Tioga Golf Club

Such a great course that I have played many many times. It was crazy to see the lack of mowing of rough and fairways.

Greens were in good condition, but the course was borderline unplayable. We had to search for balls for minutes at a time that became lost even IN THE FAIRWAYS!

I don’t understand how ownership can find that acceptable.

Started out at Jen's Dinner in Nichols. 5 star excellent home dinner. Course has nice electric carts and excellent service. Heavy fog and not playing the course for 10 years made it very difficult to navigate the course without any yardage maps. That would be nice to have.

The rough was very high wet grass. Was a stressful morning.

Everything about this course is awesome... From the carts to the staff. Course layout is extremely unique. Challenging but forgiving. Mike, in the pro shop is as nice of a person as you will find anywhere. Once I told him that I never played the course he gave me a little background on it and literally showed me the course layout. Definitely worth the 70 mile drive. Definitely my new favorite course. Highly recommend to anyone.

Although there were some 'dead/dried out' spots in some of fairways close to the greens the overall condition of the golf course was good. The dual water jugs on hole #11 is very helpful, specially on a hot/humid day. The hot dogs in the pro-shop were pretty good as was the selection of drinks. I would play this course again when I get the chance.

Interesting Lay out as there are 6 Par 3's, 5 Par 5's and only 7 Par 4's. I liked the design of the Course as a lot of interesting holes. The overall course conditions were average at best although the Greens are good. The sand bunkers need a lot of work.

Terrible that there is no practice green.. super hard to find ball even if not that far off the fairway… blind holes need bell or something like it so you aren’t wasting time driving up to see if you can hit

I had payed this course a year ago and really enjoyed it, so was looking forward to the current round but was somewhat disappointed.

Firstly when I arrived, I was told the back 9 was closed due to repairs but was welcome to play the front again since I had already pre-paid. I would've been fine with that but the pace of play was beyond terrible. I found this quite surprising for a 11:40 tee time on a Wednesday afternoon. There were no rangers doing anything to move people along. If anything at least I had no one behind me so I tried replaying some holes in order to let the slow pokes get far enough ahead but to no avail. The twosome in front of me may have well been crawling on all fours. I kept catching up to them. When I finally came back around to play the front 9 again, these same players were still screwing around. I even tried skipping some holes but ran into people just as terribly slow as they were. Finally I gave up after all the running around and quit early. The irony is, as I was finishing I saw people playing the 18th hole and asked them when they opened up back 9. They said it re opened only an hour before I was finishing.

It would've been nice if the course had announced the back nine closing on the website and that it was actually going to reopen later in the day. Bummer...wish I didn't have to get all "Karen." but was sad that I couldn't enjoy the course the way it's supposed to be.

Positives - the pro shop guys were super nice and friendly, the course is beautiful, the weather was great and outside of the terrible pace of play, I hope this was just an off day for them. Hopefully this review will be considered constructive critique and moving forward it will help resolve these issues.

Thanks!

I get that it hasn’t rained lately, but a course with no sprinklers?? The entire course is dry, fast, and lots of bouncing. Greens have pibe cones and sticks all over them and no driving range. For a golf course affiliated with tioga downs, I am very disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, the course is nice and I had a great time there. But a handful of the tee boxes were in poor shape (mud, no grass) and the sand traps were ridiculous (full of rocks and pine cones). There was also a pretty decent sized hole on one of the greens too.

I will definitely go back. The carts were nice, staff was friendly, not a lot of water hazards. Wish the bar and grill had been open but I guess it's a little early in the year.

The course was fine but due to refurbishing cart paths we had to play back nine twice. Tee blocks were good, fairways thin but good, greens excellent, bunkers a tad poor. We will return.
