General Old has very nice greens!

My first time at this course. Playing this course was enjoyable. The greens were fun to play, and their conditions were great. The fairways were good for a municipal course. The hazards were mainly hard dirt and rocks. 2 F-16's from March AFB flew over during the round and that was exciting to see. Overall, General Old is a very good value for the money.

Nice lay-out and fairly challenging

We were treated very nicely upon arriving and the course was in good shape. The greens were excellent. We ate in the snack shop and the food was excellent along with the service and good value for your money.

Nice, unhurried round of golf with my grandson.

Course was in good condition for this time of year and our lack of rain. Greens were excellent. Not crowded at all in the afternoon. Facilities were clean and well-maintained.

Overall General Old Golf Course

I play at the Old course every time I get the chance.

No complaints. We have had a couple carts die on us, but no real harm done.

Conditions were moderate, ok value.

Greens were probably 2-3 weeks past aeration and still bumpy and slow. Center of fairways pretty good, fairway sides very patchy.

Slow play, but alright course

If we were the only ones out there I would say the course is with it. But when it takes 5 hours on a saturday afternoon, that really takes away from the enjoyment of the game.

Best value in the IE

General Old is close to home and I've played there several times. It is the best course for the money in the IE in my opinion. The course is in decent shape. The greens were slow due to recent punching. They should be perfect in about two weeks. If you haven't played here, you're missing out.

Course conditions are great

Course conditions are great...!! The greens are the best I've seen in a long time... Great place to play. If the conditions stay the way they are I will certainly be playing there more often... The only thing they could work on is the friendliness of the staff...

An absolutely terrible golf course

Our four ball paid for 18 but we couldn't wait to even finish nine. You'll find better conditions in a farmers cow pasture than General Old GC. Don't waste your time or money playing here. In the hundreds of golf courses I've played I cannot recall ever playing a course as poorly conditioned as this one.

Super Greens

The condition of the greens is outstanding, but that doesn't mean they aren't challenging. There are very subtle breaks that can fool even the best of putters. Overall, this course is a great golfing experience and a great value.

Comfortable course

Great relaxed lay-out with great greens. The course for the most part is a flat lay out with wide tree lined fairways. For the price, especially hot deals is a bargain. For the most part the course is in a fair condition as long as you stay in the fairways. However there is truly no rough accept around the greens. But if you hit wide of the fairways you will get penalized with a dirt lie. The traps are in fair condition. Overall it's a fun course, a classic lay out and there is a great practice facility. The staff is nice and quite flexible. The carts need some improvement, always seem dirty and could use some washing. The food/ bar is a real plus so come hungry and the price is right too.
