Nice and open

Fairways were nice and open and had great bounce and roll to them. My only issue with the course and there were many areas that needed to be watered.

Course is very dry right now.

In many places the fairways were bone dry and rock hard, also not much sand in greenside bunkers. Marhsalls would have been useful to keep pace of play moving, but none to be seen throughout the entire day,

Customer service

Golfnow is saying you get a cart the guy “John” real old mad dog type not giving an inch. You will pay extra upon arrival. They are pretty much slumming I’d say during covid, the course gets played so much that they could care less about you and the money you bring to the course. Drinks and food are non existent unless you wanna hold up the whole course on the turn and course is an bad shape. You would think fixing divots is illegal here.

GolfNow App Needs Update

We have played this course many times. I’ve used different apps to book tee times and everything was fine. I booked today through GolfNow for this round and it said our tee time included a cart. I get to the course to check in and we had to pay extra for the cart! So I’m upset we were led to believe one thing and told another! Not happy!! I’m going to avoid Skylinks in the future! So unhappy!!

Report this to Golfnow ASAP. Maybe you will be given a credit for being ripped off by this golf course.

Skyrinks

Place has taking a beating since the Rona and American golf is slum lording. The carts sometimes are clean and sometimes the GPS works. No Alert about sanded greens they were not punched just sanded. Would not have played knowing that.

Guys I played with were cool So 5 stars

No one fixes divots

Good for intermediate players

Nice golf course just perfect for intermediate players. Good layout and fairways, greens are well taken care. Overall It needs a little better maintenance and better cleaning on the carts

Just OK.

Course was in fair shape. Some areas were over watered and played soft, other areas were very dry and bounced really hard, so it was difficult to judge how to hit off it and to see what would happen to the ball when it landed. Same with the greens. Some were way quicker than the others as they were cut more than others. No real consistency. Just made for a difficult day of golf. The bunkers were the same, some were still quite wet and heavy and others dried out the crusty even through late into the back 9 holes.

It’s a bit pricey for what it is.

Hidden cart fee

I booked a round for three people and it said cart was included. When I got to the course they charged us an additional $15.00 per person cart fee on top of the $40.00 per person fee I already paid online through golf now. It clearly stated cart was included on the app. Very sneaky and manipulative. The employee at the course told me I shouldn’t book on golf now. Not a very good partnership between golf now and Skylinks. Skylinks should embrace golf now for it gives them exposure to golfers that might not know about their course. Not very happy about this, they should get on the same page.

Sand Traps are horrible

This course would be great to play if not for the condition of the sand traps. there are multiple traps on most holes that are impossible to get out of because. there is very little sand in them.

Bad conditions right now

Played this maybe 3 weeks ago and it was in pretty good condition. Now it's brown everywhere. Might be some sort of grass disease. Bald spots on the fairway. Wet muddy spots near the greens. Probably won't play this for a few months until others report better conditions.

Special thanks to all the staff who are allowing the golfers to get back out there. Conditions, pace of play, and whatever else ppl are complaining about right now is irrelevant
