What a difference

I have been playing vanny for many years now because it is a local course for me. I have seen this course at its worst and all I can say now is WOW I don’t remember when the course has looked this nice. They redid the first tee box that was in dire need to get fix, and there is actually grass on all the other tees. I am in complete shock. The bunkers are being cleaned out and reshaped.oh and one more thing for once the greens look and are rolling like they have never before. I was told there is a new superintendent who took over last year and you can totally see the changes being made. I am totally impressed and can’t wait to see what the 2023 golf season has in store for Vanny!! Hats off to the superintendent and his crew they are doing an outstanding job!

Fun but cart pricing is sketchy

I had a blast but they charged me 20 dollars per person to rent a cart which felt a little predatory. We payed for the round and the cart already seats two golfers so why charge for my playing partner?

Much improved

I like to play Vanny once or twice a year out of nostalgia. That said, coming out of winter it is in great shape despite the weather. Time you play is probably the biggest factor to enjoy your self. Play at a non-busy time and its a lot of fun.

Old Vanny

This course is in need of severe repair. the greens have gotten faster but the fairways and rough around the green need plenty of work. the cart paths are full with potholes and the course maintenance has fallen off significantly. I love the course because it's by home. If I had to travel here I would rather play somewhere else.

This Course is so addictive.

The layout is so beautiful, I actually dubbed this my favorite golf course I've ever played. It may not be major championship caliber, but the whole course gives you a feel very similar to one.
