Almost unplayable

I've played Copper Mill before and loved the layout. Yesterday I drove an hour and a half to play only to find the course almost unplayable. Tee boxes and fairways were very poor with very little grass. The greens were beyond bad....patchy bits of grass, surrounded by sand....no way to putt. We just picked up once on the green. Very upset to have paid good money and never told about the condition of the course. GolfNow should not promote this course or offer it for play.

I thought that the layout was great with a lot of real good holes. Was disappointed in the greens. They either have a fungus or others very heavy with a weed. Would love to play it again if they get the green issues resolved.

Bad day

I usually really enjoy Copper Mill but this time the course conditions were terrible. Greens were probably the worst I've ever played on. They need to get them fixed ASAP. I'll go back, but it'll be a while first.

Greens were unplayable

I was eager to play Copper Mill, which is an Audubon Trail course. However, the course conditions were well below the Audubon Trail standards. Many or most of the traps lacked sand and were rock hard. The wind made it feel like a links test, but the course was soft around the greens, preventing you from playing the ball low. The greens were the major obstacle. They could not be putted, as they were bumpy, thin or bare and could not provide a consistent roll. I was very disappointed.

The staff was outstanding and very helpful. However, the greens were below average, and the pace of play was interrupted by college kids playing slowly and driving on the greens. I do not believe this course is worthy be included on the Audubon Golf Trail.

Fantastic Links Style Course!!!

So in reading the most recent reviews it appears to me that some of these people dont take into account the huge flood that was experienced in this area, nor do they understand winter conditions on golf courses. I spoke with the GM and he explained to me that they are redoing the entire club house and cart barn so it is definitely not a downhill decline as someone said. I play all over the area, and the 6/6/6 hole layout at Copper Mill is hands down my favorite to play. You can really score out here, or if your hitting it bad you can put up a big number. Overall course is beautiful, and would absolutely recommend giving it a go if you haven't.

disappointing to a degree

club was short on carts; had to wait 40 mins for a cart. the bar doubles as the pro shop now. bad, bad idea... most greens were in bad shape but a nice roll otherwise on the better greens. round was shortened by rain but we would've finished and been on our way home had a cart been available on time. Several foursomes had multiple singles in carts in the same group. dress code wasn't enforced; jeans and non-collared shirts on the course. the place is going downhill. I have vendors visiting next month and will consider another course.

Bunkers constantly neglected

The course and greens are in great shape, however if you find yourself in a bunker, you either get lucky and end up with an expected bunker lie, or in a severely neglected area where the groundskeeper simply ignored.

Challenging course

This is a challenging course for all skill levels. The fairways and greens are both in good condition. The sand traps are in need of more sand as they are rock hard and some don't drain very well. If you hit in a trap, good luck. Even the best sand trap players will have difficulty making a save shot. As a long ball hitter, even at age 57, I prefer to play the Black Tees. (I feel like I'm cheating playing the Senior Tees). I could easily shave 5-6 more shots off my handicap. My overall rating of this course is 7 out of 10. I'd given it a higher number if it wasn't for the "Beware of Snakes" sign on Hole 7 and actually seeing a snake slither across the side of the green before my approach shot. The sand traps need much attention. I'll still be going back as its only 2 miles from my home.

Glad it was free.

I played this course on a whim because I had a comp from golfnow.com. From the reviews I read I expected a more well kept course. It was decent but I won't be returning.

Shoveling people for $$$

It took us over 5 hours to play 18. In my opinion that is ridiculous. They let a group of 3 that we're horrible start on #10 as we were making the turn. I would much rather pay $60 to play at a respectable course than $50 and deal with slow play. Not a single ranger on the course. I also wanted to buy a hat after my extremely slow round and the cashier was unable to ring up the merchandise. The place has great potential....let me know when it has improved!

Pretty Decent

I enjoy the course at Copper Mill, but the pace of play this day was difficult to accept. took me 4.5 hrs playing alone. Lots of 3 and 4 somes farting around. Fairly common though, so to be expected on a nice weather day I suppose.

Overall, Copper Mill is decent. A fair challenge and when its dry a pretty good course for the money.

Thanks for playing here at CMGC last weekend, I was glad to see that you enjoyed your day of golf with us.

I know we were pretty busy Sunday afternoon, and as a single it was probably a bit slow and somewhat frustrating, so for that I apologize. The nice weather brought a bunch of folks out in the afternoon and we were pretty busy.

Thanks again for your feedback. We will hope to see you back teeing it up again soon, here at The Mill!

Awesome course

I never played Copper Mill before, I was in town for business and had some time off. I wanted to find a golf course with good value.

I could not have been happier after playing Copper Mill. It's a relatively new course but the greens and fairways were in great shape. Lots of holes with water in play and provides scenic layouts. Fairly challenging but definitely some birdie holes out there.

Only downside is there is no range but it sounds like they're going to build one in the near future.

Not knowing what to expect on my way to the course, I was very pleased driving off after 18 knowing I got my money's worth plus some.

Would go back ten out of ten times, hit em straight.

Thank you for playing here at Copper Mill, I was really glad to see that you enjoyed your day at the club. I was also happy that you thought we offered good value!

We are still working on how to address the unusual issue that popped up this year with the driving range, and hopefully a more permanent solution can be found at some point. Until then, we will continue to utilize the Birdie Ball warm up area.

Again, thank you for playing here at The Mill! We will hope to see you on your next trip into the Capital Area!
