Settler's Hill Golf Course

Since Settler's Hill was closed for almost one and half years, I had high expectations. One of the things, I heard they were supposed to add was an irrigation system and a new clubhouse. Well, if they added a irrigation system, they are not using it. The tee boxes and fairways were like concrete. There was also many brown patches on the fairway. On a positive side, the greens were in decent shape. They also have realigned holes but haven't made changes for GPS systems such as USwing It to recognize holes, which made it challenging to get accurate distance. Finally, so far there is no new clubhouse. In fact, they haven't even broken ground yet. They had no halfway house to grab a hotdog or brat along the way. I've enjoyed playing this course in the past due to some unique holes but it may be a while before I return. The course needs improvements.

The new course layout is really nice. But the conditions of the course are rather ragged right now. They would have been better off waiting until the spring to open. They still have a new clubhouse and driving range to complete with a new practice putting green. Once it grows in I think it will be excellent

Range with no balls

No ranger

No beverage service

No water on course to drink

Greens were extremely slow, that being said everything else was surprising not too bad after all other reviews stating they reopened too soon. 1st time ever playing so don't have a comparison to the old course. But did play with some regulars who said they are 50/50 on the new holes. No range yet, they are building one and a new clubhouse. Give it a year and course should be great. I will be back

It has opened after major renovation to the greens and a few new holes. I was hoping for better on the redesign, as they replaced one of the most unique par 3's in the area with one of the most generic. Most of the greens had gotten far to steep with few pin placements and those issues have been fixed with the new greens being more playable and allowing for more pin placements. I will be back in 2024.

Course renovations are nearly complete. Greens and bunkers are much improved, along with the some new hole designs. Some rough patches in the fairways but generally good once these are addressed. Once the new clubhouse is built, the front 9 will now return to the new clubhouse. Junior 4 hole Course looks nice, and can't wait til they finally have a driving range. Glad to see it happening!

I love the course layout, but not in the conditions. I do understand it's a soft reopening, but no where did it tell me that. Greens very slow, grass around the greens we horrible. The new par 3s green are hard, you can hit the green and the ball will roll off the back into weeds.

Look forward to 2023 opening.

This is a review for 2022. Played this many of times before and would give it a 4 star. Not for 2022.

Great people and a wonderful layout. Just give it some time as it is under construction. Play it now, but just know it’s not 100%. But when it is it will be glorious!

They did a nice job redoing the course, the only thing I wish they would change are the golf carts, no windows to protect you from wind and rain or other golfers

Played here a lot over the years and really liked the new layout. The changes they made addressed many of the issues with the old layout. Yes it was probably opened before it was ready, the course needs to grow in a bit but the greens will improve over time. I think the Settlers Hill is going to be a very decent course.

New design of the old course is really good. Some of the insane hazards were removed and that will assist improving the quality of a round. However, the course is not ready for play. The greens and fairways too many spots that need to be repaired.

This course recently reopened, and it is not near ready. There is very little grass on the tees, in the fairways, or around the greens. The greens are beat up and roll very slowly, as they have a great deal of sand. Was excited to play this course for the first time and came away extremely disappointed. There is a lot of work to be done before I would return.

The only problem when you start on the 18th hole most GPS units . You have to advance to hole 2 for hole 1 etc.

I am a long time Settlers Hill player. It was one of my favorite courses to play. It had greens that rolled well and had character. It was kept up reasonably well and was a good value for the money. Unfortunately, none of this is true any longer. I was VERY disappointed with its current condition. Fairways were in poor shape with weeds and bare spots everywhere. The greens were VERY slow (with lack of grass in areas) and flattened out big time. If this isn't enough, they removed the iconic old #16 par three completely! What kind of a bozo architect does that??

I used to play this course 5/6 times a year, but sadly it looks like a one time a year at most now. Hopefully they will try to improve the greens and fairways and folks will just have to get used to the changes.

Bottom line is I would not recommend it to anyone in its current condition.

It’s a soft opening but this course is not ready for play. Start on 18? Greens are slower than putting on shag carpet. Needs some care, better signage and there is virtually no clubhouse. Carts without GPS.

The “new “ Settlers Hill is not much different than the old one. Par 3’s we’re different (except #3) and a few other tee boxes moved, but pretty much the same layout as before for the rest of the holes. Fairways were okay, but greens were super slow. Huge amount of crabgrass everywhere..
