Great value for a piece of history

Recommend going out in the fall while weather is still nice. If you plan to walk, just know that the course layout is pretty separated, so ends up being a very long walk between holes.

Greens cored and sanded - waste of money

Ban Courtland is usually very good and course keeps getting better with a new greenkeeper and it seems more resources.

Unfortunately on the day we played 9 of the first 14 greens were temporary greens due to coring and sanding (we gave up after 14). When booking this should be made clear it clear and we definitely felt we had paid for what was a incomplete course which was under renovation.

Totally worth playing here, just not when they are doing greens.

Very disappointing

I was really excited to play the oldest golf course in the US. You would think having that distinction this place would have more history to show. The original locker room looks more like a storage room. Very few pictures of the past. The pro shop had very little in it. The course itself was in horrible shape. I get the time in the season but if you’re going to charge prime rates then have better playing conditions. Very disappointing.

Repair the tee boxes

The tee boxes are in terrible shape on some holes. This has been a long time concern with no improvements being made. The place could use some upkeep. The greens were in good shape other than the graffiti on 15.

Pace of play

Normal playing time for 4 golfers will be 4-4.5 hours.

Key concern is there is the team who did delay the game due to their lack of gentle play spirit

It doesn't matter whether they are experts or beginners. But they should keep i mind not to delay following team and expedite their play.

Also the ranger need to expedite delayed team which has been delaying play even if there is no team in front of them. They are the troubled team and shall be expedited or skip the hole as required and informed by golf club management.

Great New

For everyone who plays this course.... OMG they finally have refurbished golf carts!! Amazing. I have been complaining about the cart path pot holes and the golf carts for years!!! They have finally replaced their golf carts and repaired most of the potholes. I am optimistic that one day they will address those dreaded tee boxes.
I love the course and hopefully they will get it right. The staff should be more courteous, but that starts at the top. The golf pro is awesome and so are the starters, rangers, and club house cooks. As far as management.... It can definitely do better...
