The St. Anne's Club

First time playing this course. We will definitely be back! Fairly priced and pace of play on an early Sunday morning was expected. The only thing that hurt the rating (5 out of 5) was the lack of a starter. This made for a very slow pace of play for the first couple of holes. The course kind of leveled it out by like Hole 4. Ample amounts of water, not just on the course, but water stations around the course. Not seeing that a lot these days.

recent verti-cutting left greens ultra fast and deceptively breaking. Really hard to stay straight w/out hitting the pattern.

New owners have done a great job of improving the course and conditions as well as the facilities. Layout is exceptional, albeit a bit challenging even from the white tees. Very friendly staff and a great experience overall.

The sceneary was nice at times, however the fairways and greens where harder than pavement. Grounds crew was out the entire round (started at 11:30) and easily mowed over four different balls from our round. There is no 9th hole/turn house. Was wide open pace of play yet still could here people yelling and hollering. If the greens and fairways (80% of them) were not rock solid the round would’ve been much better. If they are better during the the spring or summer I would recommend, however I would not be returning to play there again.

1) Friendly Clubhouse Staff however groundskeeper with tractor mounted blower basically followed us for 5-6 holes. He would shutdown the blower but kept the engine on the tractor running and talking loud on his cell phone. Very nerve racking since he would do this on every shot down the fairway. I guess most people wouldn’t let this bother them but the course was basically empty and he could have diverted to another hole or area.

2) Hole #14 could have the fairway a little bit longer to the rough. You can hit a very good drive and be penalized because of the downhill slope will run right into the rough.

3) Hole#16 is just disgusting. This definitely a tin cup hole where you look at the yardage on your second shot over the water and say I’m going for it. That hole is up 2 balls on me. I’ve hit 2 of my best fairway woods and either didn’t make it over or made it over just to have my ball disappear into the weeds, lol.

In closing; I absolutely love this course and so far the management has treated me with respect and kindness. I don’t mean to be a negative Nelly, I was just very annoyed with the tractor guy. This was only my 2 time playing there and I look forward to continue to play at St Anne’s.

Thank You

I’ve played this course plenty of times, and honestly I love it so when I seen it was on the HOT DEALS list I jumped on it. I arrived 30 minutes prior to my tee time, figured I would try to hit a few at the range first. When I arrived I noticed there was a tourney about to take place which seemed odd. I walked into the club house where I stood and waited 30 mins for someone to finally walk in. The gentleman finally came in- asked my name and the only thing he said was ‘I meant to email you to say that we couldn’t honor your tee time’. I get it, things happen, you get busy c caught up etc but the nonchalance in which he made his comment rubbed me wrong. As if my time was worth much. He didn’t offer my another day, different time slot, not a free range pass or anything. Just to call golf now and cancel and then he walked way. Now I understand that they have recently made changes to the ownership and this was my first time there since and if this is how they treat customers than it will be my last time there.

I was a single player and was content playing behind groups and playing two balls. The ranger / starter Andy asked me if I would like to skip the groups in front and come back, so I took advantage of it. Andy was around multiple times throughout the day checking in on each group and maintaining a 4 hour pace of play. Course is in great condition and I love the creativity that the tee shots and approach shots require. I have a new favorite golf course!

The young man in the pro shop could not have been any nicer! The fairways and greens were in excellent shape; however the tee boxes were weeds and the rough was unfair - long thick crabgrass and weeds. Did not care for all the blind shots - if you were not in the fairway, your ball was lost, even if it was only a few feet off. The moguls around every tee box were unnecessary - climb up the mogul and then down just to get to the tee box. Lots of long carries; no ratings on the card. Won't be back.

Greens very good tees are not great but you are using tees no problem the rest of the course is great.For 36.00 dollars you won't find another course for twice the money has good you won't be disappointed.

Course is still growing and the older it gets the better it will be. Super fast combined with some questionable pin placements You definitely have to play several time to learn where not to be on theses greens if you want to score well. Played with two single digit handicappers and they struggles on greens. Can’t imagine what a weekend warrior does on them. Might explain the slow play.

This course and staff is wonderful and a hidden gem. The only problem is a certain stubbornness too accommodate the players. I have played this recently about 20 times and recommended friends to come play. And I am over 70 and NEED at least a small bucket of balls to warm up. To date I have had use of the range 3 TIMES. There is always something that fouls up the range and its pitiful customer service. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

1st timer at the links & chose the hottest day of the year to play (95) w/ my son. Many elevated greens and lots of water hazards. Tees were a bit beat up but functional , some fairway burnout in spots but we just got thru July & August. Greens were fine , rolled well , and lots of hand watering was going on during our round but not affecting play. I’ll be back when it gets cooler out .

I can't complain about the course conditions as they have done a lot to enhance the loop. I played here a few weeks earlier and the challenge level was about right for intermediate golfers like me. And pin positions were pretty much the same both times, more by coincidence than design.

But this round the greens were WAY faster and impossible to gauge. Combined with pin placements (on a Sunday no less!) on steep slopes or often just a couple paces from the very back or front of the green, made approach shots and even little chips to the green virtually impossible to control. And putting was a nightmare; impossible to stop a downhill putt or gauge it correctly for speed (except by accident) and uphillers so much different that those were hopeless as well. I gave up on worrying about score and just concentrated on ball striking.

What makes this even more of an issue is that the practice green, while equally fast, is not nearly as sloped as the course's greens, so that was no help at all to get ready for what you had to face on practically every hole.

A little suggestion to the course: If you insist on fast greens, place pins in fair positions and not on steep slopes. We ain't looking to play Augusta National on a casual Sunday.

I played here because I drive by it a lot, and like to play a variety. I wouldn’t have played this based on the reviews, but I’d have to say it’s far better than what they say. Staff was friendly, and the course is challenging. There were only 2 small issues on the greens, that’s why I rated it 4 stars. If you’ve never played here because of the reviews, give them a chance. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
