Overpriced, this course should never be charging over $60! It's just an average links course with below average greens.

Warning! American Golf managed course, meaning all they care about are dollar signs.

Let me elaborate on my title above. The tee times at just about every facility managed by American Golf are 7-8 min long. Therefore, the lower tee time intervals allow them pump out as many people as possible. This is good news if you work for American Golf, however, this is horrible news if you're like me and trying to enjoy a round of golf with your dad, father n law, and brother n law. As much as I love my father, father n law and brother n law, I wouldn't want to spend 5 hrs and 40 minutes with them on the golf course...any day of the week.

We played golf during the holiday season, albeit the day after Christmas, and we sort of expected the round to be about 5 hrs but certainly not 5 hrs and 40 minutes. When we got to the 5-6th hole we decided to make a call to the golf shop to see if we could at least get a marshal out there to at least address the issue. Not ONCE did we see any marshal all day! I would have even accepted an answer of "We apologize but our last marshal left for the day." At least I would have known that nobody was coming out to check on things.

Needless to say, I will not be going back to SkyLinks again. Save your money, spend a little more and play a non-American Golf facility.

the course has large greens that are very fast.

pace of play was very slow on a few holes there were 2 or 3 groups waiting to tee off and there is no one regulating the pace of play. So take your time and enjoy at least your GOLFING!!!

Problem with Refund (paid for 3, 2 played), Extremely Slow

I checked in the 3 in my group and one guy never showed up. I asked the people in the Pro Shop if they could just put the 1 round back on my AmEx (which I used for all 3 rounds, gave them the receipts to verify) and they told me that the GM would have to handle it. I told them I live on the East Coast and that I was only there for the week. Again, they said he would have to handle it, but that he would likely only give me credit for another round.
I called him the next day and explained the situation on his voicemail, asking that he call back as soon as he can.
Still no word back.
As far as the course goes, it was in good shape. The Marshall should have been a little more attentive to pace of play- we started as 2 and caught the guys in front of us after the first hole, so we joined up as 4. After becoming a 4some, we ended up sitting behind the guys in front of us for 5-10 minutes every hole after we caught up to them on #3.
I left after 14 holes. As I made my way through the rest of the course to return the cart, I noticed that the group in front of us was just teeing off on #15, the guys 2 groups in front of us were finishing 17 and 18 was wide open.
I am not likely to play this course again, and I don't think I'll recommend it to anyone I know.

Loved the fairways and the greens were running pretty good.

Heck even the traps were letting me out easy so I'm going to credit the course for that too!

beautifully maintained course

Awesome afternoon of golf. My son and I were able to get on early. Went on as a twosome which was great! Did not have to wait at any holes !! Course was beautiful and everyone was so nice. Played twilight and were able to get to the 15th hole before we lost the sun. Had my longest drive ever (175 yds, I'm a chick) and my son had his longest at 250 yds. Great deal thru golfnow and paid 22.00 each including cart !! Wonderful afternoon spent with the kid and an awesome almost full round of golf. Can't wait to come back!!

5 hrs for a twilight special

Yes it happens when you have to follow a fivesome that insisted on putting out every putt. And then when someone jumps in ahead of you at the turn.

Greens were a little chewed up on a warm day, especially when too many aren't fixing their divots.

Balance of course in great shape, just please stop allowing fivesomes, especially when only 8 minutes between tee times.

GREAT GREENS, FRIENDLY STAFF

I've played this course multiple times lately and can't get enough. While not a fan of American golf facilities, this place is special. Lightning fast fairways and greens, fairways are a little dry but in good shape, with a great pace of play. The practice area is also nice with practice bunker and chipping green. Customer service is always outstanding. Zac the starter is the best. We all have that one friend who is always late, (Mir), and Zac is always very accommodating. Way to go Zac! Will definitely return.

Good course for the money.

Course was in overall good condition. The only issue was the greens. Some were damaged which made it more diffucult than usual to determine how the ball will roll.

Awesome 18 hole course - one of best in area!

Impressive course. Great conditions, and challenging play. It was nice to have computers on the carts that tell you exactly where your distance from the whole is, along with how far you are from hazards. Great value as this is usually expected only from the extravagant courses. This course is probably the best that I have played in the area. It was not backed up or overcrowded! We started at 4:12pm and were only able to play 16 holes, so get a starting time by 3:30 if you want to complete the course.

This course is always in great cond.

Love playinG this course for the value . Front nine always plays very steady but back is always very slow especially since we play after 2 pm. No marshals on the back nine to keep golfers moving. My only bad review.

Just too slow!

Everything these days places value on pace of play. This course does a horrible job of keeping things moving. First, our 8:50 AM time meant we teed off at almost 9:20. Then it was a crawl. I'm only upset with myself because I come here once every 3 months or so and it's always the same. I guess I hope for improvement because I do like the course and it's short enough that I can shoot a good score. Still 5.5-6 hours is much too long, waiting on every shot. I've decided finally to not go back!

But, if you have all the time in the world, and a foursome that likes to sit and talk, you will like this course and the price is reasonable.
