Player at Lyman Orchards Golf Club

The golf course is very challenging with a lot of blind shots The golf course paths need to be re-done with the bridges going over Brooks. Need to have a beverage cart on the course. No ranger in sight to get pace of play moving faster.

My only complaint...no hole map either on card or the hole signs... As a first timer, it's difficult to know the layout...

This course has always been over priced for the quality.... I like the layout but there seems to be little attention to keeping up the overall landscape. Don't play here often because of that.

Great course in really good condition. Pace of place was slow, but it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, so I didn’t expect it to be quick. I would definitely play again!

I played nine holes after work and was able to jump on quite easily by myself. The staff at the desk said that I had to take a cart (was included in price), presumably to keep up with pace of play, but afterwards I was told that it is normally not necessary.

The course was in terrific shape, albeit with tight fairways and landing zones. The greens were tough to read, as some were quick while others seemed slower. If it's your first time playing, be aware that some holes have unpredictable layouts that even the card can't properly show. I lost a number of balls because I anticipated a different landing space than what was actually in front of me.

Overall, was definitely a great course and would go back for sure.

Eh it’s ok. Upkeep of the course is questionable. The course is set up with lots of blind spots. But it be nice if they prune some of the spots for safety reasons. They were also having a tournament on the jones course so some guests were little rowdy and inconsiderate during the tee box and on the greens.

When we play at Lyman we typically choose the Player course. We are accustomed to how it needs to be played (keep the driver in the bag on 2-6). We got a hot deal from Monday and four of us played for about $37 each if you add in the fees.

Course was in really good shape. It was very windy so playing a challenging course already made it that much more challenging. Three of the par threes are downhill so the wind either really hurt you or helped you a lot.

Since it was Monday there was no issue with pace of play. We let one single by us early and never had anyone play up on us until 17.

It took me a while to embrace this course. Now after playing it so many times I prefer it over the Jones course.

We found the course very difficult since this is the first time we had played and very few of the greens are visible from the tee. The course map the pro shop provided was essential. Great setting and spectacular views from some of the holes. It would be an especially great course to play in the autumn. Elevation changes make the course very challenging.

This was my first time playing this course. I am an average golfer at best. This was by far one of the top 3 courses i ve played . We had an excellent time course was in great shape can t wait to play again.

Lyman is in great shape, afternoon rates are very fair and in my opinion one of the best values in the state.

Sand traps had rocks in them and the mowing of the rough was terrible. There was lots of clumps of grass left over from mowing, making it difficult to find a ball.

Played the Player Course in the heat 95 degrees the Saturday of memorial Day weekend. Great early season rate. The course was in superb shape, even if our game was not :-) Enjoyed the day.

Challenging, great lay out. Have to be acurate with your shots. Awesome views,

I had heard a lot of negatives about The Player course, so I went in with low expectations but an open mind. It wasn’t as bad as what I’d heard. The layout is the biggest issue. Basically, the waste areas are much too large and the landing areas are too restrictive. Some of the fairways are angled strangely or too short or narrow. There are several holes that you need local knowledge on, due to blind shots or surprises once you see the green. The pro shop has a complimentary map of the course which is a MUST if you’ve never played here. There are a few holes that just need to be reworked by either cutting down trees or re-grading the fairway to expand the landing areas. The back nine was definitely laid out better and we all preferred that.

As far as the conditions, it’s still early in the season and they had just recently aerated the greens (unputtable), so I can’t judge those. The fairways were in good shape, but the tee boxes were not. Some tee boxes also need to be leveled. Some were either crowned, sloped or undulated. Easy fix.

One thing that was annoying was that on each of the first 7 holes we had to wait to hit into each green because they were mowing them hole by hole in front of us. This was probably only due to bad luck and timing, but the grounds crew wouldn’t stop and wait for us to hit, they actually continued to mow while we waited for THEM to finish.

I will definitely go back later in the season and give this course another chance. I would only hope that management see the pitfalls and work to improve the playability of this track. Work on lengthening some fairways and expanding the landing areas. Remove two terrible blind shots (you know which ones) by re-grading the fairways and give players more options on ways to play a hole.

A rare warm day In February. The course was in good shape well drained considering the rain we have been having. The Greens were a bit unpredictable.

This is the more scenic of the two Lyman courses. There are a number of blind shots, but the starter told us all about them.
