The Links at Stillwater Golf & Country Club

Unbeknownst to me, the course is under severe construction. 3/4 of the greens were cut in the fairway. I paid $36 on GolfNow but the course is only charging $18 due to the maintenance. I spoke to the clubhouse about the discrepancy and the poor conditions. I was met with an incredibly defensive older man who was unwilling to empathize with me paying DOUBLE for such a POOR golf course and experience. He continued to talk over me and kept exclaiming that The Links received ZERO money from GolfNow and could/would do nothing for me. He condescendingly blamed me for booking online instead of calling in for a tee time. I don't recommend contributing to this poorly run establishment. I wasn't offered any reconciliation for the issue and an apology wasn't offered. I will not be playing at The Links and will be recommending to others to stay away. Such a shame that a business's representatives cannot see past their own noses. We have to do better.

Dress code was not following the slightest. The greens has divots and places where people put out their cigarettes. Used dip all over the greens as well. The fairways were in awful shape not even taken care of in the slightest. My group was playing at a decently fast pace and the rude people continued to hit into us. Terrible course and will never go back.

This golf course is in horrible shape. Only a couple tee boxes actually have grass. Fairways aren’t good but could be worse. Overall layout is complete trash. 18 holes crammed into way too small of acreage. Lots of reviews saying this course is tight. There’s a difference between a course being tight and just being a horrible layout. Wear a helmet on the back 9. Five fairways within 100 yards of each other. Way better off playing just across the road or making a 20 minute drive south. Way better courses for same price.

Take advantage of the easier holes because there are several holes at the Links that will challenge even the most seasoned golfer. The greens are in great condition but, boy howdy, they are quick! I’m looking forward to playing there again soon.

The fairways mainly had zero grass and a majority of the tee boxes had zero grass as well. Terrible conditions. You’d rather play in the rough than in the fairway because you knew you had grass at least.

The course is in shambles right now, dead grass fairways and horrid greens. The pace of play is also an issue. I once saw a group of 6 teens playing on one hole. They took 5 minutes to advance 40 yards. I’m sure the course looks better in the late summer but I’ll stay away until then.

Course conditions were terrible. I’m sure they’re working on it, judging by huge mounds of sand off the back side of the club house, but should have made this known. Grass was hard to find, weeds yes, mud yes, bare dirt yes, grass no! I realize this is a budget course and college town, but the players there was ridiculous. We were offered to play through a few times, as soon as we teed off, ready for next stroke, they where hitting into us. Came across two ridiculously large groups. Even at discounted fees, won’t be going back.

First I will say the staff in clubhouse are very helpful and cordial which is nice. Now to the condition of the course. Yes it has been very dry here until recent rains, but rain alone will not help the course conditions out. Management of course is obviously not committed to improving the conditions as it has been declining over the last several years IMO. I’ll start at the tee boxes which are extremely neglected. Most tee boxes are now all dirt and in dire need of re sod. The tee boxes need leveling severely. Fairways are not much better as most of them are also approaching being all dirt. Bunkers around course are rarely raked and in dire need of new sand being brought in and bunker walls need maintenance as well. The greens I will say are at least being paid attention to as they are all in good to almost excellent shape. There looks to be no general maintenance being done to trim trees, clean up nasty growth at bases, no picking up of limbs etc. Another plus is at least they have ball cleaners at some holes and are starting to place water jugs out once again. I hate to be this critical of a course but feel everyone should be made aware, because the nice staff does not warn you before taking your green fee payment. The Links has to invest more money and personnel in the up keep of this course or people will simply quit visiting it.

there was no grass in the fair way. greens were okay.

The fairways were bare dirt and couldn’t find grass to hit off in parts of fairway

Went there for my first time yesterday. Really windy. Good course if you want to send it. Fairways are really tight and hazards are all over the place.
The driving range is a literal pond. You tee off into a big body of water. I’ve never seen that before and it was a little different. Still not bad. Course had 10$ big buckets of balls.
Greens were sandy but that’s typical aeration
Only drawbacks to this course is the layout is super confusing. Granite, it was my first time being there but finding the driving range and the first tee box was a little confusing.
All in all, it’s a good course for the money. If you want a challenging day that’s going to test how straight you can hit. It’s for you. Not a bad links style course.
I’m sure as the season progresses it’ll get a lot better play

Fun course, challenging if you don’t hit straight. Greens were a little rough but it’s that time of year. Play here every chance I get

Layout is fun, greens are ok but fairways are in terrible condition. Will not be back unless they actually grow grass

Everything was pretty good. I realize we have had a lot of hot dry weather but fairways were really bare and hard.
