Small but mighty

Course has improved with new ownership. Great amenities for families like a jump house and a stage for music near snack shop and driving range. Good course for beginners to learn or someone who wants to play in under 2 hours in the middle of the day.

They have to redo all the greens they're not in great condition

If they redo the greens it will be a much better course

Surprisingly good

First time playing at Buchanan Fields in 7 years. Hot Deal time with promo got me a mid morning tee time for 2 dollars.

After recent surgery I wanted to play somewhere where driver isn't needed and course difficulty wasn't too much. Played with 3 other golfers who were fantastic and courteous. The facility is clean, fun and staff is excellent. Got thru 9 holes in 1 hour 45 mins.

Feel good course

Convenience, accessible tee times, great value, solid practice facilities, pro shop offerings. New ownership has transformed that GC to the good. Music, chill area, kids bouncers. Definitely on the right track.

Much improved

I was pleasantly surprised even astonished at the improvements in the course from a few weeks ago. It also looks like there will be two new tees on two of the par 3s that will add real challenge.

Extremely slow pace and just a bad course in all aspects

Number one reason for the bad review is the extreme slow pace of play…especially because there was no one (Marshall) out there to help…..not even a starter to send people off.

Two folks that had an 11:30T-time didn’t get started till 11:55, for no good reason. They were complete hackers taking more than 10 shots to get on the green on a par 4, and would take forever on each shot. Nobody there to ask them to pick up their ball or the pace. We waited 20 minutes or more on each hole, until after the 5th hole that we just left…so frustrated that I didn’t even bother to ask for a refund or replay.

If it’s your first time ever playing and you have never hit a ball on the range…then maybe this is the place for you….else avoid it at all costs.

It’s also a bad layout, small greens, short holes, terribly kept and maintained.

Skylinks

Fairways were “fair” The greens were ok. There was debris that actually diverted a couple of putts on one hole. Thought it was a good value.
