Nice greens, the rest of the course needs grass. Staff needs help with tee sheet.....groups of 5 (walking), 6, 4, 2, 2, 4 all waiting on each shot...

Tee boxes had not been cut in a week, grass in fairways was very, very, very spotty. Greens were nice and the layout is fun, a lot of potential if they would put another 20 minutes of water into it each day. Pace of play was very good considering the cluster of bad groupings. We arived an hour before our tee time and they had us wait because they had a "few more groups ahead of us". I sat and watched an empty tee box for 30 minutes before asking if we were good to go and told that we could "fire away". We played the first 5 holes in about 45 minutes (we were just 2 and had a good streak of finding each shot) then we caught up to a 4 some that never waited after putting out or waived us up on a par three to let us play through. Annoying, but they were obviously locals that knew the course and played fast We finished the front nine in about 1:30 even waiting on each shot for the last 4 holes. Very quick pace. Then the back nine came and at about hole 11 we saw a group of high school golf team members waliking in a 5-some two holes ahead. I am all for kids playing, but 5 walking on a public course at 11 seems stupid. Then we saw the group of 6......yes, 3 carts with two players in each cart, behind them and two group ahead of us.....back nine took 2:45 minutes and there was not a hint of any staff monitoring the pace of play or the groups playing together on the course. The 6 did not even bother pretending to break into two group coming up 18 and all 6 of them putted out right next to the club houses and then walked in and sat together at the bar, no one on staff said a word to them. A real shame, a fun little course that is playable and could be so good with a tiny bit of management. A little more water and someone that cares about pace of play and course etiquette could really turn this into a gem.

Be prepared to wait.

I know its winter but the front was pure "hard pan"; the back was a little greener. Play was atrociously slow--no marshall--and we waited after nearly every shot. It appears everybody stops for lunch at the turn and we all wait in line. Frustrating.
Greens are in good shape and a real challenge with a few really tough pin placements.

Well supplied Pro Shop and BAR. Good Food.

Course is well maintained. It could be much better if some of our fellow golfers would take the time to fix their divots on the greens! What happen to fix yours and at least one more when on the green. Enough venting.
General Old is one of my favorite courses and is really shiny since the remodel. The entire building is first class and the staff including the kitchen staff are always friendly.
Keep up the good work.

Season made grass brownish

Everything was good except for the young kid at the check-in counter. He has no people skill at all. We paid at the front desk and he did not even gave us keys for the cart. When we asked him for the keys of the cart, he asked us back "do you need carts?" We booked at Golfnow.com and says carts included. He asked us what time is our tee time and we gave him both our teetime and names according to what we always use at Golfnow.com. and yet asked us so many questions like haow many are you where in fact we all four were there standing in front of him, which of course we already told him. He sounded so sarcastic everytime he talked to us. Not sure his name was but seems to be Tim. He even started us late, approximately twenty minutes from our teetime. One thing good was the Marshall, he was more of an elderly guy which started us immediately as he could. Very kind and professional. We had a great short conversation a hole 1. He even came out somewhere at the back nine to see how we were doing. Overall, it was a great experience except for that young guy that I think the golf course management should put him somewhere away from customers.

Great place to hit a round for golfers of all skill levels.

Very open and friendly staff, other players here seem to be relaxed and not pushy, the course is somewhat challenging, nice and long for long ballers, the greens were outstanding!

I do wish the fairways were a little better quality, but for the price it has been a nice place to play.

Nice course

Old general is a nice course. The wide open design is nice for people like me who have massive hook shot. You can drive your ball far off the fairway and not have to worry about being on some other hole. The condition of the grass is fair. The bunkers are nice and raked. I love playing the Old General.

General Old Delivers

I have playing General Old for many years. The course has historically been in fairly good shape but it has had it's up and downs. Right now the greens are in very good shape. The fairways are in OK shape but some bare spots are starting to appear and need attention. The sand traps are also in need of some fresh sand as there are many of them. They have only a thin layer of sand over the underlying dirt. Overall I would recommend as of today.

Best bang for your buck in the IE!!

Booked a mid-day Saturday tee time at the last minute and surprisingly found the course not too crowded, thus my round took less than 3.5 hours. Greens are in excellent shape, but the fairway grass in several spots, looks winter-challenged, but still very playable. The staff, as I've always experienced, was very accomodating.

Open field, forgiving, and fun practice course

I've been golfing here for year now, and the course I always up and down but ultimately it is really fun to play. Some of the best greens, and really good looking club house, but they shouldn't have started to raise the golf fees because they might have reconstructed the club house, but the course is still the same... Maximum value to play and feel like you weren't robbed, $35 bucks, you pay anymore and you might feel like you could of played elsewhere and actually seen a well kept beautiful green course. Still love this place...when price is right

Fairway is not maintained nicely.

I live not a far from this course but I would not go there and play golf often. The first reason that I do not want to be there is, they do not know how to greet to customers- starting from Kikki. The second, fairway is bad. Third, all the players that I played with the day said, Tee box areas are just about all very uneven-I thought the same. I select General Old Golf Course if there's no other similar choices.
