Shandin Hills Golf Club

It's a decent municipal course. The layout is pretty good. The greens are slow but well maintained. Staff is friendly and the free sandwich with your round is a nice bonus. The fairways are good at center but could use a bit of work around their edges. Overall it's a good bang for your buck but it does often play very slow.

Overall not a bad course. Better than average amenities. Terrible pace of play though. Played at 11:30 on a Thursday, no where close to fully booked. . 2 groups in front of us was a 6some. Never saw a Marshall or anyone trying to move them along. It didn’t help that the 2some in front of us consisted of 2 guys who could barley get off the tee box yet insisted to routinely hit 2-3 tee shots just for fun. Course has some promise but can’t go back after this disaster.

Upon arriving, staff member said that they had a mens city league and that I can only play the back 9 twice. Fair. The back 9 holes are poorly maintained with hardly designated tee boxes. Fairway markers are not marked for distance. Greens are poorly cut and small dirt patches that ruined your put. There was homeless people near the fence who tried to interfere with pace of play and the game overall. I thoroughly enjoy my homeless audience that kept asking for snacks and drinks. Also I noticed some players ahead of me that appeared to be intoxicated but confirmed it with numerous puking breaks. Definitely will not come back and will not recommend this course regardless of budget. Thank you.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing this track nearly 100X over the years. I haven’t been back since Covid until yesterday. Let me say I was worried about some of the recent post about poor course conditions but decided to give it a shot.

Luckily when I got to the course I found out some folks are just very hard to please no matter what. Are there some rough spots out there in the fairway that are sunburned? Yes… unpalatable and horrible like some recent reviews? Absolutely not. Look it’s 100+ degrees out here for over three months I’d you think it’s going to be deep Forrest green with pillow soft fairways all year long you are kidding yourself.

The course is being maintained very well and they are trying the best they can with the weather they are being dealt. The greens are soft and roll true… a little slow this time of year but that’s more because of them letting the greens grow out a little more to avoid them burning up.

Pace of play was a little slow but that’s more to do with the large mixture or experienced players and beginners playing the course. Not much the course marshal can do about that (4:40min round)

Overall still a fun track and I’ll definitely be back.

Only play here if it’s a hot deal. Not at all worth the full price. The fairways need work and the greens are so slow. The pace of play was horrible. The practice area was okay. I wouldn’t refer anyone here who plays regularly.

Like most courses, they have a water problem.

Fairways are dry and beat up. Bunkers are inconsistent as are the greens.

Decent course, fairways had some pretty dry spots. We booked our tee time for Sunday @ 8:48 but apparently there’s a golf club or something so we got pushed back 15-20 mins and got stuck behind a group of 5 golfers. Outside of that not bad, few includes some food and a drink

I have played at Shandin Hills a few times now and always enjoy it. If you want to warm up, they have a driving range and a bucket of balls is included with your game (I believe); you also can get a sandwich and drink from the snack bar with your receipt.

Hole are forgiving if your having a bad day, and still fun if your game is on point.
