Mount Vintage Golf Club - Independent Course

This course has a "private feel" to it. When you first arrive, they come to the parking lot and get your bag and tell you where to check in. Then you walk out and you cart w/bag is right by the driving range with very nice range balls.

We played the Chester/Vintage course layout and it was in great condition. It will play a bit long in the early morning with the dew. The rough was thick (as it should be in the summer). There are a number of blind shots (especially on Vintage) but the carts have GPS so you can see the holes (and water that you can't see from the fairway).

I gave course layout a "4" only because it plays much longer than the yardage (which is fine but not always fun when you can't get on greens in regulation) Even the men I played with had trouble on a few holes with the length. Long hitters will love it.

Also, I think the forward tees were not rated correctly (in my humble opinion) with a slope of only 115, I would rate it more around 120; since some of the elevation changes made it very difficult to reach a green in regulation. For example, the final hole (18 or 9 on Vintage) was severely uphill, I hit a great shot but as we drove up the hill my ball started to roll back down - it rolled good 100 yards.

They have a very nice ladies locker room.

Of course dining:

The grill is very nice but we had an issue with the service.

The waitress was very nice but after 40 mins she came out and said our food would be out in 10 mins (that they had a big take out order). The 10 mins later still no food, at 60 mins my friend went to ask and he was told it would be right now. So we waited a full HOUR for a basic burger (which although hot, was not great - very dry). The waitress told us they only had one cook that day. But frankly, any other day I would have left after 40 mins. wait. Why is it acceptable to have people sitting in your dinning room wait an hour so that you can fill take out orders?

If I go back again, I will enjoy the golf and go somewhere else for drinks and food.

Beautiful course, greens were a little slower than I expected, the tee boxes could use some work, but overall a challenging course with gorgeous views. I would give it a very high rating of a 8.9 out of 10, the 2nd nicest course I've played, and I have played lots of private and public courses. Definitely would recommend to a friend, and I'll be back!

I've played this course several times and today was a huge disappointment. The staff is great , the carts are good, practice facility is great, fairways are nice, tee boxes so so but the greens are terrible. Not 1 green rolls like the other, most have multiple bare spots and most all of them have several different types of grass growing in them. This isn't due to too much rain or a lack there of. This is a lack of operation by the grounds people. I don't know if they are limited in their budget or just simply incompetent. For the price they charge to play here the shape of the tee boxes and greens should not be as jacked up as they are. The cost of playing this course should be at least half of what they currently charge until they can get the course back the way it should be. The staff that I interacted with was fantastic but the managment of this course should be ashamed of the way the course currently is. Due to this I don't think I will be back any time soon. There are much cheaper courses in the area that are in the same if not better shape than this place. And that is a crying shame because this place could be amazing if they took care of it like it should be taken care of. I've got some out of town friends coming to play golf in 2 weeks and this was going to be one of the courses we played. Not after today. Hopefully they can get their act together and get the greens under control. Until then I would not recommend this course to anyone unless the rates drop significantly to represent the current conditions.

This is a wonderful course to play. Greens are always nice and put true. Fairways in great shape. Whole course layout very well thought out also. Clubhouse very nice and food. Is good. Staff and cart people are friendly and courteous. Course will make you learn to think your way around it and learn to hit different types of shots.

Apparently Mdschex has been back to play within a week to complain about this golf course. He must be playing free or just doesn’t have the game to play this type of course. Most people that complain about conditions of a golf course lack talent. Mount Vintage Golf Club is one the finest Clubs in the area that is open to the public. So I wreckon if this individual don’t like it why do you keeping coming back? I’m sure they want miss you!!!

I usually love this course, but I paid over $80 to play this course last Sunday. The greens and tee pads had multiple areas that had little to no grass. I would not recommend playing out there until they either lower the rates or fix these problems.

Irrigation problems. Greens and fairways in bad shape.

Golfnow should have had a warning on line like they do when greens are punched. Total waste of money, it’s not a cheap green fee.

We played Mt Vintage for the first time on 7/2/2024. The course & grounds were beautifully maintained. The challenging course meandered thru well kept neighborhoods. We had a great time & despite being about an hour away, well most certainly be back!

The staff were friendly as usual. The greens were burnt from the recent heatwave and lack of any rain but still putted smooth. The fairways were good and had some browning as well.

Course was in great shape. had a great time, will return very soon!

All golf is good ,,, some is just better than others. Enjoyed the round paired with a couple golfers from the area. Lots of roll through the fairways and the doglegs provide little forgiveness if you miss the fairway left/right/long. The greens were very (overly) dry and in need of water. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Nice practice/warmup area.. Our golf cars were in good shape and they had on-board tech with GPS.

One gem of Mt. Vintage is their resident teaching pro. If you can match your availability take a lesson from Cara. She is a talented instructor and her method to provide you insight through video replay, prescribe drills to feel the improvement and follow up with lesson notes are why I confidently claim she is the best!

Tees and fairways in great shape. Greens are rolling very fast. Course goes though rolling hills and is well designed.

I recommend it.
