Harvey Penick Golf Campus

This course is right next to the YMCA and seems to be geared towards getting kids started with golf. Each hole had a "kid" tee with special holes just for them. The pace of play was nice, and 90% of the greens are in good shape. There are only a couple holes that you can use your driver. The rest are about 150ish yards. For a nominal $17 for a weekend morning tee time, I would play this course again.

My partner and I played using a GolfNow "Hot Deal", with a Thursday 10:18 tee time. Arrived an hour early to warm up on their practice range. However, the free range balls promised by the GolfNow confirmation were denied. Attendant said something about GolfNow not being willing to remove the part about range balls being included in the deal. So we putted on the practice green for awhile, but seeing no other players arriving to play I politely asked the attendant if we could go ahead and start play. He gruffly said no, that he would give us a 10-minute call when it was time. He seemed to clearly resent us playing on the deeply discounted green fee, and was going to make us adhere strictly to the terms of the deal, even though there would clearly be no inconvenience to anyone with us going ahead. This course is owned and operated by the First Tee program, primarily for the benefit of the youth of the community. But we were playing mid-morning on a school day when there obviously were no kids around, just a few seniors like ourselves. You would think the course would appreciate any revenue they could get and not begrudge those playing with the GolfNow discount, but that was definitely not so. We will not be going back.

This course is great for beginners. You can play the whole thing with your 7iron-wedges.

$10 for range balls, a cart and 18 holes

Not sure if there is a better deal out there.

Great place to get in some valuable practice. I don't like to go to the range, but this deal on golfnow comes with the range balls and it forces me to practice and get better.

I highly recommend this course more than any other to the beginning golfer.

It is a pretty course, but for much of the round I was waiting on soccergolfers running around on the fairways. The soccergolf course is laid out in the middle of the actual golf holes, and for a couple of the holes it really isn't an issue that there are soccer balls bouncing around. But come 5 6 and 7, I had to wait long periods of time on the tee box as the soccergolfers bounced their balls around. 7 is particularly atrocious as there are 3 like 3 soccergolf holes in the middle of where i want to land my tee shot.

I really think the issue wouldn't be too grave if the soccergolfers had a better respect for golf, and the etiquette of playing through. Instead, they bounce around the middle of the fairways and play through you from behind as you try to line up your birdie putts.

Have to admit though, soccer golf looks pretty fun to play.

the only problem is the new foot golf course is combine along side the golf course now golfer has to wait for foot golfer to move. on the six hole it have two foot golf holes, the group that was infront or us took 5min before we could tee off on ths 6th.

Ohh boy.. They really made a mistake at this place. Harvey Penick wouldn't approve of a footgolf course being put right in the middle of his 9 hole golf course. Don't play here if you want to have a nice round golf. Overpriced, bad green on #6 (has been for months), footgolfers walking in front of the green. Don't waste your time or money. Go to bluebonnet or shadow glen!

No secret that this isn't one of the nicer courses around. However, for the $10 deal for 18 holes, one of the best values if you're just looking to play. I figured it was better than buying a medium bucket of range balls and I got to play 18 holes! Not the greatest golf atmosphere either, but it really makes you realize that golf is still a fun game, no matter the course. If you're just looking to play a quick short round this is your place (only 3 par 4's - only 1 able to use driver). Only major downside is foot golf is also on the course - but like I said earlier, still a great place to go hit a ball around a little bit! Also a great place to work on irons and ball striking.

The overall course experience was okay, I have no complaints about the conditions of the course. However, the course has begun letting people play "foot golf" while there are still golfers present. We waited for well over 45min between two holes for a group of intoxicated, obnoxious "foot golfers" to kick around their soccer balls on the fairway and on the greens. It wouldn't have been a problem if any of them had known anything about course etiquette, but unfortunately these people weren't the sort who come back to actually play golf. The greens were pock marked with these people wearing soccer cleats on the green and taking divots out of the green when shooting for their own "foot golf" pin.
I gave it a couple of rounds before voicing my opinion, but this has become a recurring problem. For that reason, I will not be returning to this course, nor will I recommend it to others. Don't go here if you're looking for a relaxing outing of golf.

Golf course was nice good place to play I have always liked to play there course is challenging for a small business!

Pretty good nine hole layout. Good for practice, and new golfers. City needs to lawn maintenance . Plenty of lost balls to find if you are brave enough to look under the first few feet of underbrush.

After looking up information on this course I was expecting much much more. When we arrived we noticed a lot of unmowed areas, rough patches of fairways, and horrible greens. We were greeted nicely and received great customer service. That was the only plus of the day. Otherwise the course is nothing close to what their online descriptions make out of it. I do not recommend to anyone unless you are trying to squeeze in an easy 9 holes.

Staff is unfriendly and rude. Course is way too easy. Greens badly need to be redone. I'd rather play a round at Butler or keep the $20.

It's a par 30 course with three par 4 holes. The course is beginner friendly, but does have several holes with forced carries that aren't easy for less skilled or physically weaker players. The course is surprisingly challenging for better players and has several holes that aren't easy pars.

This facility is great and accomplishes everything it is meant to. Fun and challenging design, generally good conditions, affordable and quick pace of play are what makes it great. The greens can be less than ideal but the rest is fine. You can walk 9 holes in less than 2 hours. I wouldn't say it's a downside, but the course is primarily par 3 holes with three par 4's mixed in. You can hit the driver on the par 4's but the rest are irons only. It's a great after work option or a day when you don't want to commit to a full 18 holes. I recommend anyone who enjoys golf come out and see what the course has to offer.

The range is another nice feature to have and the 3 hole practice course is a good way to work on your approach shots.

Foot Golf was recently introduced here. I haven't played but it looks fun.

Played for the first time at Harvey Penick and was not impressed. The greens where being aerated but it seemed that they were being aerated by using rebar. Made 3 foot putts that are makeable on most courses extremely difficult and sinking putts is what matters when the course is basically a par 3 course for the exception of the three par 4 holes. Also there were some water jugs on the course that were not refilled and it was a extremely hot and humid day. Overall the course needs a lot of work but it has potential to be a good short game course.

Greens are in very bad shape and the rest of the course looks like it needs maintnance!!

This was my first time playing HP and I found the staff friendly but the course confusing with multiple flags (4+ flags on some holes) on the fairway and around the green. Due to no course layout available, and the multiple flags it was often difficult determining which flag was the actual hole.

It had just rained and the cart paths were more of a mud path..

The greens were awful, very hard and spotty grass coverage.

I liked the overall course layout and will wait until the course is repaired and in better condition before playing it again.

Great practice course. Really enjoy the practice facilities.
Greens need a lot of work. Aerator holes on greens way to large.

This is a challenging layout in great surroundings. Always enjoy playing. Only problem, the greens had been punched one week earlier and were basically unputtable. This will improve in time.
