Poor Staff

Staff completely disregarded our tee time and didn’t allow us to play. They said they were completely booked until the afternoon despite the fact that no one was even on the tee box. Staff needs to be more accommodating to paying players.

First Time Playing

Go Somewhere Else

Driving range was in bad shape. It was small and the mats were muddy and thin. The range balls did not warrant the price.

Tee boxes were level but looks like it had cancer.

Greens were decent but had inconsistent speeds.

Saw a dude walking his dog in the front 9. There was also a loose dog chillen at the green on hole 11.

The people playing did not understand pace of play even after being told by the marshal to speed up there game. Even had a confrontation from a group after we skipped a hole to play on front of them because we watched them swing and miss 4 times even after they were instructed to play best ball and to keep up pace of play. They also had a kid with them. We were the third group to pass them.

We also saw multiple groups of 5.

Overall it took us 5H45M to finish this round. First and last time at this course.

Gave it another chance and glad I did

I decided to give the course another chance and I'm glad I did. The pace of play was pretty slow, but it was New Years Day so it was to be expected. The staff was really friendly and the course was in decent shape. Even though it's not a "pristine condition" golf course, it definitely has a nice layout with a lot of personality. All in all, still a very fun round of golf.

Easy to get tee times.

Fairways and tee boxes are not in the best conditions. Cheapest course in the area, so if nothing else, good place to practice and get a tee time.

Good value for the price

Yesterday was my third time playing in Shandin, course is in good condition for the winter, some dry spots but hey it’s winter. Pace of play is great, a lot of challenging par fives and long par fours, this course really challenges you to use your driver and long irons. The golf carts are super comfortable btw

No Marshall?

Played this course a few times now, probably won't be going back. We liked the course - it's in decent shape and the greens are, quite honestly, in great shape. The issue is the pace of play and, unfortunately, this seems to be a consistent issue. As we were waiting to tee off on hole number seven (behind another group who was waiting for the group ahead of them to finish up on the green), we were able to count a total of EIGHT groups bunched up on holes six, seven and eight. And no, that's not an exaggeration. We finished up after hole nine and called it a day. It's too bad, too - it's a decent course (especially for the money) but on the weekends you need to allow for about six to six-and-a-half hours for a round.

Employees are thieves

Do not leave anything behind or it will be stolen by one of the employees. I had just purchased a Buschnel Pro XE and used it for the very first time at this course. I had it attached to the golf cart and forgot it when I left. When I returned the cart, I brought it to the cart return area and unfortunately for me, I forgot to grab my rangefinder. The next day, I realized what I had done and I immediately called the course. I got a recording that said they were having technical difficulties and couldn't accept any phone calls. I have a friend who lives nearby so he stopped by the course for me and told them about the rangefinder we had left on the cart. The guy said no one had turned it in and the quickly claimed that sometimes customers take things off golf carts, almost like he knew an employee had taken it but he was covering for him. I've left things behind at other golf courses and they were ALWAYS there when I called about them. So if you want to play at this course, just don't forget anything on the golf cart or it will be stolen from you as well.

Fun Course

I enjoy this course a lot. The front nine has a lot of undulations and a variety of holes. The back nine is flatter and not quite as memorable. My only real complaint about the course is I wish the greens were quicker. The pace of play has been good when I’ve played here and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Marginal course

Knot grass starting to infiltrate greens. Greens are usually ok at this course but they are now marginal. Fairways as usual are sparse.

Know, before you play

The course is in decent shape greens were actually fast. The Course can definitely do some more maintenance to make the fairways and ruff more distinguishable. Pace of play for us that day was just over 4 hours but felts slow and we waited on every hole on the back 9 , and there was no starter to help direct guest to the right tee time. Although we got a sleeve of balls with the purchase of our round, I would rather have a practice warm-up bucket than sleeve balls. Nice thing was they did give us a hotdog. They just need more staff to help run course and maintain it! Play here if you want cheep price but expect a slow round.

Not as uncommon as you think, I have played behind a group of 6 at this course, they take off and once out away from club house join up as they know there is no marshel.

Don’t waist your money

Greens were in terrible shape, the rough is not being maintained tall weeds that were never there before. $41 twilight rate weekdayno food or drinks. The bunkers are not sand. This used to be our most common course for me and my group to play. Now it’s off the rotation.
