Villa Olivia Country Club

Cart was awful, delay startup each time I wanted to take off. Course lacked some maintenance.

Villa Olivia GC was a pleasant round on a very hot day. There are ample trees near every tee box, to get out of the sun.It was low cost, mostly because some tees are well chewed up. But greens were in good shape and fairways were decent too. No range and no senior (gold) tees or hybrid white/red tees lowere the rating as well. Very friendly staff, pro-shop & starter, gave golfers a good feeling, getting ready for their round.Only pet peeve was, although the have 100,& 200 yard discs, those were not trimmed so they were very hard to see. Only the striped pole at 150 yard in, were easy to spot. Many folks have GPS on their watch or a Sky Caddie, but those "old school" yardage markers, if trimmed, would speed up play & add one more item to make club selection easier. Overall, it's pretty well done, and I'll be back.

Not Fond Of The Ski Hill Holes, Other Than That Everthing Was Fine

Course conditions are downright bad. Multiple tee boxes without GRASS and undistinguishable fairways throughout. Slow greens aren’t always a problem, but these are egregious. Layout is okay and gets more interesting on the back. Staff was very friendly.

Overall not the worst course ever, but anything over $30 is highway robbery (and they charge nearly $60!!!!).

As a Bartlett resident, I genuinely want to continue supporting Villa Olivia, but each visit leaves me more disappointed with the course conditions. The tee boxes, for example, are often more dirt than grass, which really detracts from the experience. To be fair, part of the issue seems to stem from the behavior of some players who don’t treat the course with the care it requires. Still, it’s disheartening to see the overall maintenance slipping.

I last played this course about 10 years ago when it was considered one of the nicer courses to choose from in the area. Now the tee boxes are uneven, the bunkers are basically dirt pits, and the course is simply in a state of disrepair, but they still charge a premium to play. Unfortunately I’d recommend to play just about anywhere else nearby for a better value. The staff are still very kind and helpful, but the lack of amenities is not their fault.

First, golf now ripped me off and charged me $10 just ti make the reservation. Something I could have done for free with a call to the course.

The tee boxes are so ripped up you are better getting off the tee boxes to find any grass.

Nothing about the course is in even ok shape.

I do not recommend playing here.
