Worst Ever

I have played this course when in pristine conditions and poor conditions. This time the course was absolutely terrible. Fairways were a mess, greens were like putting in my back yard. The entire course was a trainwreck. I hope something happens to make it better....maybe turn it into Condos? Staff is still great (but I wonder why they stay).

Greens - ugh

Almost every green was a bumpy nightmare. Got to the point that anything within 4 feet was a gimme - making those putts was just pure luck.

More important things

I'm a newer golfer. I'm the bane of the regulars existence. I'm the idiot who can lose 9 balls in 9 holes. I've got 4 months experience and a ton of ambition. Lees hill is why I'm improving.

The greens are kind of a mess. It takes 5 seconds of review to see that.but where lees hill shines is the people and experience. I've never met a miserable person, I've never had a bad staff interaction, I'm considering spending good $$ to be a full member here. I'm good on some rough greens to.have a welcoming experience, with chill people just enjoying golf.

So yeah, stay away (wink)

What greens?

The greens were so bad that we had to play 2 putt limit. The bunkers were equally as bad. I know this isn’t a the off season but it’s please.

Poor Greens

You can't sell tee time without telling people about the greens not 1 or 2 but all the greens are bad , they could at least put the cup on the best part of the green. Couldn't hit 1 realistic putt all day. Bunkers full of rocks, other then that course is fine, but no Marshalls and people just popping in and out skipping holes flew threw 9 holes then jammed up bad 2 4 somes and a group of 5. Ridiculous. People.inside nice and starter nice but overall place is below par,

Surprised…

I didn’t play Lee’s all season and decided to go in the middle of winter…so that’s on me. I was expecting winter conditions (leaves, brown fairways, ect..). I was not expecting the greens to be in terrible shape. Once on the green you might as well give yourself a two putt. The greens were in terrible shape. They should not be charging full price in these conditions. Luckily got a hot deal for $39, but there folks I played with spent $60 and I think we all over paid. I used to play there a lot in the past and never saw the course in this shape. Hopefully they have a plan to get it right before the season kicks off.

Worst course in the USA

I can’t believe they are advertising monthly memberships for this cow pasture. The greens are unplayable and nearly impossible to make a putt. The fairways have multiple areas with big dirt patches . Dead leaves everywhere and a very poor layout with back to back par 5’s for example. After 50 years of golf , I just played the worst course of my life .

Lost their greens

There should be a considerable discount due to the conditions of the greens. 14 of 18 greens were unputtable. More than half of those greens are pure dirt. It is impossible to make any sort of putt when you ball is jumping between grass and dirt, bouncing and kicking in all directions.

Greens Unplayable

The greens are some of the worst that I have seen in the area. They are impossible to read, and extremely frustrating to play. Overall the course is in good shape for this time of year, but the greens need a lot of love.

Slow day

There was a frost delay so golfers were backed up when play began. Also many of the greens are in bad shape.

Tough conditions

Some of the traps don’t have any or little sand and nearly all the greens are in poor shape. Otherwise it is an interesting experience.

Wait for Greens to Recover

Lee’s Hill is a great course setup with a lot of challenging holes that force you to keep the driver in the bag off the tee. Unfortunately the greens have taken a big hit. The back greens are in better shape than the front, but overall they’re very patchy and bumpy. Hoping they get them back for next season since this is a fun course to play, especially for the money.

Thursday Golf

I haven’t played the course in quite some time. I really do like the layout. I was just very disappointed in the greens. The pin position was at 3 and I felt like I really could not get an accurate play as the the greens were in bad condition, bumpy with a lot of craters. I will definitely play again but will wait till next season and hope for a better experience

A big miss.

Hard to say anything bad about Lees Hill, typically. This round was far from the conditions I saw over the summer.

Greens are in disarray. Grass all over the bunkers (Not a major deal just unsightly).

On a high note, I'm sure the greens will be under control by the time it warms up again and we will be back.

Perfect Day For Golf

The greens are still in need of a lot of work but the weather, pace of play and staff were all fantastic. Fairways and roughs very acceptable. I will give it another try in a month or so. I would recommend but with caveat.

Greens need work

Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape however the greens were in rough shape. Not sure what happened over last several weeks to the greens as they were really good earlier this year. Definitely impacted putting on the day as ball would change directions hard due to the poor green conditions.
