The Ponds Golf Club - Red Golf Course

The course is more challenging than I imagined, and was in decent shape for how early it is in the season. My issues with this course are with the facilities and staff. When we walked in, we immediately overheard a couple passing us say "I am seriously regretting getting a membership here". That was a bad sign. The front desk was very rude, and acted like they were doing us a favor by allowing us to play golf here. I found it very strange that I had to leave my driver's license to rent a cart, and had to pay a $5 deposit for a cheap cooler for beer. To me, that speaks to the relationship between the course and their patrons which apparently is not a good one. I found it very tacky and annoying. I will return because I liked the course but I will walk out if I get one lick of attitude from the staff. Also, the bathrooms reek like urine, you can smell them within 15 feet of the door. Gross.

I have played at The Ponds many times as it is a course my boyfriend and I frequented regularly last summer. We enjoy that it is typically less crowded than the courses closer to the city and the option to play 3 different 9 hole courses is great. However, this experience was one of our worst. The staff was very rude. The person behind the counter ran my card without telling me the final amount and when I had a question on the total, he snapped at me telling me I was wrong. 2nd, when we went out to get our carts, there was no cart available. We had to go back into the club house and wait for the staff to make time to get us a cart. Very rude during this process as well. I don't know if this is because it is early in the season or if these are new employees, but I will definitely think twice about returning to this course only because of the staff.

this is a nice 27 hole course with a somewhat challenging hole on each nine holes. fun to play

Fun round. Birdies are getable, as well as double bogies.

We were pretty excited to play this purse since it was a regular stop for a co worker of mine.
We bought on golfnow so luckily we didn't pay full price.
They have requirement that you leave your car key or ID to rent a cart. What?!!!? Obviously they don't trust their clientele. That alone told me I was never coming back.
The course was just ok. Built on a swamp with many forced carries over marshland. Greens were quite long. Tee boxes in tough shape. Fairways were very soggy as it had rained the day before and the water doesn't drain since it's all a swamp.
Staff not very knowledgeable nor were they friendly.
Many othe places to spend my money. This isn't one of them.

The Tee Boxes on the Blue and White courses NEED alot of improvement !! Many of the Tee boxes were so broken up it was hard to find a level stance. Worse Tee boxes I've ever played off of. I don't know if I'd play this course again. I played off the Blue and White Tee boxes and had my lowest round of the year. A 75, That being said it was a good day of golf for me.

Too many lay ups as the course is quite quirky. Difficult finding yardage plates. Lots of guesswork. Greens are fair but many of the pin placements were on a slope. Tee boxes were extremely beat up.

great course for the money. Challenging from the black tees with lots of forced carries and semi blind landings. The only downside to this course is there are no visible yardage markers from tees and no scorecard to show distances to different hazards around course. All in all it is still a fun course to play

I played The Ponds a couple times previously and consider the course a moderate challenge. I booked a teatime through Golf Now at a very modest price so the experience was a very fair value. The course requires substantial additional maintenance and does have some interesting terrain and challenging holes as a result. I would give it a moderate recommendation.

mow the greens its a great layout but mow the greens

I drive almost 45 minutes for these 27 holes, they always have discounted rates and playing during the week is less than a 3 hour round.

Normally a great course but 4" of rain the night before gave the ponds a whole new meaning, I'll try it again after it drys out a little.

First nine finished in 2:29 minutes, five groups stacked on tenth tee. The one positive, good place to play if your looking for an audience.

Restrooms were in need of repair!!
Bridges on the course are in need of repair, with wood planks needing replacement.

If I had to pay full price I wouldn't be very happy. Owner needs to put some money in to this course. Not just the Refuge. Pace was great no one was there.

With 27 holes to play a great course to get out and get in a round without spending a whole day doing it. Bring your A-game.

only saw the beverage cart once at the first hole than at 18 was a perfect weather day

Beautiful to look at. Tough for a 90's golfer. But if you keep your head about you you'll survive it and be better for it

played in 97 degree weather, so course mostly empty, except for idiots like me and my partner, but really great playing with no body ahead or behind you.8/26/

They placed us in our round behind their Course championship so we had nowhere to golf after the first nine unless we wanted to re-golf the same 9 holes. Was told I would get a 9 hole raincheck and was only given half of what I paid instead which would only cover a few holes under normal times. Will not be going back.....
