The Jay & Lionel Hebert Municipal Golf Course

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.

This course is your best bang for the buck in the area, the course is well maintained, greens were a little soft but looking really good, only a couple greens had some bare spots, ended up getting stuck behind a group of 3 kids, took a couple holes before I finally told them I’m playing through, other than that it was worth the 30 for the round

THE GRASS ON THE GREENS WAS PRETTY THICK AND EFFECTED THE ROLL. FAIRWAY GRASS WAS ALL DRIED OUT FROM THE FREEZE.GOT BEHIND AN OLDER GROUP OF SIX WITH FOUR PLAYERS WALKING. NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT BEFORE OR HOPE TO EVER AGAIN. PAIRED UP WITH A GUY WALKING ON THE 14TH TEE AND WE HAD TO WAIT ON EVERY SHOT FOR THE REST OF THE ROUND. THE GUY I PAIRED WITH IS THE HEAD OF MAINTENANCE. HE MENTIONED THEY HAD A NEW GROUNDSKEEPER AND TO GIVE THE COURSE A FEW WEEKS. I LIVE JUST THREE BLOCKS AWAY AND CAN DRIVE BY TO VIEW NEARLY HALF OF THE GREENS TO CHECK THEIR PROGRESS

Course conditions nice overall for a municipal. Fairways and tee boxes were in excellent shape. Greens weren’t to bad only a few holes that were a little rough. A lot of walkers, who wouldn’t let carts play through. Took over 2 hours to play front 9 with two people.

Been playing here for years, normally a very good experience. I’ve been bringing my son with me to play as well for around 2 years also. Booked and paid as normal and when we arrived they told me my son can’t ride on the cart with me anymore “due to liability reasons” I explained that we’ve been doing this for a while and have done it more than a few times and they just sent us away. I then asked for some sort of refund because they have been letting us do this before which is why I paid in advance, and all they did was point at a phone number to golf now and say there’s nothing they can do. I then asked why they have been letting us do this before and the response to that was “we were just letting it slide, but now we can’t”. Just overall not a good way to conduct business. Rules are rules and that’s ok with me, but the fact that these “rules” can be removed or turned a blind eye to some times and other times not is 100% not okay. Had this been a clear rule and enforced properly every other time over the years that we’ve gone the expectation would have been set and this would not have happened. Very disappointing too at the lack of customer service when looking for some sort of resolution to this very unfortunate situation that I found myself in. Also the lack of empathy towards a child that was just excited to enjoy a ride in the golf cart with his dad like he has done multiple times before, he is now confused asking “why do they not like me there anymore”. I would not want this to happen to anyone, and that is the purpose of this review.

Greens still need a LOT of help. Pace of play was super slow. Two of us got stuck behind 2 fivesomes that wouldn’t let us through. I called a “Marshall” and he said he couldn’t do anything since he wasn’t the boss. Umm ok lol!
