Unprofessional owner

Our golf course purchased a used bar refrigerator from the owner Joe Salemi. He advertised the unit in great working condition and promised to keep the unit plugged in so we could verify its condition. After driving 2+ hours to pick it up the unit was neither plugged in or cold. We paid for it and loaded it up in good faith. Upon plugging the unit in it produced no cold temperatures. We contacted the owner immediately of the condition. After having a certified technician look at the unit he recommended we return it to which Joe agreed in writing with a full refund. Upon returning the unit he has failed to pay the refund he agreed to in writing. Totally unprofessional. A beautiful golf course with a less than reputable owner! Too bad…

Where Am I Going Again?

I've driven past this course a million times on the Ohio Turnpike and finally had to drive out and play it.

The course is in great shape, especially considering how dry the area has been this summer. The greens ran true, the fairways rolled well, and the rough was penal for a public course.

The real problem, and it is a considerable problem, is pace of play. The course layout leads to some of this because it is not linear at all. But 5:40 to play a weekday round is just pure madness. I'd love to come back, but I can't play well that slow.

VERY slow pace of play

Course is in good condition; good course layout. However, only play here if you have a lot of time. They have no course regulation or enforcement for speed of play. It can take 6+ hours to finish a round.

Solid but meh

Pace of play was terrible. Like, atrocious. Took my group 5hr & 45min to play 18. Called the shop to try to get them to get the group of 4 hackers in front of mine (one was walking outside of his cart) to move a little faster & they said “because the course is so long pace of play is expected to be 5hrs.” Here’s an idea: require higher handicaps to play further up tee boxes. Everything else was good to great though!

Been wanting to play here for a while. This course comes as advertised! Great layout. Pace of play is slow, but they tell you that ahead of time. It’s not a shock. The course slope rating should be higher. If you make a mistake off the tee, the course makes you pay for it. I look forward to playing here again.

Pace of play

Don’t come here unless you want to play a 6 hour round. Course is maintained pretty good and the layout is nice but there are no rangers enforcing pace of play and the tee times are booked too close together.

It's not the same anymore.

Having completed this round at my home course, I have made the decision to seek alternative golfing venues. I implore all golfers to demonstrate respect for the course and to familiarize themselves with established golfing etiquette. While the course typically experiences wear and tear during the summer months, the current condition has deteriorated significantly due to golfer behavior. Tee boxes are suffering from inadequate divot repair, with players failing to fill divots with sand, even when the displaced turf is readily accessible. Approach shots are similarly compromised by the prevalence of unfilled divots. The greens present the most significant concern, appearing to have been subjected to extensive chipping practice. While the groundskeepers bear responsibility for course maintenance, the initial responsibility lies with each individual golfer. Proper course care, including the repair of divots, contributes significantly to the overall condition. I am hopeful that the course will exhibit improvement upon my next visit.

Disgrace

It’s disgraceful for this course to be in this poor of condition. The greens are destroyed, divots absolutely everywhere and no one repairs them. The fairways are worse. Huge divots from irons shots lying everywhere. Giant swaths of turf just dug out from iron shots and no sand in them or the divots that are lying everywhere being put back into them to fill them. The course lay out is second to none. For it to be in this condition is absolutely disgraceful. I will not be returning. I’m disgusted.

GREAT overall experience

We moved away and it had been several years since I played Boulder and I forgot what an awesome course it is! Course conditions were excellent, layout is awesome and the clubhouse, halfway house and staff were superb! Highly recommend and now that we've moved back to the area I'll be back soon this time!
