Great course

Algonkian is a fun course. Relatively flat. No fairway bunkers, a few around some greens. What makes it a challenge is its long and the greens are really hard to read. Pace is usually 4 hours.

Just another day at the Gonk

I play the Gonk frequently. It's the price that keeps me coming back. And the pace of play. And the layout. And the location. The only complaint is the greens need to be rolled. Maybe they're growing them out and will roll them later, who knows... they aren't terrible, but definitely a little bumpy following the punch/dressing a few weeks ago. Otherwise, it was another round paired up w/ really nice people w. a good pace for a great price. Love the Gonk.

Overall Solid public course

Greens were aerated but overall course was in good condition and pace was decent for a Saturday. Back 9 plays much shorter than front. First 4-5 holes felt like they were identical par 5/long par 4s (basically long/straight fairway with no deviation).

Great for the casual golfer

Course was in good condition. Layout is very flat layout with not much variation from hole to hole. Relatively easy course with not too much trouble as long as you keep it somewhat in play.

Beware -- Better yet don't go

1. Greens were aerated and sanded but no one told us and no one cut the rate.

2. Beautiful spring day so they did all they could to make it play slooooow - allowed walkers on the course, made it cart path only although very little casual water mainly in traps and some rough.

3. Marshalls did not nothing to speed up my nearly 5 hour round.

4. Two cash registers inside but both taking tee time money; had to beg to get a drink at the turn.

5. There was OK parking (my mother taught me to say something nice.)
