemicals, but it is much improved now and not an issue. This is a very pretty course and the view from the clubhouse overlooking the back nine is spectacular. Each hole is unique and there are no homes intruding on the course. It was a hot, humid day but water coolers were abundant and Sarah the cart girl (who was friendly and cute) kept us refreshed. My only negative comment would be the condition of the bunkers which were hard with not much sand. The incredible $20 Hot Deal included carts, but my cousin and I walked to get ready for an Irish golf trip. It's surprisingly hilly, so we got our exercise and were soaking wet after 18.

Course is still recovering

Earlier this year, there was a maintenance mistake that killed the grass in areas of the rough on the front 9. The course is still recovering. Those areas are hard- you get strange bounces. It's more odd weeds than grass - you get crazy lies. The greens are slow, the slowest I've played this season. I was only in one bunker. It was a combination of dirt, gravel, and sand. We played in 3:50 on a Friday afternoon so that was good. The round cost $21 on Golf Now.

poor conditions and slow play

As stated in previous reviews, course conditions are poor due to over fertilization. The greens have improved but they're still not up to Phillips Park standards. In response to the few people who have graded conditions as good, I'm not sure what course their referring to. Slow play is a new problem. As stated on the score card, the expected time to play 18 holes is 4 hours and 10 minutes. Pace of play has slowed significantly.

Good old Phillips Park

Have played this course numerous times. Great value for a good course. Great variety of holes a couple of short par 4’s and a few long ones. Great closing holes the rolling hill par 5, an elevated tee long par 4, and uphill par 3 and a risk reward shorter par 5. Issues with some of the turf but it doesn’t affect the fairways or greens. I recommend this course..

Will be a great course again…

There was some vandalism on the course that had several areas which were roped off or just plain dirt on fairways. Lack of rain was not helping matters. Beautiful layout and greens were still in decent shape though.

Course in very good shape. Great value for the money

Maintenenacehas improves since the last time I played this course (in may). The fairways seemed to have marks of a hail storm! But the greens are in excellent shape. I will recommend this course to anyone. Yesterday the play was slow because of a tournament

A lot of dead grass

Course needs some love a lot of mesh around greens and no maintenance or watering to grow. Was really backed up on the back nine 16 year old kids playground

Ok course, but...

There are huge swaths of dead grass/mud where we were told that they overfertilized and killed everything. The front 9 was worse than the back. I will wait until 2025 to play there again - when the course has had a chance to recover.
