Porch Ridge

Poor maintenance. Fairways were not in great condition. Bridge was out on 7th which affected 7 and turned 8 into a par 3

They should not charge full price until bridge is back

Tough greens, narrow fairways

Greens very hard to read, most putts had a lot of break. Did not allow enough break on most holes. Small greens . par 3’s quite difficult. Can understand why slope is 126 for a fairly short course.

Excellent Course

Visiting from out of state for the weekend booked a T-Time. Everything was just right. Upon arrival I was greeted by a kind gentleman who took care of everything for me (retrieved the cart, loaded up thr clubs, let me know all about the course). The pace of the each holes was perfect. No waiting. Landscape and scenic views throughout the course were amazing. Just about a perfect experience.

Holes 7-9 lost due to cart path closure

Nine hole course played but when I got to the 7th tee I found the cart path closed. I could not find a way to play last 3 holes so I returned to club house and they gave a rain check for 9 holes. Don’t know why they did not advise about the cart path closure.

Nice 9 holes

Don't be put off by the fact that it is a 9 hole course. It is interesting and fun to play. I always make a point to play there when I am visiting.

Scam operation.

I paid you 2.90 and was supposed to pay 55.00 at the course. Pusch ridge charge me 62.98 at the course and said your charge was a reservation fee. That was a total scam. I would like my money refunded. Won’t play that course again.

Quick 9

My brother in law had a couple of hours to kill before heading back to Maine so we figured we would give Pusch Ridge a play. Great Value!, and quick pace of play. The course employees went out of there way to be helpful and were very nice. There is a practice chip putt area, and 2 hitting bays to loosen up.

Not easy, postage stamp greens, tight fairways, and out of bounds everywhere.

Great views of the mountains as well.

After playing some more expensive 18 hole courses in the area, this was definitely a notch down, but still fun.

The course is walkable, and worth a quick 9.

unfortunate

This is a great 9 hole course. But pace of play was ridiculous -- many holes had 3 or 4 groups. Lots of waiting on tee boxes. AND there is a bridge out on one cart path section that requires long travel on a road. Then the next hole which is a long one has been reduced to a 95yd oar 3. Greens are perfect and lightening fast -- fairways nice. NO RANGER, NO STARTER.

Great!

Staff is always friendly! Pace of play was perfect. Sometimes it gets bogged down from improper spacing between players.
