Shandin Hills Golf Club

I started with single player and slowly worked my way up to multiplayer. It was all good value for money.

it was dried up the greens were spotted with unhealthy grass a lot of leaves bunkers were as hard as cement.

Never seen the greens so bad they looked like a KOA lot

Horrible like they don’t care different grass growing in spots all over

They use to have some ok good greens they let it go Whispering Lakes in Ontario has fairways that aren’t the best but at least they put pride into the greens.

Very nice layout. Lots of bunkers here, greens were fast. Lot of downhill holes. Overall fun and easy.

I really like the course but the condition of the course really needs work. The greens are the worst I've seen, The sand is so hard I would'nt even call it sand and the course is filled with mud and dead spots everywhere. I really think it has a lot of potential but I imagine it would cost a lot which seems to dictate how courses look which is understandable.

I recently played a round of golf at Shandin Hills Golf Club, a city-owned course that once held promise but now seems to be neglected. Unfortunately, the experience left me disappointed and frustrated, as the course’s management appears to be running it into the ground, possibly to benefit their other golf interest across town, Arrowhead Country Club.

When we arrived, we were shocked by the condition of the greens. The photos above give a glimpse of what we encountered: patchy, diseased, and poorly maintained surfaces that made putting a nightmare. The greens were riddled with bare spots, dead grass patches, and an uneven texture that no golfer should have to endure. It’s clear that little to no effort has been made to keep these greens playable.

On a previous occasion our group had booked an event at Shandin Hills well in advance, yet the management seemed to go out of their way to encourage us to switch our event to Arrowhead Country Club. It felt like a push to steer golfers away from Shandin Hills and over to their other property. This tactic seemed unethical—especially since we had already committed to playing here.

It’s disappointing to see a public course, which should be maintained for the enjoyment of the entire community, apparently treated as an afterthought. The neglect at Shandin Hills is apparent, and it’s a shame that the management is prioritizing their private interests over the upkeep of this city-owned property.

Until significant improvements are made, I would recommend avoiding Shandin Hills and taking your game to a course that values its patrons and maintains its facilities responsibly.

This should be the time crab grasses uprooted so most of the greens be back to normal once the regular grasses recover. The fairways are not bad, it’s a good place to judge and evaluate your driving accuracy. The time slot for hot deals allow completion of round with plenty of time

Course was in so so shape, not too bad and not too good. Greens could use some help but not too bad, fairways were manageable. This is a mature course, lots of trees and wide fairways. Fun course to play. Staff is friendly but sparse. BYOB on weekdays.

The amount they charge at this course compare to the nearby courses this one is not work the money. If I was paying $20 bucks then I could understand, but the greens have patches of sand, dead/dried spots, and WEEDs. Felt like I was putting in a sandbox. If invest money into the fairways and greens then you would have a nice course, but never going back.

The course is in very poor condition. The greens are currently terrible, lots of divots. The grass looks like it hasn’t been mowed in weeks. I was there a year ago and the course was in way better condition. Hopefully they can fix it. Definitely not worth a $64
