Skylinks 👍

I played golf with family and had a good time. We started at the range for warm up and noticed the hitting bays had new mats and colorful pictures painted on them. Also , we received good service from the young man with good hair in pro shop👍

Fair play/Fair price

Not the fancy courses that many people like, (including myself), but a decent course to hit some balls, work on various aspects of your game & get a little exercise in the sunshine. Perfect place to hit the driving range & then slide right over for a quick 9 Holes to help transition your “practicing” into “practical” golf shots.

Quick, economic & no hassle.

Significantly improved

Played the course for the first time in a year or so. I've enjoyed the new and improved range area but haven't had a chance to get on the course. The course is in the best shape ever. The whole course is green again. The tee boxes were in great condition. New tee markers, trash cans, and other amenities like large benches. The fairways were green and we'll groomed. The fairways were dirty and rittled with gopher holes. The bunkers were filled with sand again. I they look and play great. Greens were in great condition and pin placement was challenging. I noticed many improvement projects in progress. The course is really coming together. I would definitely recommend.

Skylink/Buchanan Fields GC

Reserved via Golfnow. Played course around 10am to get exercise. Starter allowed me to join a twosome earlier than my tee time. Overall, course is short and is good for beginners. Grass pretty high on tee boxes, fairways. Greens very slow. Bunkers hard n need more sand, but playable. Because most players are beginner level, expect slow play. Took me 2 hours to complete this short par 31 course. This is an enjoyable course as long as you have the right expectations.

Oddly high number of stars

I had to go to concord and saw this course with a high rating. It is a pretty rough short course with grass in the bunkers and greens with dirt patches.

Nice 9-Hole Course

First time playing this nice 9-hole course. Was greatly impressed with the staff. Very nice young lady provided me with excellent service. Played as a single and met some friendly golfers. Overall experience was very good. The only suggestion would be to improve the tee boxes and sand areas.
