Mallard Golf Club

Second time playing this course. Thoroughly enjoy the layout and style of this course. However, when booking the tee time, I asked the attendant about course conditions because getting there required a long drive. The response I got was that they were fine. Upon arriving, we went to the practice putting green and discovered somewhere between a third and half of it was barren and sanded. Hoping the greens on the course were not in the same condition, we soon discovered that most of them were like the practice putting green, though to varying degrees from slight to on the heavy moderate side. In short, putting was definitely adversely affected. I’m no horticulturist or course superintendent but it looked like they were losing the greens. I only hope that they can take some of the millions they’re spending on the new clubhouse and put it into greens recovery and restoration. This course is to nice and enjoyable to let fall into this state. Hopefully plans are in the works to correct this issue. Interestingly, it did not appear to be affecting the amount of play in the late morning and afternoon. It was crowded.

Beautiful layout with a great challenge. Not an Easy course.

1. Need to improve certain players course manners. Players in front of us were obviously very drunk, very loud and slow, so we skipped a hole and went ahead of them. They were having a good time, but driving the carts into each other and where they shouldn't have been. In addition, the people behind us drove the ball off the tee into our group twice, rolling the ball to our feet while we were still in the landing area. Very few players make an effort to repair divots anywhere on the greens, tees or fairways. Without some education, the course will deteriorate quickly.

2. For a new course, not bad condition. But, the greens are extremely hard, fast and dry, but somewhat true rolling. Looks like there isn't enough grass on them, needs to be cut longer. They definitely need more water, aeration or a different soil mix.

Greens are fast and complex. Fairways actually have good roll out. Lynx style course will definitely test you. One of my favorite things about this course is the drainage after a rain this course is the first to dry in the area for sure.

All the staff was amazing. The starter also gave us a run down of the course that really helped our group. Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!!

The Course is Nice. I Love a Links course but it is still new. The greens are very hard. You can’t stop the ball, even with a flop shot. But that’s ok. I can manage. I’ll definitely play here again, soon. The GPS on the carts is a life saver. Very precious.

great links style track - friendly at check in - clubhouse facilities still under construction - cart service on the course - had a blast!

First time playing this course...

The course has been open for about seven months. The greens need to mature a little but they still have decent pace and roll pretty true. They are still pretty firm - it's new tifeagle and they will soften as they mature. Fairwarys are coming in well. Not a lot of rough but it's bermuda in November.

So course conditions were pretty good. Maybe not great but for being less than a year old, they are doing a great job with the course and it is only going to get better.

As for the layout, it is a traditional links style course with very, very few trees. Hazards and brush waste area (much of which had recently been cut down) frame the holes well. It's a challenging course, especially given there is nothing to block the wind. .

Green fees before noon on a Sunday were $42. I would say for this area that's an exceptional value.

The staff was great!

I recommend the course and look forward to playing it again.

This is by far the best course I’ve played in years. I will be coming back for sure and I can’t wait until the pro shop is completed.

It was a great day for golf. But it was almost ruined by the slow play largely created by a foursome, 2 groups ahead. To make it worse it was a warm day and we SAW the cart girls but they STAYED and fraternized with this slow playing group the ENTIRE back 9 leaving all the piled up groups behind them parched.

The greens are just to hard and to fast. Need to be softened up a little bit. Other than that, great course!

Good course and great value. The new clubhouse is coming along so it won’t be too long before it’s finished. They have to continue to work on pace of play. There’s so many beginners and uneducated golfers playing the course that marshals will need to help move along.

Pace of play (expected for holiday) was slow but nice course. Course designed as a marshy links course. Minimal forced carries. Wind direction can be a big factor.

It’s a fairly new course, still building the club house. Once the club house is complete and it gets more established through out the community and surrounding area it’s going to be a great and challenging course.

Lots of guys out there in T shirts and/ or jeans must not be a dress code very slow playing course in great shape no shelter from rain or bad weather
