Settler's Hill Golf Course

Had to bail out after 14 holes due to lightning in the area. All in all, the recent reviews are correct about the state of conditioning being spotty, especially the greens. Yet this is an interesting layout with challenging green undulations and some tricky par 5's. Should be a 4 star course but current conditioning held it back.

Played the day after a very heavy storm had hit the area, so the fairways were holding a lot of water, which meant carts only on the path. Played the course from the blue tees and given the humid conditions and wet fairways it played all its length and then some. What I particularly like about this course are the variations of holes and the elevation changes which makes for a very enjoyable round. One particular feature of this course are the par 5's, all of which are very challenging off the blue tees.

Love the idea of taking a garbage dump and making a beautiful golf course. Love the Par 3’s. Very friendly workers.

Worst greens I have played all year. Bumpy, slow and no pace whatsoever. Pace of play was bad as usual. Don't spend your money here.

Course needs some updating. The course is tired and I need some TLC. You can hurt your back on the golf cart paths

I am played this course many times and was disappointed with the condition of the course. The bunkers were in very poor condition in the greens are very bumpy. It was a good value for the price but I like the layout but the course needs work .

Greens were bumpy and it looked like the had not changed the hole location for a couple of days. They were beat up around the holes. They have made some improvements with taking out some trees but overall was very disappointing

I play settlers every year, usually a couple of times. I grew up playing this course. Unfortunately, it’s in some of the worst shape I’ve seen it in years. Many of the fairways have large dead patches, the tee boxes are chewed up with divits, and even a few of the greens are beat up. One or two of the greens have large, brown dead patches of grass on them. Often, if you hit a fairway, you will end up on hay (they are trying to regrow grass in some spots) or just mud. I love the layout of the course and love how challlenging the back nine is, but it really was a disappointment to see how bad of shape the course is in. Still might play for under $30, but any more than that and I would be upset is spent the money.

This course is adjacent to a landfill so I did not have high expectations . Have played 3 times in the past 6 weeks. A wonderful track. Many holes have significant elevation changes. Course and greens are top notch. Staff is friendly. One negative is no GPS on the carts but I use my own range finder . Not crowded and pace of play is 4 hours or less . Front 9 is fairly straightforward. Back 9 is a real challenge with a couple of really tough holes.

Highly recommended and added to my favorite courses. BTW I am retired and play once a week with a 15 handicap

I had not played this course in a few years so wanted to give it another try. I had a great time on a windy but nice summer day. The course was in good shape and the staff was very friendly. There were a few slow groups ahead of me so the starter let me skip a few holes to get ahead of them and I was allowed to play the holes I skipped at the end of my round. Much appreciated! I would recommend the course to anyone looking for a fun and challenging layout!

Really want to like this course more than I did today but there were some basics that just made it not great. The greens and fairways are all in great shape. Tee boxes are well maintained as well. The challenges: 1st, while I like the “Links” Style, there is some much needed trimming near the tee boxes that would allow you to actually see what you’re hitting at. (#4 Blue tees, #16 blue tees as examples) I hit down on the group in front of us at least once because their carts were obscured from view from the tee box on a par 3. Secondly, it’s a course with minimal shade on the front and portions of the back. There are no water coolers on the course anywhere. With a heat index of 103, just a few water coolers and cups would have gone a long way to make the round more enjoyable rather than having to hope the cart girl would cruise by and I’d have to buy water.

This course has always offered a challenge with nice tee options and generally, overall good conditions tee to green. (Prior to Golf Visions management)

Much like other Golf Visions managed courses, conditions have turned to far below "good".

One player with us lost a ball off of the first tee in piles of grass clippings, just off of the fairway.

The greens are horribly slow, inconsistent and many require repairs. While a course cannot oversee all players; given the recent weather we have had, even a low quality superintendent and crew with daily course maintanence should provide much better conditions.

My back yard is in better shape than these greens!

Just like at other GV courses, the greens are terrible and can help to spoil a good round.

Waste of time and money!

See my review dated 7/16/17 for tips and other comments. Course was a tad wet this day but in really decent shape given all of the recent rains. Sick and tired of Settler's lack of amenities - GET SOME WATER JUGS OUT ON THE COURSE!! CLEAN YOUR CARTS! Redo the practice putting green so it's more representative of the other greens and at least have some nets do you can take a few warm up swings. Routing doesn't come back to the clubhouse until after 13 and even then that's not convenient. Having to depend on the nurse service for water or really overpriced beverages is hit and miss. Pace of play can be hit and miss too. Today thank god was 4.5 hours....usually 5.5 hours with play slowing to a crawl on the back nine. Broke 80 but my day was ruined by a stupid ranger who decided he wanted to watch my approach shot on the 12th hole directly in my line of sight behind the green. We were well on pace. I tried to wave him off or at least get him to move out my line. Then when I addressed the ball he then slightly moved his cart. I backed off tried to wave him off again addressed my ball and guess what he slightly moved again right as I was about to hit. Thanks ranger rick. I had to back off again. My playing partners actually yelled at him when he drove off. What an idiot.

I like the track overall but having to deal with idiots who work at the place means I won't be back this season. Recommended only because the routing and generally decent conditions make up for significant issues. $30 value. Play when the tee sheet is light.

They had the dirtiest carts I ever rode in. 12 carts at the curb and all were disgusting. There was no water anywhere on the course and only one washroom.
