Schalamar Creek Golf Club

My wife and I enjoyed our time on the course. It was in good shape, busy but moved slong in good time..

I will be back.

My wife and I golfed at Schalamar this pass sunday. First of all, I am a fan of Ron Garl, the golf architect and his work.. I would think that he is not very happy with what happened to his golf club and the very poor condition that it is in. The greens are just about gone due to poor maintenance and diseased condition. The tee boxes and fairways were in very rough condition. The staff and the clubhouse were excellent as well as the 3 hour play conditions. The front 9 was in the wooded area while the back 9 was through the trailer park homes and very narrow and tight.

The course was well later out, challenging and staff were very nice. Only complaint is the tee blocks on the front nine. They were in rough shape. The rest rest were good.

Have played here many times. Always fun but ever a challenge.

The course is recovering nicely from all the rain, mostly thanks to the cart path only rule being enforced. This makes play a little slower but the course is getting better as a result.

I would probable not come back and play, but was for sure not disappointed I did. I enjoyed the golf part of the round even though it had not rained for a couple days and was nice and sunny/warm everything on the front 9 was very wet. The trees are obviously very old and keep the dew in as well as block alot of sun from getting to the grass so it is not very good in rough areas which is a challenge. But the back 9 is much more open and enjoyable to play as well as better grass conditions on the whole. They did not have a beverage cart out when I played, nor did they mention that when checking in or at least have a sign. Pace was ok, front 9 slower due to conditions, but we were right around 4 hours which is find in my mind.

Greens are not in very good shape, too many weeds or something growing on greens, putting is tough to get a smooth roll.
