Slooooow Play

Love this course but every time I am plagued with slow motion golf. 4 hrs for 18 on a Tuesday afternoon is ridiculous what is a weekend like? Do you need a hotel room? 5 somes and yes, even a 6 some today!

Course in its usual great shape, save the standard Metro Least moonscape greens thanks to bumpkins that don’t know how to repair ball marks, cmon hicks, getcha a divot tool for Christmas!!

Awesome layout, above average conditions for October, will be back

I played a partial round a couple years back before thunder and lightning prematurely ended a tournament. Finally got back out there and the course did not disappoint. Best conditions of any public course I've played the past two month that have been very dry. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in great shape. A ton of fun with wide views out of the tee box, rewarded for accurate drives, and technical greens. Staff could afford to smile, but will be back based on the golf, not the warmth of service.

Pace of play

I realized today why I only play Spencer several times per year even though I’m a local. The pace of play as well as the level of clientele is always so bad. Tee times are stacked together and no one ever lets you play through. Great course but when you struggle to finish a round or it takes 5+ hours each time that is what keeps me from playing so often. Even with a good hot deal price.

Great Course in Great Condition

I was really impressed how good of condition the course was for late September. None of the greens were stressed and they are always fast. No aeration yet, so the greens were smooth.

On hole 11, it was nice to see they cleared all the brush/cattails in front of the green.

Very friendly staff at Spencer T. Olin and the price is very reasonable.
