Nice layout but the greens could be improved
The South/West course at Compass Pointe is a nice layout. The front 9 (South) is much easier than the back 9 (West). On the front, the primary challenge is that most fairways have trees on both sides. However, the fairways are wide so the trees are not a real problem. The back 9 has tighter fairways and some holes with water in play.
The course conditions are pretty good, but the greens are really inconsistent - some major patches of bare ground and many bumpy greens.
We will play this course again - especially if the greens are improved.
Horrible shape
Seldom write reviews and doing it on my phone so forgive please
This course has never been in that good of shape since the beginning. Traps were awful until last few years. Course drains awful. Not sure of the problems now but it is the worst shape I’ve seen. Possibly the heavy rains and hot temps. I know nothing about turf management but if the condition is unavoidable the management should be ashamed to charge full price. There were problems with the fairways and the greens. Coupled with the fact that this course seems to rely on tourneys to stay afloat the greens have way too many ball marks.
Just disgusted. And I love the layout. Won’t be back for awhile.
Pretty decent
This course isn't bad. It's got some great holes, but the West 9 is about 400 yards less than the South 9, so that is a bit different. The Pace of Play was really good, but I had an early morning tee time so that also may have been part of it. The fairways were in great shape, but most bunkers were a free drop outside according to the starter, and the greens had tons of ball marks. I got a great deal to play it with my dad, but I would've been disappointed if I had to pay full price in the early morning. I really liked the design, and if the greens and bunkers were better I think it would be one of the best in the area.
I’d play it again
Very friendly place. Not perfect condition , but not as bad as other post would have you believe. Played ball down and had no problems. Greens have a few ball marks but didn’t have any issues putting .
All in all - very pleased!
Great friendly staff! Overall, course was in good shape, except for 5 or 6 fairways that were struggling to grow sufficient grass, due to a wet/cold late winter/early spring. Rough could be a little lower. Pace of play was good - 4 1/2 hours - for a public course. Nice layout with character. Played as a single and got paired with 3 others. Enjoyed the round and company. When back in town, will play again.
Golf afternoon and thank you for sharing your feedback. The winter was a bit tough on a few fairways and we are in the process making some additional repairs. The wet weather has made it tough to get some mowers out, but we have caught up now. Thank you for sharing. Michael
first half was great; second 9 a little less so
Compass Pointe is a well designed course - 36 holes and a a challenging layout. Two issues with our round; the east part of the North East pairing is really in pretty bad shape. Way too much fairway with no grass. And, we had two guys behind us who seemed to have started on east (not north where as I understand it you're supposed to start) who were pretty much our tail for most of 9 holes.
However, still recommend the course and hope to play again soon
Dear Golfer,
Thank you for recently playing Compass Pointe and taking the time to share your feedback. Regards, Michael and the Compass Pointe Team
Busy but...
With have four courses the place was quite busy, but they have their act together with getting folks off on time, etc. Waits were not too long and it was a beautiful day so I think everyone took off work to play. Overall was a great experience!
Should’ve rewinded videos instead!
North, West, East, South...who gives a s$$t! Point the staff in the direction of some fertilizer. Worst fairways I’ve played in a long time and believe me, I’m not playing high end courses a lot. Do yourself a favor and play Forest Park, play Mt. Pleasant, heck...play Clifton Park at night!
Good course, good weather
Course was in good shape, with a few concerns. Fairways on the west course appeared to be burned out. Large brown areas and seemed dried out. Given the time of year, it hasn't been hot enougn for that. Greens were in good shape and read true. Even though there was a good crowd, pace of play was still good.
Dear Golfer,
Thank you for playing Compass Pointe the other day and sharing your feedback. Unfortunately, due to the weather this winter and early spring the Bermuda grass has been slow to come out of dormancy. We hope to have it greening up soon! Regards, Michael and the Compass Pointe Team
Nice
Will be back! Course was in nice shape. Able to putt from first cut. Holes were challenging but not too bad! Great company to boot!
Dear Golfer,
Thank you for playing Compass Pointe and we are pleased to read you enjoyed your road. Hope to see you back out soon. Michael
Good shape fun to play course
We had a good time. Course was in good shape. Would definitely play it again. Fees were reasonable for the track. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a challenging course.

If only every round was like this...
Superb customer service! Requested to play ahead of local high school athletes at 3pm. I was sent South/West and notified of recent work done on West Course (new fairways). I was unaffected by the conditions and pace of play was superb. No one in front, no one behind. Played in 3:30 and still collected numerous balls...and ticks and spiders. Thank you Compass Point.
