Settler's Hill Golf Course

Although the weather was cold, wet, and windy for a August day we enjoyed the day. Course is good mix of holes with some more challenging then others not long. No real trouble to get into. Greens were in very nice shape very soft and held well. Patrons didn't fix ball marks as well as they could have. Amenities were pretty few. Beverage cart was around several times, but selection very limited. Inside very limited food and beverages.

Pace of play was good, but ranger talked to us about catching up because we were 1/2 hole behind??? No one was waiting behind us and we were on pace. Did pick it up and then we had to wait???

All in all an OK experience. Good value for price paid. Would probably play again at the price.

Fun course. With a larger budget, this course could be pretty sweet. Fairways decent but tons of crabgrass and weeds in the rough. Bring your scope. No GPS in carts and limited yardage markers make some holes extra difficult when they do not need to be. No halfway house or water on course so plan accordingly. No driving range and pretty useless putting green. Course does have some of the more fun par 3's in the burbs with great elevation. Views on course are terrific and weekend rate was fare. Wished greens would have run a bit more true. Enjoyable course as long as you know course condition going in.

It was over 6 years in between rounds so it was good to see the course mature. The track is challenging 50% and fairly easy 50%. 11th hole is crazy hard requiring 3 perfect shots to be on in regulation.

I enjoyed the course and would play it again

Interesting course with lots of character holes. Highly recommend. No range and you do not pass the club house at the turn. Normally excellent condition.

A nice place to play anytime

Very nicely kept and the greens were rolling nicely

As a beginner I found this to be a somewhat challenging course, lost a few balls in the tall grass. But it was a surprising enjoyable course with changes in elevation. Looking forward to coming back, the reasonably low prices makes it a big plus on my list of courses.

Settler's is a really nice track if you are a decent player. It was in decent shape....greens were okay and rolling acceptably. Sand traps were fairly maintained except for idiots that refuse to rake them properly. A lot of less accomplished players book at this course and there's plenty of trouble - water, gorse, forced carries and pace killing holes. 3 of the four of the par 5's on this course are way too much challenge for high handicappers and result in a 20 minute plus playing time on each of them. The par 5 11th hole is one of the most penal and poorly designed holes tight tree lined featuring a sloped all of 15 wide yard fairway in some places and you always have a significantly long uphill approach shot (usually from a bad downhill lie) to a severely sloping green surrounded by traps. Do yourself a favor on your approach shot on this hole....just aim left of the green - avoid the traps in front and just let the terrain roll the ball down on the green. You almost can't hit your approach shot too far left on this hole!! Took us 25 minutes plus to play the 11th waiting/waiting/waiting.

No warm up range and my real pet peeve is the almost worthless practice green that's so sloped it screws people up because most of the greens aren't even close to that amount of undulation and it's difficult to get a feel for putts longer than 15 or 20 feet. Greens are easily readable but there are significant breaks if you're in the wrong position. No water on the course and provision up (ask if there is a beverage cart) because the course doesn't return to the clubhouse until after the 13th hole. Beverage prices are a tad steep as well. 3.5 stars plus (the course is really fun to play with good shot values - $30/$35 value) and recommend only if you can play here with a light tee sheet and hope you don't have groups spraying balls everywhere in front of you. Otherwise count on a 5 hour plus round.

Interesting layout, with some great elevated views. Tough slopes on many greens, which can bring 3 putts into the picture. Number 11 requires 3 perfect shots, and even then you need to negotiate the severity of the green.

The previous reviews are correct about the availability of drinking water; you need to bring your own. During our round however, the beverage cart service made frequent visits.

Decent pace of play for a Friday afternoon at 4 hours 20 min, and a friendly starter on number one. Course in good shape.

There was no drinking water anywhere on the course. I used water from the creek to wet my towel to clean my clubs. There is only 1 restroom on the course and that was at hole number 6/8. Course is poorly laid out as the club house is no where near the turn or anywhere close to a hole to make a stop for the restroom or amenities.

I have been playin this course since it first opened and everytime I play it I remember the first time and think back to how much I loved the layout. Back when it first opened it was still very raw and not fully developed, now it is and I love it even more. I wish I didn't live so far away from Settler's or else I'd play it more often! There are some really nicely designed holes with a mix of easier holes and some really difficult ones. Hole 11 from the tips is one of my favorite holes (even not from the tips). Recommended!!!

Course is falling apart. Cart paths were bumpy. hundreds of ball marks on each green not repaired. Very few or poorly seen yardage markers. No GPS. No water coolers anywhere to drink from.

The course is on an old landfill with numerous up/down hill fairways and greens. Both fairways and greens are in good condition. While hilly, flags were visible during play. Due to prior heavy rain 2 holes were very spongy and carts had to remain on cart path.

Course in good shape for this time of the year. Greens in the best shape of all courses played this year.

Course was overbooked, was only able to get 13 holes in, in 4 hours. Don't plan on playing here again.
