The Jay & Lionel Hebert Municipal Golf Course

Great Municipal course. The Fairways are in good conditions, but the greens are difficult to read due to the heat and dry or missing grass. Recommend a vending cart in specific holes due to the dire heat.

First, the office was locked when I arrived to check in. Without a starter, singles and twosomes were teeing off whenever they wanted, not adhering to their tee times. The pace of play is slow because they are allowing fivesomes to tee off. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Also, if you are trying to teach a kid to play golf, you tee off later in the afternoon. It seems management would rather take care of certain groups and the heck with the rest of us. I will try to find other courses to play.

Even with the rain during the week, the course was in good shape. The fairways were cut and the rough wasn’t bad. The greens still need some work. If there were a few marshals on the course, I might not have to fix so many ball marks.

This is where I learned how to play golf. This is where a community of good people resides, not just in the staff but in the older and younger people that are there, who are just full of joy. The course is not a top-tier course but they give you what you pay for and more, which is a sense of belonging. Robin, one of the workers there, knows me by name and says hi to me every time that I walk in. I cannot express enough how important and happy that makes me feel. I shot at 93, which was not my best round but it wasn't my worst. It wasn't because of the course; it was because sometimes you're not playing your best. This is a course that everyone can use and it is well kept.
