Morgan Hill Golf Course

From reading reviews I was prepared for the hills/mountain, however I was not prepared for over half the course to be under construction. Playing on a Saturday morning and paying the top rate, I do not expect to have to deal with the maintenance crew aerating/tilling fairways during play, but that was the case today. Worse yet was the maintenance guy tearing up the fairway did not seem to care that paying golfers were waiting on him. 6 of the 9 back nine fairways had at least 40% of the fairways as ground under repair due to them being tilled/aerated. A simple heads up at check-in or better yet on the course website to alert before making tee times would have been nice. Don't think I need to make the drive again.

Only downside was pace of play, course was overbooked on a Sunday morning with 2 outings and normal tee times. Course and facility are worth the drive.

The staff, conditions, and overall experience at Morgan Hill remains exemplary. It is a challenge, but if you're smart And your game is on point you will enjoy it, even though it is very difficult to score there.

Was told that back 9 would be not be available to play due to some course changes and chemicals and had to play the front 9 twice. Back 9 is much more challenging but, enjoy this course and such a perfect day to play I didn't mind until, we came off of 9 to begin the play on front 9 again. Since they did not cancel tee times, we were now behind people just teeing off and that happened to not be very good and from observations on the first hole, were hitting there balls about 6-10 feet each shot. Was easily going to be 3 hours+ to play front 9 again so we went in to tell person at desk who gave us each a rain check for 9 holes. Fair deal from my perspective, will certainly go back to MH, challenging especially when you play other courses after.

Course is in great shape! Very hilly and you won't get any flat lies. Great deal for the money

I have played just about every course in the LV, this is one of the worst. first off, it's super gimmicky - set on huge hills, with dramatically undulating greens. the tees boxes were not all there and those that were, were not the yardages on the scorecard. there is a ton of crabgrass. the carts have no speed governor and the hills make this a huge liability...due to the lack of governor and the hills, the brakes barely worked on the cart. granted the vistas are nice, but when a hole's elevation change is more than the total yardage, ehh....not a realistic hole. I saw no ranger monitoring pace of play & on 16 there were 5 groups simultaneously....on a TUESDAY. website says there is a range, but its simple a new to hit into....also, hole 2 is closed for renovations, which nobody mentioned until after we paid. seriously thought i was going to die in that cart. also, they are not handicap friendly...no HC flags and with the immense hills, it's nearly impossible to get to certain areas of the course in a cart....I'm a 14 handicap and I thought the course rating was somewhat accurate, so there is that. once again, the main issue is that the course is gimmicky, any decent golfer will see that...not going back.

Pace of play states 4:30 hours and we finished in about 5, got held up on back 9 a few times but no real issue with that.

I was a little disappointed in the quality of the course. I went in thinking it would be pristine but some of the fairways were a little beat up (not terrible). The greens were awesome and even though most have lots of elevation changes, none all that sudden so as long as you get on the right level, putting didn't prove too difficult.

The scenery is outstanding but makes for a challenging time. This was only my 9th round ever so don't let inexperience deter you. I had a blast and played maybe by best round ever (by performance not score). I don't drive the ball far so unless I hooked or sliced it way out of play I didn't have much trouble finding balls. The other two people I played with would have long drives and would end up losing balls because of all the hills as they couldn't see where it went after teeing off. Blind shots are fine but after awhile they were pretty frustrated because there was so many of them.

Not sure I would go back because it was so physically taxing - the hills made it hard to drive a cart to your ball at times which led to hike up a large incline. Perhaps in the early spring, I'd consider going. The $35 after 2:00 is an absolute steal. I played the day before elsewhere and paid $60 for a pretty ho-hum course. This is anything but and 100% worth checking out regardless of skill level.

My recommendation is to play a round and judge for yourself. It might not be for everyone but for us it led to an enjoyable and memorable afternoon.

For the price the course is in great condition. It rained in the morning making it cart path only. This made the course very long to play as well as slowing the pace. Other than that it was a great round.

