Enjoyabe Golf Outing

Cart path required throughout the course due to very heavy rains in previous days. Needed lift, clean and place everywhere including shots from the rough. Still enjoyed the round. Afternoon pace-of-play was excellent. Staff is congenial. Always find good people to play with when I go alone. Have played Shalamar many times. Always enjoy the layout and challenges for an internediate player. Greens were all in good condition. Off-course amenities are limited due COVID19, as expected.

A chilly morning

The morning started out quite cold and windy but after a few holes of play the wind subsided and it was very pleasant. Hardly anyone on the course, which made it extra nice for us (not the club.)

Great Course

One of my favorite places to golf but It’s just a bit wet now making it difficult to golf. It’s also cart path only. I will back soon to check it out again!

A Little Wet but Good Overall

The course was a little wet but not too bad considering the amount of rain this past week. Still a great course to play...especially for the price.

Nice, but short

With the course being listed at 6100 from the tips, I figured it would still be a challenge, BUT once I started playing, I realized the black tee boxes were closed so the course became a step above an executive course. For many it won't be a problem, but for me it means having to hit the same clubs repeatedly, there were probably 4 or clubs I didn't use at all. The greens were in very good shape, but they were rolling a bit slow, rolling true but slow.

I lost a number of balls that I hit in the middle of the fairways. This course is so wet it is unplayable. Worst course I ever played it's a joke, so don't waste your time

Hello, RG7E07F5D52E78023981. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We with the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Schalamar Creek Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
