Farmingbury Hills Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

Fun course. Great for the price. Can’t wait to go back.

Gave this course a one star review based on an experience we had with one of the owners (specifically David). We booked 18 holes for the day with four players and two carts. We played through our first 9 and as we got back to the first hole to play through for our second 9 we noticed a big crowd waiting to tee off. One gentleman stated they were in a tournament waiting for carts to come back. We approached the tee time attendant to notify him that we were ready to go through to the “back 9” yet he said we would have to wait because there is a tournament starting and we “were late for our back 9 tee time”. To our surprise we had no idea there was even a tournament that day let alone that we had to be on the first tee box for our second round at a specific time. That was ridiculous and never have I heard such a thing. Again it didn’t state those specific directions or times in the confirmation email we received. In addition, it didn’t state it on their social media nor were we told about this event when we got there from the beginning. One of the tournament players was so nice and suggested we play before them. As one of our members approached the tee box, this random man (not knowing he was part owner) rushed up to us, whistled at us and snapped his fingers toward us, starting “are you the players trying to play through? Nope. Not happening. Get off the box and come to me.” The way he approached us was rude, unprofessional, and embarrassing due to the fact he didn’t introduce himself, he was abrupt with his actions and overall very arrogant about the issue. Even some Tournament players waiting said he was rude and didn’t handle that properly. While talking and dealing with David in the shop, I asked him why weren’t those times blocked off on the reservation site then and if he posted the tournament details on social media. He stated yes it was posted everywhere yet I looked back and he definitely lied. He stated we needed to have played the first 9 holes in at least two hours to make the tee time for the second round of 9. We are beginner/intermediate players who took our time, enjoyed the game, and went along the pace of everyone else who was out there that day I told him. Again we were annoyed. We requested a refund yet he declined that and stated we would get a rain check instead. We were astonished because yet again it didn’t state anywhere in their office they do not give refunds. Why would we want to come back after this experience anyways. It was not welcoming at all! David could have easily gave a refund and approached us in a nicer manner to avoid this headache of a conflict.

Very nice course with interesting holes and some great views

I really enjoy playing here. It’s 10 minutes from my home and a great price . Recorded a 98 here on this day, tied my career record for 18 holes. Great place to play and challenging.

Interesting course they put together here. It's fun overall and makes great use of the total real estate. I like how several holes can be played two different ways, even though it's technically a 9 hole course.

Pace can get very bad. Most times I play here you've got to wait for the person in front of you to tee off.

Good players will find this course easy I think. I'm not a good player so it's challenging enough for me.

Overall, it's fun but you're going to find that most other courses are simply nicer and more inspiring. This is good for what it is, a quick local 9 hole joint, but it's really nothing too special.

While I love the location, views, and in general fun course that this is… Farmingbury has a booking / reservation problem. We had to play a 3 hour 9 hole round; booked for 18. We made the turn and immediately were sitting 2 foursomes deep at 1/10 and then get to 11 and are 3 foursomes deep. We then decided to ditch it as we didn’t need a 4 hour 9 hole round on top of the earlier round. We went back to let them know about the back-up and just found the cashier rude. You would think that with the family type atmosphere customer service would be norm and not the exception. Too bad.

Great short course. Pace of play wasn't worth the money.
