The overall condition of the course is good

The only thing I dislike is the length of time it takes to play.
My tee-time was 1/2 hour late the pace was slow, no marshall to push slow player to move, disappointed.

Tee boxes were good, fairways were in good condition, and greens were well maintained

This course was really nice. It played a little slow and had no marshalls around. No golf carts roaming the course with beverages either. And, what is up with hole 16 -that hole was a little funky.

Pretty Nice but nothing special

The guy who checked us in, though it was not busy, was unwelcoming. Beautiful day and the guys who completed our foursome were great.

Golf course is absolutely terrible, greens hard dead fairways.

Absolutely terrible greens, fairways grass dead and hard as a rock. Fairways horrible as well as entire course. This course was the worst I have ever seen it. The place is not being maintained at all and it is not worth the money . Looks like a cow pasture and piled up dead grass, no sand and rocks in the sand traps. Anyone thinking of playing here the pass and save the money.

Start late, end later.

The last three times I have golfed at Dad Miller our foursome has started late and moved very slowly with the course taking 5 hours to complete in mid week. Nice change of pace with some interesting holes such as the par 5 fifteenth.

Good

I've been playing this course for 30 plus years and still enjoy it.
I wanted to play this time because I wanted my grandaughter to play the course prior to her playing it before a Jr. PGA Tournament in a few weeks. The greens were in very good condition and the rest of the course looked good for January.

They put too many people on the course to enjoy.

Value of course means nothing to me if it takes 5hrs. to play. Nice people but we won't come back until we know it has been fixed.
Also the greens were terrible. Holes and dead spots all over the greens.

Nice course for beginners not too many ways you can get into trouble

Nice course for walking and riding, mostly flat, wide fairways, little bit of water. Fairways clean, greens well kept considering it's a muni.

Neat for practicing your skills, only problem is too many people and play can be slow 5 + hours common.

Otherwise Ok,

Game Builder

If you're having difficulty with your game, this is a good course to play. It's relatively short with only a few holes to really get in trouble on. It's a good confidence builder. On the other hand, if your game is in top form, it won't be challenging.

Great Time - Open Fairways

This was the first time that I had been to Dad Miller and it was great. The course is fairly easy in that the fairways are wide open. The greens were well maintained and the staff was very friendly. The flow of the game was good. I went on a Sunday as a party of 4 and we were not slowed down by poor or too many groups ahead of us. I will be back here again to enjoy another great round.

Played where Tiger played

I have to say, the course is in pretty good shape. The fairway is maintained at above average for a muni course. The green, is maintained really well. The green speed is a lot quicker than you would expect. The starter was friendly and easy going. The staff at Pro Shop is pretty awesome. The pace of play on Sunday with 8:15 Tee time is about 4.5 hrs. Will come back again.

greens were in pretty good condition; although some had some bare spots and were patchy. Fairways very inconsistent - some in great shape; others need some overseeding. Tee boxes need some help too. Pace of play was very poor - didn't see any marshalls to push anyone - we were hit up on twice - no where to go. 5+ hrs on a weekday? Give me a break.

Course is great - except

Business meetings in the area have us in the vicinity at least once per month. Having played this course before, we were looking forward to a nice round of golf on a beautiful afternoon. What we got was something different. We paid full price for the round - no "hot deal", no problem. We teed off exactly on time - and that was the last time we didn't wait. By the time the round ended, we had spent an exasperating 5 1/2 hours on the course! Was it due to slow play from those ahead - don't know. We never saw a marshall the entire afternoon. On some holes we were the 3rd group in line. I would give the course another try, but I was very disappointed yesterday.
