Great course, played terrible
The course is in outstanding shape, the greens very fast and I played the worst round in 3 years. But I am going next week and expect to shave 10 strokes off my round.
Winter
Played bear creek sun not even comparable Spencer is in great shape for winter They're going through rehab inside I'm sure it will be great by spring
Nice break in the cold
Course was in good shape, for the middle of January. Great day and fun was had by all.
Great design and well groomed
I've heard about this course for a decade or more but have not played there until this week. What a gem! Well worth the 35 mile drive!
Great Course
I played my round in 20+ mph winds and it was cold, but it was still worth the price we paid to play this course. Spencer T. Olin is one of my favorite courses in the area and has some tricky holes while not being impossibly difficult. The staff was very friendly and tried to accommodate us in every way. Sometimes you deal with slow players in front of you and that's what happened to us. I can't fault the course or the staff for that. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a bit of a challenge on a well manicured course.
fun layout
Great greens. Layout makes you use all the clubs in your bag.
Spencer T worth the drive, beautiful landscape
Nice, very fast and challenging greens that many seem to have substantial breaks, keeps your scores in check but kind of fun. Many sand traps but all in pretty good shape. Kind of disappointed in golfers that didn't repair ball divots all over the place. Fairway grass is good and most shots very playable.
Hard to lose balls as mostly wide open and nicely spaced trees. Will play again, used the Golf Now online special for a great fee of $26 per man.
spencer t Olin
Grate course. Good condition. Could use more water jugs.
Not impressed
The greens were awful. The Marshals wouldn't speed anything up. Course was really nice a year ago and they just let it go.
Park setting
I loved this course, felt like I was in a park. No two holes were the same, which made it fun and interesting to play. Greens were in great shape, fairways were good--needed some weeding. The staff was friendly and welcoming. If you play after 2pm you can keep playing, I couldn't get enough.
Well designed. Mixture of doglegs, water and trees. Difficult but fair
Great course. Greens a little rough because of pitch marks
Shape of course
Greens excellent shape and rolled good, fairways being reseeded on about 6 of them.
IN Outstanding condition
Great course, excellent condition, rate of play very good. Tough but fair.
Rained out
Only got to play 14 holes before the storms rolled in
Good layout!
Had to deal with rain delay 1 1/2 hours. Course in good shape,other than ball marks golfers need to a better job of fixing.
Spencer
Course was great. It was a great value and worked out really well. We came in w/ 3 and paired up w/ someone else using Golf Now and he was great. Plus, he really helped us w/ course.
Challenging course in excellent condition
Challenging course in excellent condition. Greens receptive with nice contour for putts with break.
