Wow!

We had driven down from Cleveland to thaw out and tee it up. We were completely blown away by this course. The staff couldn't have been anymore accommodating. The course was in beautiful shape and very challenging although fair. The restaurant was very nice as was our server. A great place to enjoy a great meal at a reasonable price before a 10 hour drive home. The Tillery Tradition can have my money any day and I will gladly make an 1,100 mile round trip drive to play there again!

great course go value

I live 30 miles from the course and though it had rained here in the last few daysit wasn't heavy. The course conditions were as though they had a heavy downpour prior to play. That was the only issu I had. For winter the course was superbly maintained. Large but tough greens test your ability to sink putts.

excellent layout

I love the layout of this course. Of course the fairways were brown but you can tell its going to be beautiful in the warmer months. about 1 hour from home, further than i usually go to play. But it was well worthit. Will be going again. I'll probably play from the blue tees next time as thegold tees make it a little too short.

This course has Green Problems

There are dead spots on the greens. Some of the tee boxes are rough.
Other than that, this is a beautiful course and it is very common to see wildlife on many fairways. Beautiful Club House and great cart paths.

Nice Course

Nice Course. Fairways are bermuda, so they had already turned brown but in good shape. Keep ball in fairway and no issues, outside fairway leave trouble but it is that time of year. Greens were in great shape for the most part. Being first time at course wish they had course book, would suggest printing hole viewer from webpage. Playing partner first time as well at course so many holes were "blind" holes, would have definitely benefited from course book. Not as long as I thought, would have left driver in bag on certain holes.

Play this course if in the area

I happened to be visiting family along Lake Tillery and was able to book a round after reading other golfnow reviews. The course is in very good condition - I played after a few days of rain and had no problem with soaked fairways or greens.

I like the layout with the rolling fairways and uneven lies - makes the round more challenging and the views more enjoyable.

Great place to play

Hidden gem. Only wish I wasn't an hour away.
Staff is great...owners are great...members are great.

This ain't your typical country club...with snooty ten cent millionaires. These are good...salt of the earth type folks. Only club I go to where the parking lot is filled with Chevy Trucks vs. German luxury sedans....and I LOVE THAT!

Always nice playing here

Conditions of course excellent. Losing a little of the greens here and there around some edges maybe fungus I don't know. Typical summertime ballmarks but better than most courses I've played lately. Greens rolled slow but true. Great time with my two sons and a friend. Even had my grandson ride with us so thoroughly enjoyable day for me despite the summer heat and humidity. One of my favorite courses.