Love Morgan Hill. Just be careful driving the cart on those extremely steep hills!!

I enjoyed the scenic holes, and very well kept course. The greens were a little too undulating for my liking, but rolled true.

Having been the first time for me at this course, there were a few blind shots that left my wondering what was the proper landing yardages, but all in all was a very nice day out.

1 1/2 hour ride is worth it at full price but we caught a hot deal and paid half price on a weekend, and this course never fails to impress us, with the elevation changes and fast greens it always makes for an interesting day.

It had been raining earlier in the day. The staff would NOT allow the carts off the paths. This course has a lot of steep hills and made it very difficult to walk around. You would make a long walk to your ball only to find yourself in a fairway bunker. Back you go for a different club. Most clubs I have played at play 90 degree rules not stay off the grass every where.

This is a very challenging course with many unique holes that require careful club selection and precise targeting on the extremely sloped fairways. Proper positioning on the greens was also critical because a three putt was always the penalty for poor shot placement. To take your mind of your horrific score, there are spectacular scenic views from many holes.

With the major elevation changes, this is not a course for walkers, and even driving the carts on the sloped fairways was quite a challenge. Many speed bumps on the cart paths help keep the carts at a safe speed on the steep inclines.

This is a great course, but not one for beginners or the faint of heart. Expect to be completely exhausted, and exhilarated, by the end of the round.

My wife and I were paired up with another mixed couple, which was good, but the overall pace of play was quite bad. My wife and I finished in over 5 hrs, and in the dark, and the other couple quit before finishing 18 holes because the play of the groups in front of us was so incredibly slow and we were waiting to hit on almost every shot.

Beautiful place to play. If I have a chance want to play again with all my friends.

Some wonderful hole designs that challenge you to know and pick your shots. Really nice views of the mountains and the course itself. Overall a really good challenge and well kept course, great value.

Negatives: slow play because it is a tougher course. The rough was high and I struggled with it for some reason. Some holes will spank you if you get in the wrong spot, which I did and tripled 2 holes.

The golf cart GPS is the best I've seen, but I'd bought myself a Garmin that had one feature that saved me many shots, their "plays like" feature that provides distances based on elevation changes.

Good practice greens.

Worth playing a few times. Hoping my next trip will be less learning and more scoring. Make the trip and enjoy thinking your way thru.

Course is beautiful and in great shape. I and my playing partners (all intermediate golfers) found it very difficult. I called the day before our tee time to inquire if there was a practice range and was told yes. The range consists of about six tee stations and a net about ten feet in front of you! Our tee time was before 9:00 AM and we were informed when we arrived that there was a 25 minute backup! Then we were told that the club would rather have a backup on the first tee than on the course, and that once on the course things move along well and that they strive for a FIVE HOUR PACE OF PLAY!!! If I had known that I never would have booked a tee time here. And it was a five hour round with lots of waiting. It may well be that the course is so difficult as to preclude a faster pace of play. All of us decided that we would never return.

Extreme elevation changes tee to green throughout the course. Although it has far more ups and downs than I prefer, the course is interesting and very challenging. (I think the 127 slope (White Tees) is understated.) Some nice views of the Lehigh Valley. Course was in very good condition including the bent grass greens which were medium speed.
Great good deal at $27.

I absolutely love this course and consider it the best public course in the Lehigh valley. The course demands accuracy and some knowledge due to blind tee shots, but it's very playable. The greens will keep you on your toes for sure, so think about where you are leaving your approach onto the green. Great views and layout, enjoy!

Had a great time playing this challenging course. Interesting, beautiful course that will challenge all levels. Tee boxes were in great shape as were putting greens. Spent way too much time in the rough which is easy to do alas! Looking forward to returning. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

This course is quite an adventure. Every hole has changes in elevation and sloping fairways. Even driving the cart around is a challenge; there are many steep downhill curves and one must pay attention 100% of the time. The course is well-kept and pretty with some lovely scenic views of the Lehigh Valley area. Next time I play this course, I will favor a "course management" strategy vs. "how long can I go."
