Bellair Golf Park

I was elated to see that this had re-opened after being closed for 2 years. I have great memories of playing this executive 18 over the last 30 years.

My wife and I are friendly and moderately decent weekend golfers who enjoy getting out.

We've given this several chances, and this last one was horrific.

Here are the pros and cons

Pros:

Greens are good as always. Great layout for the greens and in decent condition.

For the most part, the staff is friendly, With the following exceptions.

The ranger for complaining that we were 2 hold behind, when there was nobody in front of us when we teed off and we were paired with a couple guys who don't play often. He complained twice to us.

There are some reasons for slow play on this course, that are not the fault of the players

1. The bunkers are all out of service, this is fine since we can take relief, provided we can get in and out without doing bodily harm due to the conditions of these big holes in the ground near the bunkers, but that does take a little time to do.

2. The rough was two feet or more in many areas, and you could waste a lot of time trying to locate your ball, often stumbling over it, along with many others that were lost. Maybe a new way to replace their range balls? If you want faster play, then mow the ridiculous rough. we are all amateurs out here and are not always going to be on the fairway.

3. Even the fairways were mottled in many places with puddles and mud all over the place.

THE "Manager" who treated myself and my wife like criminals because we accidently turned into the parking lot at the turn. We are both in our 60s, not children and don't need to be scolded because of a mistake. We know we are not supposed to drive through the parking lot in the cart, it was not intentional, we apologized and he actually wanted us to drive back into the parking lot, and go out and enter onto the side where we were supposed to go, like he was teaching us some sort of lesson. Note that this was after we were already to the 10th tee. Seriously? That guy needs to pull his head out of his ..

Also, I understand that the course is in the process of being redone and it takes time, but they are charging as much and even more that other, FULL SIZE courses that are not in such disrepair. This used to be an affordable family friendly, neighborhood golf course. Sorry, but free bottles of water and someone offering to load your clubs onto the cart do not justify over-charging, even in good conditions.

Needless to say, we won't be going back for some time.

While still needing some work, you can definitely see if they’re actually doing it rather than talking about it. The front of the house is very well done, and the service by staff is exceptional. If they keep up the momentum and put in the same amount of effort throughout the entire course, they will rebuild something that by the regulars was an eyesore. Looking forward to returning..

Extensive major redo of bunkers is being done. Not an issue for me. Overall, the course is in very good condition considering the extreme heat we've had so far. Go and play the course. The price is very reasonable. Played the round in under 3 hours.

Not perfect but you can definitely see where they are actively making improvements instead of just simply talking about it. It’s a great par 59, and pace of play was not too bad. I think we only waited on two maybe three holes for a group that was two in front of us. Given that it was 104, it was a chance to catch up on some hydration and eat a snack as well as maintain equipment. Have already recommended this place to some friends and may be back there this weekend.

Great day, have played this course for years - they are really working to make it better, keep up the great work! Staff is amazing, driving range is great.

Bunkers are in pretty bad shape but otherwise a great course for the value.

Very nice challenging short course with some demanding holes. Slight drawback is that the greens need to be cut but not a dealbreaker!! Excellent value for the money!!!

Fun little par 3 course to work on your iron swings. Wish the holes lengths varied a bit more I felt like I was grabbing the same Club a bit too much

You cannot beat this course for the money. The course is not the best when it comes to perfect greens and fairways but it is priced right for what it is. Super fun Par 3 course.

Nice little course wanted to work on irons. Perfect place for that. Played with some people said that the course is being worked in which I seen. Would play again.
