Reserve Run Golf Course

I had to make sure there was an updated review here. Arrived for a morning tee time eight minutes ahead of time, and we immediately rushed off the tee. No time to set an order. Told 3 times to hit. Rangers on nearly every hole pushing everyone through. When we completed our round, must have been 25 people on first tee. If you have to manage it constantly and make it a rushed experience on every part of the course. First tee should be moving. So too many times on the sheet.

If it weren’t for the general feeling of constant prodding- the course was in great shape.

The course has pretty interesting layout at times and condition is mostly decent but the staff is very unwelcoming.

1. Starter was rude on the first hole

2, They insert nine hole team right in front of us as we were turning. This is after port pace of play in the front 9.

Very well groomed tee boxes, fairways, and reasonable rough. Not TOO many places to get in trouble but watch out for the water holes! Greens are mostly flat and wet in decent shape for this time of year. Not wet or muddy anywhere.

…unless you book through GolfNow, layout nothing to be excited about, 6 par 3’s slow down play by allot. Staff is so-so, and that might be stretching it. Greens were okay, this course is just for seniors, not much challenge, quirky layout, would not recommend. Feels like a golf sweat shop, line them up, get them thru, keep the moving. But there’s no place to go. Sorry Reserve Run, wish you all the best!

This course gives every impression that it will be top tier and most aspects are. Fairways and rough are manicured, greens and fringe are well maintained and the clubhouse is beautiful. However, a course like this should not have mine fields for greens. First, their clientele don't seem to want to fix ball marks. I mean big old troughs that were not touched. Some fixes were half-hearted and didn't help the green at all. Divots are also an issue and they do not supply sand on your cart so many of those are left untreated.

At many courses in Pennsylvania they have a worker drive around with a special tool to fix as many ball marks as possible. RR would do well to do the same.

I don't think I had a putt longer than 10ft that didn't have a major ball mark in the line. It was very frustrating.

Otherwise this would have been a good experience.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BALL MARKS

Course was in great condition as always, staff super friendly, and in my opinion although it’s a. Shorter course, it’s one of the funnest layouts around. Unfortunately the greens were basically a mine field, not one flat not bumpy putt all day, genuinely ruined my whole round/experience, it was actually impossible to hole a putt from anywhere outside of a few feet because you were putting through gouges and unfixed pitch marks. Can’t solely blame the crew as it’s mainly Inconsiderate people not fixing their marks, but it really ruined my feelings on the whole round. Hopefully they’re able to improve their greens, because normally they’re some of the better ones.

Owner is very rude and I did not deserve the verbal assault given to me this AM. If you are not going to be a decent human hire someone that will. My request was clearly made with the nice individual I spoke with on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. I have played countless rounds of golf here and will never be back. I will make sure I bring up this interaction anytime I talk about golf in Youngstown.

This is a decent course. Not special. A bit too short. The issue our group had there involved the staff and management and it was extraordinary. We had completed our first 18 hole round and went in to the counter to pay for a replay round, which we did. Midway through the replay round, we were confronted by both the ranger as well as the owner and were told we did not pay for the replay. After approaching us as if we were children, the owner attempted to dress us down due to a misunderstanding that his staff caused. Completely unacceptable.

A word on our golfing group. Our handicaps range from 5 to 15. We do not drink or carry on in any way shape or form and have NEVER had any issues in over 40 years of playing. We will never give Reserve Run the opportunity to mistreat us again as we will never be back.

I played golf on a Saturday with my father and our friend. We teed off at 4 so we made the turn around 6-6:15. When I went to get waters at the turn I was met with attitude from the snack boy which I shrugged off as him having a bad day. Then, around 6:30 an older gentlemen came out and signaled us to walk over to his cart. When we met up with him he accused us of only paying for 9 holes not 18. This was not the case and when we tried to explain this to him he continued being rude and implied that we were trying to play more golf than we paid for. I play a lot of golf in the area and have never been treated so poorly on a golf course. Needless to say we will NEVER be going back there and giving them our money. I also plan on contacting the owner(s) and telling them about this as they should know how their employees treat their customers.

Played our hearts out, never has our group played so well. The course is impeccable, fairways, tees and greens are plush. Double line sprinklers keep it in great shape all season. Not the hardest course you will ever play but perfect for me and my pals.

Course is always in top condition. If there was a storm the day before or morning of,, the chances are it will be 90 degrees with carts when it's cart path only everywhere else. The greens are usually smooth and fast, especially in the peak season.

People think it's easy because it is approximately 6000 yards from the tips. The reason is there are 6 par 3's. So don't let the distance fool you.

Highly recommend.

No fivesomes here. Whether they have clubs or not. So just be informed. The won't give anyone a break on this rule.

Enjoy

Pace of play varies on day and time of day you tee off.

This course is one of the best maintained public courses I have ever played. The ONLY negative is the length - there are 6 par 3's. There are few holes where club choice on the T is critical, you can't just grip it & rip it.
The staff is friendly, and there is even a ranger patrolling the course on the weekends. The bar & restaurant upstairs really good.

Usually don't review courses but moved to share this. Had an issue where on the first hole our cart was hit by a ball from the foursome playing behind us. same hole while we were on the green 2 balls landed approx. 15 feet from where we were. we went back and conveyed our unhappiness to the foursome. (we had a girl who came just to watch us play we only had 4 bags and the girl rarely got off the cart) The foursome apparently complained claiming 5 people were playing and we had a very rude person( owner) yelling at us without even asking questions. even after we tried to explain the situation he kept singing the same tune. Never will go back to this place. Also pace is extremely poor because of overbooking. Go to mill creek instead excellent staff better course and people who have etiquette play there.

We have a group of couples that has played this course once a year for the past several years, up until this year it has been an enjoyable experience.
The owner of the course, Bob, has developed an attitude that is less than professional. He has no provisions for players that may have trouble walking but still enjoy playing the game.
I would encourage golfers not to play this course due to the owners attitude.

Enjoyed the total experience. Going to recommend it to our friends and hope to hold an outing there next year.
