The Links At Dardenne

The Links at Dardenne is a frustrating blend of overpricing and poor management. The course struggles to justify its standard rates, offering an experience that falls well short of expectations.

The only somewhat redeeming feature is their new “membership” option, which allows you to play after 2 PM for $20—a price that more accurately reflects the course’s actual value. Even then, players should be prepared to encounter a range of issues, most notably a staff that appears undertrained and overwhelmingly inexperienced.

Overall, unless you’re playing at the discounted rate and setting your expectations low, you might leave the course feeling shortchanged.

First time back at Dardenne in a bit and things haven’t changed much. Once again, the greens are the best part of the course. However, and I still don’t know why, but the fairways are still awful.

There are huge ruts and dips in some of the fairways and they REALLY need to be filled in and fixed. On three occasions, we had a shot roll into one of these dips that were filled with water. A number of other fairways are bare and thin. The rough was thick and a challenge to play out of, though.

The carts seemed pretty new, were quite comfortable plus had a Bluetooth speaker as well as USB charging ports. That was a huge plus and much welcomed! Pace of play was horrible, though. We had to wait on nearly every shot and our round lasted nearly five hours. They have times eight minutes apart which doesn’t seem like enough time. Plus, at nearly $60, not the best value.

For $75 per person, this condition if the course definitely wasn't worth it. While the greens were in excellent condition, the faiirways were in less than ideal shape, gras was spotty at best, and there were ruts and gullies throughout the course.

If you want an over priced and slow round then this is the place for you! Fairways are in shambles… There are potholes in every one. Pace of play is around 5+ hours in a morning. If you want to spend $75 on a morning tee time, you’re better off driving 5 minutes away to the Falls. They actually keep pace of play and take care of the course. I wouldn’t spend $40 to play here again…

I placed my reservation through Golf now - paid $58 and some change for (???) - I thought it paid for my green fees. Upon arrival to the course, I had to pay an additional $47 and some change for my green fees, as well as all 3 other people in my party. What did my $58 reservation go towards? Scammed either by Golf Now or the course, either way I will not be using the service or going to that course again. Overall poor experience.

I've been playing here for the past 5 seasons.. the course is in the best shape I can remember playing. The staff in the pro shop are the absolute best.. Friendly and knowledgeable. Glad to have this course close to home. Can't Wait for all of the upgrades to the clubhouse, restaurants and course..

Played in the evening- asked the staff if the course was open and they said it was wide open. Got stuck behind 2 singles, two doubles and then league play. No Marshall to combine the doubles or the singles. We should have been instructed to start at hole 10 as well- waste of time.

Staffs mean and pace of play is absolutely terrible

Everything was fine with the golf course, but I learned that had I not used GolfNow and called the course direct I would have saved $58 for our foursome.

It looks like having new management hasn’t helped pace of play. On a Monday at 12:30 we had a 5 hour round. I would hate to play there on a weekend. Needs work.

Our 3-some played in 4:10 but would have Ben 3:45. They allow 2-somes that would not pair up. We waited on every shot on the back side. Finished the front in about 1:45 keeping pace with a 2-some in front of us.

A friend and I play this course often. Yesterday was one of the most recent days the weather was great for getting out to golf. Pace of play was slow because they were full. The fairways had a lot of issues but we've had so much rain. Other courses have the same issue. Usually the course is in great shape. We like this course because there are some challenging holes but it's not a hard course. Fun to play!

Booked tee time through golf now accidentally for the wrong day. Called course as soon as they opened. Straightened out the tee time. When it came to the fees paid to golf now, the course chose to say that’s your problem and charged me full rate for the rounds. I live in the neighborhood where this course is located, but I will probably go elsewhere in the future if there is no effort to make things right.
