Bethesda Grange Golf Course

Within context of it being about 30 minutes away, this is a reasonable course for the average golfer. Playing from the blues, the par 3s are not at all easy, and there are holes like 18 where you need to have a reasonable carry. The sand traps are in good condition. Pace of play is an issue, as this course seems to get a lot of play. The staff were very welcoming. I had an issue with my cart and they brought me another one very promptly on the course, and when I asked the cart person for a coffee on the 10th hole, she went and got me one from the clubhouse. Overall, it is not an extremely challenging course, but it has some challenging holes, and is a nice break from other more challenging courses.

If you are average or above average avoid this course. I watched people pick up my ball as fairways almost overlap each other. One point had 9 people on the same fairway playing 3 different holes. Ranger was more interested in fishing balls out of the creek than keeping the pace of play up. Had 4 groups on one tee on 3 consecutive holes

We had an enjoyable round. The pace could have been quicker but overall a good say

Front player is too slow.

Too much waiting time.

But, I cannot not find Marshall

I played the first nine by myself and then joined another two some on 12.

The course is in really good shape given the dry conditions.

For whatever reason the staff was there but wouldn't check us in until 15 minutes before my tee off. One of the patrons asked why they weren't checking us in and the staff said no reason.

Bethesda is always in good shape, well run and good pace of play; very few delays....

Course condition was good, layout was plain, but the greens were VERY GOOD. Fast and true

Booked a 4sone and this was the first time 3 of us had played the course - thank goodness we had some insight on a few of the holes - thanks Scooter.... we never waited on one single hole, and we're not rushed from behind either - great pace of play, we were done in 4hrs flat. Greens were pretty true and in good condition. Definitely worth every dollar...... we will be back soon..

Early season and the course was in great condition. Green still coming into shape and will be great in a couple of more weeks. 2 of us got out at 845am and the four ball ahead let us though on the 5th.. No real hold ups the rest of the way.. done in under 4 hours. Great for a Sunday. Good early season golf experience.

Perfect for my twlight weekend.

Thanks for the friendly staff.

The course was well maintained. The staff were very friendly. There were many people playing which is why the pace eventually slowed down. They did try to space out the players in the first tee (about 8-9 apart) but it just slowed down once you got to the 4th hole. It would also be nice if they provided yardage for those hazards in the middle of the fairway (e.g. 200 yards to clear the water, etc). Overall, it was a nice course to play.

The course was in "ok" condition, with everything green and the greens weren't punched yet. Green speed was average, tees were in good shape and the pace was average. But the course was very dry and firm (don't think the sprinklers were engaged yet). Difficult to almost impossible to take a divot and no ball marks from a high, well struck wedge (lots of roll-out). A little watering and rain wouldn't hurt at all.

I wouldn't pay full price, only if I get a deal on Golfnow

the green is the worst I had even played and staff is not friendly at all.

I haven`t played here for over 15 years, which is odd since it is a short distance from where I live. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There aren`t too many hazards to have to deal with. Yet, since the distance to the creeks isn`t marked down, it makes it a bit more challenging. My friend has played here often, so she helped advise me on where to shoot. I really appreciate how a marshal approached us and asked if we`d like to play through another foursome, who were slower. Later on another foursome told us to also play through also. Everyone was so polite and friendly. I`ve been at many courses, where you can catch up to people, but they immediately hit their balls so you can`t even ask them, even though they know they`re slowing down your game. It would be nice if the course map was more detailed so you knew where certain hazards were located, or if signs were posted. For players golfing here for the 1st time, it would be nice of there were better signs to let you know which scorecards to get (there are 3 courses). The course is fairly forgiving and the greens aren't too difficult to read. I ended up grabbing a scorecard, which didn't apply, but fortunately my friend had the right one. It would be really helpful if the grounds staff could blow off more of the leaves...if your ball bounces just off the fairway, it can be impossible to find it. Overall, I was very impressed and would play here again.

It took 5 Hours and forty minutes to finish the round because of slow play from groups ahead of us.

Good value for the money. Best of the 3 courses at Rolling Hills.

One thing that the Pro-Shop should do is tell players that they have just sanded the greens to make them aware of the conditions of the greens.
Other than that the course seems to be in good shape.

Pace was exceptional, clean bathrooms, challenging course. Was a great day on the golf course. Playing golf instead doing chores.

The course is of average difficulty with good sized fairways and not too dense for trees. The rough is pretty thin and short. The bunkers are a good challenge especially as it had rained overnight and made them hard underneath. Most drives a straight down and don't need a lot of draws or fades.
n overall good golfing experience for fun.
