Shandin Hills Golf Club

There should be warnings as to the greens being treated with sand and that is aside from the fact that the front nines conditions are not worth the fees compared to courses nearby.

The staff and layout are superb, great scenery. I can deal with somewhat rough fairway conditions but the greens were in poor shape front nine was almost unplayable. Fairways are in solid shape, but the greens make the course almost unplayable.

Course is in need of a care the Greens are in really poor shape

I understand it's the Dino, but I don't remember the course being this bad when I played a year ago. Greens are in bad shape. Tee boxes are diabolical. The layout is fun so it has potential, but for the same price as other courses I won't be back.

The last time we played this course it was in good condition, this time not so much. The greens were in horrible shape, had a ton of bare spots which affected the roll of the ball. Haven't had rain in a while and some of the traps had standing water. We did see several spots where they may be having watering/ drainage issues as well as several pipe repairs going on. If memory serves me right they went under new management in the last year, used to get a free meal with your fees but that went away. I get that it is winter but we play weekly at different courses and none are in this kind of shape. I put that I would not recommend this course due to what shape the course was in

The course was in such bad shape, not worth the cost.

Every green and I mean every green had a bunch of holes and divots. Poor, poor maintenance. It was worse than playing after a course has had the greens punched. The fairways were just as bad. I can’t believe that they ask and get the prices they have posted. The pace of play was slow and backed up. It took nearly 5 hours to complete the round.

The track was overall good. However there were a few greens that were a bit rough. The $5 dollar Hotdogs were really good.

This course used to be much better a couple of years ago, but it has significantly declined since then. The fairways are now mostly dirt, rocks, and weeds, with no greenery in sight. The greens are completely damaged—just sand with so many patches that it’s impossible to roll the ball straight without hitting numerous bumps that throw off its direction.

The marshal is very rude, and they are cramming in too many players at once, which slows down the pace of play. For example, they let a group of five play ahead of a twosome, causing unnecessary delays. There’s no cart service, and the lunch staff is unfriendly, with a particularly bad attitude. Overall, it feels like the employees here are unhappy with their jobs, and it shows.

Course had plenty of tee times available. Now I know why. Club house looks like it’s going out of business, staff not really that friendly, course was in horrible condition. Tee boxes were never level or in good shape, greens were all patchy-half dead and diseased with divot marks everywhere. Impossible to putt on most greens. Standing water everywhere, including in the middle of multiple fairways. Layout is terrible and cart paths start and end with no consistency or reason, making it impossible to find each tee box easily. Pace of play was great on a Tuesday afternoon (probably because the course is not well maintained at all).Golf carts don’t have GPS (not a game changer issue) but they are the slowest and weakest powered carts of all time. Range balls were shockingly good, so that was a win. Also, the deal once included a free hot dog and soda at the turn, but that deal must be dead because the food and beverage stand was closed at 3:00 in the afternoon.
