The Links At Dardenne

Course was in great condition considering 4-5 inches of rain in the past 4-5 days.

Enjoyed playing the course for the first time. Challenging layout from tee to green with good greens. I will be back.

The course conditions were interesting, and not all in a positive manner. On the plus side, the greens and tee boxes were in excellent shape. Putts rolled a little slow but stayed on line, and it was easy to get a tee into the ground. HOWEVER, the fairways were terrible and not in ideal shape.

While the fairways were for the most part green, the fairways had all kinds of dips, bumps and low areas where the grass had fallen below the surface. In other places, there were places the grass had died and was dirt or mud. Numerous times, we were in the middle of a fairway but would be hitting out of a rut that was a foot or two lower than the fairway. And not in the quirky Open Championship manner, either.

Not sure why the fairways have settled down in this fashion but it was not good and made for an unpleasant playing experience. It got bad enough on some holes that we just moved our ball for a more level lie. Plus, driving the cart down the fairway was a rough and bouncy experience that even hurt the back of one of our players

Many of the greens are sitting up on a ledge so you had to land shots on the putting surface as it was difficult to run a ball on. Also, once you head out onto the course, other than at hole 2, you never see the clubhouse again until 18. The course was crowded and we had to wait on virtually every shot, which led to a nearly five hour round. The layout is relatively flat but still semi-interesting.

Given the odd fairway conditions, along with the relatively high price point and an unpleasant starter, I’m not certain I will play there again this year. Might be the type of course to play once a year just for a change of scenery. I would recommend it but give lots of warnings.

This course is one of the worst in the area no doubt. The pace of play is terrible there are no marshals anywhere. The course is in terrible condition as always. Tee boxes not cut greens slow and fairways have literal potholes in them. Terrible place to go and definitely not worth 50 bucks. Maybe worth 15 bucks to play.

I just wish the greens were faster. Especially when playing tournament level courses with green speeds at least 9+. Still a good value.

The course was in descent shape considering the time of the year. However, no amenities were available.

There is no turn on this course. So if your going to play be sure to grab your refreshments before you start your round. Because you won't see the club house again until your done.

The course was OK at best. There were several areas of damaged fairways with weeds and ruts going through them. There were several times we had to take a drop when we landed in the fairway.

Ok... This is the second review of this course from me. I will have to retract a couple things about my first review. The fairways and tea boxes were in immaculate condition. The day I played the tea boxes were a little shaggy but not impossible to deal with. Greens were in decent condition, a few unrepaired ball marks that looked more than a day old. I paid $35 to play 18 holes which I think is a good deal. (Not a great deal). My issue is their normal price which is 45 to $50 is way too high for this course.

Starter was very pushy. Only to push into waiting every shot. They definitely got their money by overbooking and not forcing pace of play

The court is in wonderful condition. Fairways are great. Greens are really nice. But there were four groups waiting for the tee on the back nine from 10 on. No marshal anywhere to be seen.

It really takes the fun out of a round when you sit for 20 minutes to hit. It never sped up.

The clubhouse is not at the turn so if you want to go in and refresh after 9 holes it’s not an option. We didn’t take advantage of the restrooms after 7 holes and that was a mistake
