Skylinks Golf Course

Newly sanded greens made putting a little quick but challenging

First time playing here, I play I.E area about twice a week. Pace of play was quick tee off at 3:40pm and finished by 7:45 right as su. Was going down. The bunkers were hard pan sand but that's average and a norm around these parts. Layout was flat great for walking. The greens were receptive to long high flighted irons and held well. I would definitely play again on a late weekday.

I have never written a review until now. We had a 3:40 tee time and I was playing with a son and father. The father was very good and teaching his son who was also good.our pace of play was quick and the driunk people behind us were incredibly rude, incredibly aggressive and caused a scuffle between themselves and the father. While the father was also somewhat in the wrong I have NEVER experienced such poor behavior on a golf course around a child by the 3:50 group and I’m not sure as much as I love this golf course I want to come back.

So this is my go to if it has or is raining as it drains very well unlike eldo or rec park. They do have water retention ponds to be aware of as you won't find your ball in them. Overall the course played great with a solid rain the day before. The greens had been punched recently but you could make putts. Most bunkers were unplayable due to the water pooling in them from the rain but too be expected afrer the deluge we got locally. The fairways for the most part ran out but you'd occasionally hit or go through a puddle that slowed your drive down. The staff was great and let me go out a little early. Pace was 3:15 and I played multiple balls on most holes.

The greens had been aerated with sand, but necessary. Pace was slow, but an Ambassador came & the pace improved.

This could be a great course but maintaining and managing skills are terrible. They need to fire all managers and staff. Figure it out. It’s not that hard. Other courses in the city are fantastic.(rec and el do)

Two Marshalls/Starters on the first hole. If the 11:30 tee time is not on the tee at 11:27, they should be skipped. The 11:40 tee time I was part of was all there and ready, while we sat and witnessed the 11:30 tee time hit the last of their multiple tee shots at 11:39. That already puts us behind 10 minutes. Over the course of a day it puts your whole course behind. As I walked through the 18 holes I really could not see why I had to be there for 5 hours to complete the round. Only reason I could see is mis-management at the first tee.
