Rough Too Long

Can’t find my golf balls. The rough needs to be cut. Also, the scorecard does not list the back nine subtotal. The first nine is listed as 35.

Golf 101

We played on a Saturday and the pace was slow. Me and my son in law were playing and we were paired with two guys who were new to golf. Now I don’t mind playing with somebody starting out, we were all there. So me and my son were playing ready golf! We got to the ninth and putted out while the rest of the foursome looked for lost balls!!Then the GM of the course starts yelling at me and my son because we finished and we’re waiting for our group to finish our hole. He said that that wasn’t golf 101 ! The two guys who were new to golf left because they thought they got us in trouble! This just put are real damper on the back nine! Don’t think I’ll be back at least not on a Saturday

Good condition

Played with sons, hadn’t played here in 20+ years. Good shape, big greens, nice tee boxes. Does not get overplayed like Rock Manor. Just too far from me in Talleyville. Given traffic. Minimal tree or water hazards. Not very memorable layout but it’s an ok spot for getting out and practicing your game.

Pretty Good overall

The course is pretty nice, but the rough is very thick. It’s easy to lose balls in and hard to hit out of. Otherwise, the course was decent. I like the neighborhood-style layout with the nice, open holes and not too many obstacles. The price was steep for what you get unless you get it for a Hot Deal.

Windy weather

Challenging layout with fast greens and lots of bunkers.

Very windy day but it's Delaware. Course layout was tough and greens were pretty fast. The foursome in front of us was very slow so the round was almost 5 hours.

Dandelions Everywhere

Nice course. Greens running fast. Good layout. The condition needs to improve. On most holes, the rough is covered in dandelions. When you are looking for a white ball in the rough, it was nearly impossible to find with them. So I guess just don’t hit it in the rough? Pace of play was slow. Very backed up. It was a 5 hour round for my group. I think they need to improve a few things to continue charging the price that they are. But it’s worth playing for a deal.

Too many missing amenities

Only one water supply on the course and the water tasted awful. The cart paths need major work. not sufficient signage to know where to go on the chorus . No one to greet you at the bagdrop. Half a sand traps were in terrible condition
