Ed Oliver Golf Club

The greens were poor, uneven, and missing grass. Early October is when the course should be in the best shape and this one isn't. Rough, uneven fairways with most balls ending up in poor lies. Sand traps were mostly dirt and stones.

What is wild is Rock Manor and Delcastle are both owned by the same company as Ed Oliver and both of those courses are worlds better maintained than this historic gem. I think the management is just bad, which is sad as this is a good location for a decent course.

I play here alot, its close to my work. It's not what one would call a "good" golf course, bunkers are a mess, carts are on their last leg, cart paths are falling apart, lots of surly retiree golfers. But, its relatively cheap and relatively convenient so location location location wins out.

Course personnel were great. Start was on time and pace of play was great. Course was really drying out on the fairways which helped tee shots some but some rain is greatly needed. Greens were in pretty good shape and a bit fast on the sunny slopes. Some of the bunkers could use a bit more sand around the edges. Overall it was a good round of golf.

First off, to generations now this course is colloquially known as Porkey's. The course is fine if that's what you're expecting, just "fine". Greens were better than I expected but that's not saying a lot. The ground is rock hard so your ball lands and can go a multitude of directions. It's hard to hit a pure shot when the ground and turf has zero give to it. Bar area is nicely redone and staff is friendly. There's not really anything interesting to report about the course design. I really only play this course with beginners, it's fine for that or a round where you just want to get out and don't really care about your game.

The course itself is fun the play with a few dog legs but most holes are flat and straight. Pace of play when I went (10:40am tee time on a Sunday) was very good. Only had to wait a couple mins on a few holes and there was no one behind, rushing us from the tee box. The ranger was constantly making his rounds and making sure people played on pace. The course could be kept a little better. Some of the tee boxes were really patchy and tough to stick a tee in. Fairways needed some love (partly because they didn’t provide any sand/seed to plug up divots on the carts). Greens were in better shape but still had a few holes that were patchy and would affect your line. You get what you pay for. Good overall value, not great though. I’d come back to practice, not for a fun competitive round with the gang.

Pace of play is not worth your time. Ranger and clubhouse are useless. The Tee boxes are made out of dirt. Go to a driving range or pay for a nicer course. This is my 3rd time playing here this season. After ownership changed to Indigo Sports this place is for college kids to lose balls. Will never play here again. Thanks.

Very disappointed course was not in good condition over all and rangers didn’t keep the pace up with groups and kids holes playing multiple times
