After half the groups had teed off and there was still 4 or 5 in front of us. And we were on time. Photo submitted by null on 09/25/2014
My home course!
Course is well kept and friendly staff. This course makes you use all of your clubs and thats something i love most about a good golf course. You wont be disappointed.
Horror show
I'll start by saying I've been playing Vannie for better than 25 years and so I've seen it in all conditions. But I've never seen it WORSE than it is now. The tee boxes are more like sand traps with tiny patches of grass but otherwise fully chewed up. Clearly no maintenance has been happening here for some time - and they'll say it's because of C19 - but other nearby courses aren't struggling anywhere near what Vannie is.
Abysmal pace of play
The rangers literally do NOTHING, what is the point!? Tee boxes are gross. Other than that, course in decent shape.
This course has been neglected badly. It was nice at the start of summer, but now unrecognizable as if it were abandoned.
The greens were like the surface of the moon with all the aerated holes.
Avoid this course you will be disappointed particularly if you play well.
And what’s up with the first tee box being non-existence ? I was told by starter that it was cursed by Babe Ruth in the 1940s.
Interesting stroll down a little golf histroy
Was intrigued by course being oldest public in the country. Layout was excellent , conditions surprisingly good for a municipal course (although tees need some attention). Played early 18 in 3 hours. Extremely enjoyable round of golf, albeit a bit pricey, but I factor in it is basically right in the city. I will play again.
Course conditions are awful
Conditions were really bad. Fairway most holes was hard terrain and anything in the rough was filled with sticks and hard ground. Unless it was a bad day would never go back.
Awful course and awful pace of play
Took us over 4.5 hours to play 13 holes. Group in front of us took very long at each hole and every time a player couldn’t find a ball the entire foursome would all stop what they were doing to search for it. There was also a group of six!!!! two groups ahead of us. No Rangers or staff onsite to speed up play.
The conditions of the course are awful. Tee boxes have no grass and minimal dirt. Good luck placing a tee in crabgrass.
