Course is not worth $60

First time playing course. I will never return. Once we got to the neighborhood, it took another 40 minutes to reach the course. The first tee box was in poor shape. Then the real shocker was the shape of the greens. Uncut. Weeds growing. Municipal courses have better greens. Wish I could have asked for my money back. Never seen greens in such poor shape. I will never go back. Spend your money elsewhere.

We apologize we fell short of your expectations on your recent visit. The severe drought conditions in our area have plagued us for the last couple of months, but fortunately we received 5+ inches of rain over the past weekend and everything has greened up quickly. The heat sensitive bentgrass greens at Leopard's were stressed, but they have improved significantly as well. Any invasive grasses have been treated aggressively and will be quickly eradicated. We apologize again, but we want you to know we take your feedback seriously and will take whatever steps necessary to improve our guests' golfing experience. I'm not sure what happened on your drive in to our course, but our entire property is about a five minute drive from one side to the other and Leopard's Chase is easily accessible from all three of our entrances, with drive time ranging from 90 seconds to 5 minutes from entrance to clubhouse parking lot.

Slow, bumpy greens. Burnt fairways. Bunkers haven’t been raked in awhile. Was the first group out and didn’t not see a single ground keeper all day. Spend your money elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. You actually played the course right after we aerated the greens and they likely were a little bumpy for a couple of days. We are charging our greatly reduced summer rates to account for these types of typical summer maintenance. We apologize you did not catch us at our best. We hope you will come back soon and give us an opportunity to better provide you with a great golf experience.

Thank you for your patronage of Leopard's Chase. We apologize you had an unsatisfactory experience on this visit. The course was in a transition period between spring and summer and the extreme drought conditions of the last several weeks had slowed the process of the bermuda grass breaking dormancy. The rains we received in the last few days has helped tremendously and everything has greened up quite a bit. We expect the course to be in much better condition than you experienced as we move through the remainder of 2022 and beyond.

The course is in terrible condition

Greens were awful . Spots everywhere. Fairways were hard and in bad shape. We were very disappointed. Architect should be praised. It could be a amazing course if it were taken care of.

Thank you fro taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. We apologize we were unable to meet your expectations on this visit. The recent drought has caused significant problems for many courses in our area. Fortunately, we did receive some much needed rain in the last few days and this will help immensely. We apologize again and we will do everything we can to improve our operation as we move forward.

Needs Tender Loving Care

Leopards chase clubhouse is absolutely nothing to speak of and shameful for Ocean Ridge !!!!

The front nine holes fairways are terrible tea boxes terrible greens fungus terrible can easily be taken care of by normal maintenance which they are not doing, merely cutting the fairway lawns is not maintaining a Course.

The back nine fairways were in much better shape compared to the front and the greens Rosso well groomed and lush and I would still recommend it to friends !!

I would love to get on board to get this place in shape the way deserves!!!

First off at 7 am. Paired with a local golfer. Great layout. Very friendly and informative staff. Greens were a little thin around some of the edges, but very playable. We’ll definitely return.

Great course

Leopards Chase was a challenging course with beauty. This course was challenging with lots of water and sand. Precious is as important as distance. The greens are a little rough but the hole placement was picked to maximize the putting surface most importantly the course was beautiful and fun to play

Leopards chase “Not”

I ‘m not sure what was worse: course condition, pace of play or “lack” of value. Course should be closed until greens recover and tee boxes and fairways grow in. Worse condition course in MB. No warning from staff that course was in that bad of condition. Don’t play this course!

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Leopard's Chase. You are correct that conditions have been very dry over the last several weeks, but you are also playing in the transition period from winter rye grass to warm weather bermuda on the fairways and tees. The winter rye has been sprayed out to speed along the transition process, causing the course to be off color for a week or so but it will hen begin to quickly green up again as we move into the warmer season. We hope you will visit us again to see our continued progress.

beach course

if you like sand traps this will be heaven for you. only problem is getting out of them is going to take a different tech. they are hard and has no sand in places. I was in at least 25 traps for the round and I have never had that much trouble getting out of them This is a beautiful golf course. waterfalls on 18 was very cool. but this is for experienced golfer. Maybe even a pro. I have played my whole life and it kicked my rearend. so enjoy and do not throw clubs into the many water ways.

Avoid at all cost

This course is terrible, terrible, terrible. AVOID at all cost. Greens have burnt patches, bunkers are hard as a rock, tee boxes are brown and with crabgrass. Locals don't even play here. Waste of money.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Leopard's Chase. We sincerely apologize we were unable to meet your expectations on your recent visit. Some of the greens are definitely still recovering from some previous issues, but they are much improved and getting better daily. As you can see here on Golf Advisor, four of the last six reviews have been Five Stars and the other was a three star review. Hopefully you made your concerns known to the folks in our pro shop as they will always work with any of our guests to make sure you are satisfied with your golfing experience at any of The Big Cats courses. If that is not the case, please contact me at blong@oceanridge.com and I would love the opportunity to work with you to find a resolution to your concerns. Thank you and again, we apologize we fell short of your expectations, but we would love the opportunity to make it up to you.
