Trying

Better than the last time I was out there. Tee box phenomenal shape. Fairways eh. Greens. Not bad if you don’t mind moving the ball to avoid they’re repairing the turf. Never waited once on anyone which was the highlight of the day. Overall over priced for what you get. If the price was $40 no problem but at $60 doesn’t feel worth it.

Muni Gold

The greens aren’t perfect, but they’re coming in well! They’ve done a lot of work to improve from the previous season. Course is a great Muni, great value and a Donald Ross design.

Getting better

It’s getting better. It’s inconsistent but it’s actually playable again. Hopefully the work on the greens continues and we see Bacon park get back to its glory! Keep up the good work.

Improving Conditions

I have watched Bacon Park deteriorate over the last seven years. However, the last two times I have played there I've seen significant improvements. The tees and fairways are in good shape. It was always the greens that were horrid. But, it is obvious, that some money and expertise are now part of the plan. The greens have been vastly improved. And the ones that are still poor are being attended to. Props to the course superintendent and the man or woman supplying the funds.

Nice older course

This is a fun course with very dry fairways and fast greens. A number of the greens are in need of repair but overall the course was in good shape. The staff was very friendly and it is a great value..

Convenient location.Pro shop ok.Staff pleasant. Driving range fine. Add a couple of benches please.Chipping green is good. BUT Only 2 greens out of the front 9 were in playable condition. Restroom on course was foul.Would prefer better greens instead of newer golf carts.

Terrible greens.

They have very nice new golf carts and the fairways are in decent shape but the greens with make you regret paying more than ten dollars to play there. There were a couple greens that had sand buckets in the middle of them. I think this course must be a tax right of for someone.

Course was not bad. There were a couple greens with damage in local areas. It is early in the season and the conditions were okay. It was a nice day.

Poorly Run Business - Horrible Greens

Bacon Park has hit a new low. The greens are unplayable, patchy, bumpy, and have craters filled with sand on most greens. Management is just as bad; the lady at the front desk is disorganized to the point of disabling our cart mid round due to her own clerical error. Rough course, front desk has anger issues. This course should be avoided or used as a last resort.

Don’t waste your money

I don’t know who in the world is leaving for our five stars in this golf course they need to remove the advertisement as it being a Donald Ross design. I’m still in shock. I spent $60 a person to play here today. Worst conditions ever most greens were diseased and full of craters I mean, I really like to meet the people that are leaving these reviews. Do not waste your time or money.

Getting better

This course has been in poor shape for so long. I always stayed away after playing it a few times. However, over the past many months the conditions are gradually improving. Tees are in decent shape, fairways have grass and, finally, the greens are acceptable. Keep up the good work.

Looks can be deceiving

Always pass by this course during my deliveries during the week. Course looks great from afar, but sadly, this course is far from good. Booked tee time online. Got an email this morning stating the course would be walk only due to the weather. Ok. Pulled in to parking lot. Met by the grounds keepers, a herd of goats. No, seriously, a herd of goats. Course only had one pull cart, so we decided to huff it carrying our bags. Course plays fair. Nothing out of the ordinary. Greens were very good, but some of the hole locations were questionable. This course will definitely be a one and done for me. Just not what I expected.
