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.

Fun!

Had a great time, it's a good test with some nice features on the par 5's, short holes are garded buy bunkers that give you a chance. The fairways are in winter form but are still nice, the greens are in great shape with hidden breaks, over it was a great golf day!

Bad service

I made a reservation for a tee time around 12:30 pm during a week day. I arrived 20 mins. before. And I check in . After waiting for 30 mins after the tee time I went to the desk and the attendant why it takes so long. The attendant admitted that he forgot about me. When manager came to resolve the issue, she was extremely rude, asking where i had purchased green fee and treated me badly. She did not apologize and told me to join a group in seventh hole.

Poor Management, Average course

Have played there at least once a month for the last 5 years and the management just gets worse and worse. Always overbooking even with tournaments. Have to wait on ever shot, never a marshal on the course to keep the pace of play up. It's a shame because the course lay out isn't too bad.

If you want to play this course only go during the week, weekends are terrible.

Really fun!!

The course is in good shape for winter grass.
The fairways look good but the green are great!
This time we played it two weeks in row, early morning 6:45 and it played easy but fun. Then a few holes will bite you.

I really recommend this course!

The course is not as good of shape since I played the course last summer.

The fairway are so dry, is not as great of a shape since I played last few month ago. I don not think they irrigate the course this time of the year, that is why it is so dry.

Quick pace early morning, great greens.

Overall good course, love the greens. Fairway was lacking some attention but not a deal breaker. Will definitely golf the course in the future. Early tee off I've found works best to avoid any slow in play. Really happy with the location and the surrounding scenery. If you don't stay on the fairway it can be easy to lose your ball. Also an easy course to walk due to the flat terrain. The carts and clubhouse have always been well maintained in the half dozen times I have played General Old. I've never used the range but it also along with the putting green looked in good shape
