Fun Course to play!

I have been out of golf awhile, due to injury, and just getting back in. Farmingbury was a great course for my first 9 back on the course. It has some challenging holes, but still fun. The grounds were well kept, value was good $38 with a cart. And, there restaurant has great food and drinks. Will certainly be playing here more.

A Good Nine-Hole Test

Having played Farmingbury Hills now around a dozen times, I can say that the course holds up well. All of these nine holes are good ones, and the unusual feature of alternate greens or teeing areas on five, seven, eight and nine–which create what seem like quite different holes—is a nice bonus. Because this is an old course, it’s somewhat short, but there are still two longish four-pars at two and seven; the same goes for the pair of par-threes. But my farorite hole on the course is probably nine, when played as a par-five, largely due to a second shot that requires careful placement, then the approach into a well-elevated, nicely countoured green. The whole is not a formidable test, to be sure, but still a good one.

Conditioning did not live up to the quality of this layout today, as the bunkers are washed out and the tees in need of more grass. The roughs are very dense after the rains and need mowing. Fairways are average overall as a few are patchy. The greens are good if a little long.

Pace was also slow today.

Nonetheless, this layout has become a go-to nine for me, and I plan to play it several times more every summer in the future. Definitely recommended, as it’s usually in better condition.

Totally overbooked

They were out of golf carts, so you had to wait for someone to come off the course to get a cart. Most people missed their tee time waiting for a cart. Some holes were backed up with 3 foursomes. Seemed like no management or care for customer satisfaction. Avoid this place.

Extremely slow play!

No Ranger to monitor pace of play. Golfers take advantage of this. Play agonizing slow, I have observed for two weeks golfers in threesomes and foursomes playing two balls each. No consideration for groups behind them. Just plain rude.

Disrespectful owner.

One of the owners of the course was yelling and being very disrespectful to someone who just finished paying to play the course. My ball landed on the hole they were playing so I ask if I can take my shot and he begun to yell at me to pick up my ball and get out of here and that he wasn’t going to tell me twice , mind you they didn’t even tee off yet.
