Golfer Reviews
Hackers heaven
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
Best day off ever
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.
Great Value for the money...
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..
Great day of golf!
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
Perfect for my twlight weekend.
Thanks for the friendly staff.
good, challenging course
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.
Dry!!
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.
Excellent course due to staff
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.
Bethesda
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.
Great on the golf course
Pace was exceptional, clean bathrooms, challenging course. Was a great day on the golf course. Playing golf instead doing chores.
First visit at Bethesda Range
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.
Economical Golf
Good course for the money but be prepared for a long round of golf. A quick round is 4.5 hours here and I've played before where it took 5.5 hours. Course is extremely busy and a lot of people walk. Lots of deals also leads to lots of golfers. I really like the course but it isn't a top 100 course or anything. Just something that you go to when you want an easy course to play or are golfing with a friend who isn't very good at golf!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the course and thank you for your feedback in regards to our conditions.
Some days are tougher then others but pace of play is at the top of our list everyday. Improving pace of play is a goal shared throughout our industry.
