Grumpy Starter

Grumpy starter for some reason. I don't get it, We are their customers and the gatekeeper here is always somewhat grouchy, I've played there at least 10 times and no matter who's the starter, I seem to get negative vibes. I don't mind it really since the contact is usually less than 20 seconds and then off to a great round of golf! The course is quirky at times, The first and the tenth and 18 are big downhill off the tee and big uphill second shots to blind greens. Good course for ball hunting...

Good Value!

Everything was great except the rough was way to long. Greens and fairways in great shape. Tee boxes not so much. Great value especially as a hot deal.

I played the red course on 1/1/17 greens were very slow but the price was right weather was good had fun the only problem was the golf carts were programmed to stay on cart paths only very very annoying made it inaccessible, need to change that!!!

Water logged

Course had standing water on numerous holes. Sand traps were pools of water. Rough was so high balls were lost just off the fairway. If staff informed us of the condition of the course I would have opted for a rain check.

Just OK

The course was just OK. I wouldn't pay the $51 bucks they normally charge but for $20 bucks that I paid, I would probably play it again.

Typical Municipal Course

Greens are quite slow but roll well. Several holes have blind shots to the greens. Good fairways, a few tee boxes are in need of work.

Nice day at The Wheel

It was a pleasant winter day with plenty of sunshine and very little wind. Upon arriving I was given a brand new electric cart that had never been used. They recently purchase a number of new carts. This was a pleasant surprise.
I would highly recommend this course during the winter months. The cost is very reasonable.

Beautiful day

The course is in excellent condition with the recent rains. Early fall, the trees are just starting to turn. I had to pause and take pictures. Attached. Fairchild Wheeler is our favorite course - a nice balance of interesting holes, friendly staff and a great value.

Good for the Price

I used GolfNow to get a great price - $30/each, including cart on a Sunday afternoon.

The course is in fair shape. The greens were spongy and slow. I'm guessing they hadn't been mowed because it was so hot and they didn't want to burn them up. And, they had the sprinklers running all afternoon - very distracting. Also, most of the greens are very small. On some of the longer holes (several par 4's over 400 yards), it's a real challenge to hit an approach onto the tiny greens. Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward. It's hard to lose a golf ball because it's pretty open and there are very few hazards (no water to speak of).

The staff is pleasant, especially the young man at the grill in the snack shack. There was no beverage cart.

We'll play it again because of the price and tee time availability. We also want to try the Black Course.

Great value for the money

FW - Red is a fun course over all. some holes are difficult with upward lies, others are short and prime for birdie ops if played correctly.

My first round of the 2015 season started here, some bunkers were flooded but it's understandable given it was beginning of April.

Definitely a course I will look forward to playing again.

We played on Saturday, and it was crowded. It took us over 5 hours to finish. The course is not in good shape either.

Sunday Round

Good course for your average weekend golfer. Area around greens are decent but fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape. If you get a good price and time round can be worth it but there are far better courses in the area.
