Tee boxes, fairways and sand traps need attention

This is a fun course to play with lots of hazards to keep you on your toes. The greens are in great shape. However, the tee boxes are in rough shape and the bunkers are like cement, luckily I was only in them twice. The pace of play was a little show at times because we had a FIVE-some in front of us. We finally called the pro shop at the 10th hole but nobody showed up until the 16th hole to break them up.

Haven't played Vineyard in 3 years.

Been a while. Took a friend and pleasantly surprised. Played whites and good challenge for senior golfers about 14 handicaps. Greens slow but rolled fine. Fairways need a little work but had been punched and looked like they were working on it. Bunkers need more sand. Tee boxes uneven and patchy. For $47 thru Golf Now a good deal. Back 9 very nice and great views. Pace of play fine. Will return more often.

Good Track to Play

Course is always fun! Tee boxes need some love but fairways and greens are in good shape for the most part! Views on the back 9 are always refreshing!

Decent course...except bunkers. A little ongoing/daily maintenance of such would help.

Pretty Course but not at its best

Greens were being plugged and sanded. This was not listed on Golf Now or on main website (only if you tried booking on their site). The course is very pretty and challenging, while not being overly long. Big pet peeve (and one that slowed play) - NO YARDAGE MARKERS ANYWHERE!!!! You'd expect cart yardage displays at a nice course like this - Nope. Markers on sprinklers or boxes - Nope. 100, 150, 200 markers - if there were any, not apparent. You just expect more from a nice course.

Would recommend other courses before this (maybe different if greens had been in better shape)

The Vineyards

Booked via GolfNow app.

Online rate was $48. Did not mention that greens had been punched & sanded.

However, upon arrival, pro shop staff gave us all a reduced rate ($36) They were very friendly and it was a good jester due to the conditions of the greens.

Pace of play was ok... 18 holes in 4 hours.

Also included a 15% discount in restaurant after our round

What a deal !!! We got the hotdog, chips & beer special.
