Landa Park Municipal Golf Course

Great golf course, fairways and greens in great shape

Saw beverage cart once, teed off at 120. Saw cart on 4th hole and never again. Maybe they can post beverage cart hours so everyone will know whether or not to purchase snacks and drink at the turn.

1. Hard to get a tee time in the summer before 1:30pm, two weeks in advance.

2. Too hard, and too long to wait, to join the elderly men's group at the course. My name has been on the waiting list for a long time.

Love this beautiful course!! The trees, the river, and wildlife just add to the beauty of the course. The staff the best and most helpful!! We play here almost every Sunday for all these reasons.

I’m an avid golfer and the only downside is no range to warm up on. Stellar green conditions! Great fairways! Always a fun time at landa!

After five (5) years, I've finally returned to this nice, quiet course.

While there's no driving range, you do have the option of using the two (2) netted hitting bays that accommodate four (4) golfers at a time. The clubhouse has a little bit of everything along with a full bar and small banquet room. Clubhouse and course personnel were all in a fine mood. You can tell there are a lot of (retired) regulars that likely play here (esp. on weekdays). It's like they can tell you're new/new-ish to the course; all good.

The course isn't long. But they made good use of the land in laying out the course. They compensate for the shorter distance with doglegs, narrowing fairways, well placed water and bunker hazards, forced carries, etc. I noticed a small yardage marker on one of the cart paths. I didn't see them elsewhere because I just wasn't looking. Using my phone for distance eliminates the need for me to know where these are (although I like them on a course). However, the carts (now) have touchscreen GPS in the cart. I love these things! The carts also had ball/club washers, sand, USB ports, multiple (large) cub holders, and extra padded seats. Those are so welcome on a four (4) hour ride.

The tee boxes were all holding up quite well for the amount of play they must get. The fairways were all in good order as well. I didn't see any need for repairs nor maintenance. And I'm sure this course gets quite a lot of play. So kudos to the grounds crew for keeping it in shape. The bunkers were well defined and kept. The sand however was hard and wet in some, and then just wet in others. We hadn't had any rain so it was just from watering. They certainly added an extra level of difficulty today. The greens were all in fine shape. Nothing caught my eye as an issue. They're not soft ... not too many ball marks on any of them. So that may mean you need to take off a yard or two on your approach -- like any of us can do that on purpose, right!? :) They were a nice tempo today -- not fast, not slow.

No beverage cart on this particular Tuesday. But I also don't expect on on this course. Since this is only my second time playing the course, I don't know if they ever have them. But I'm also not one to ever need a beverage cart. On a similar note, I do recall seeing a water jug station next to a ball washer.

During our afternoon round, a maintenance worker drove around the tee boxes and green skirts on a tractor while spraying them green. Is it just paint? Or is there anything useful in there like fertilizer etc? I have a feeling it's just paint. And it subsequently turned our balls, shoes, and any club grips green-ish ... whatever touched the boxes and skirts; unavoidable for us that afternoon on a number of holes. There's no good time for them to do it as there will always be golfers out playing. Still, is it really necessary? Is it just for looks or does it help in any way?

Don't forget about the wildlife. While we only saw a few ducks today, there were a ton of deer (yearlings, does, bucks) running around. You can tell they live on the course and in the woods along the edge as they're quite comfortable with the golfers around them.

Course was in great shape. Always a fun and semi-challenging round at Landa.

The course has received many landscaping upgrades and looks nice. They need to over-seed during the winter months because there was not much grass to hit off … this makes pitching and chipping much more challenging and usually results in poor contact with the ball. Also I prepaid for 2 players using GolfNow but my partner (who arrived after me) was charged the normal rate. A simple check by the clerk would have confirmed this fact, but he neglected to do so and charged the full (non discounted rate).
