Settler's Hill Golf Course

This course is in horrible condition. The ground was rock hard. I repeatedly had trouble putting my tee in the ground, and the fairways and greens weren't any better. The greens were super patchy, and there were divots everywhere. They didn't even have any sand in the cart to fill them. There were also small rocks in areas without grass not that far off the fairway. I'm not one to usually complain about the condition, but this place was awful. The layout wasn't too bad and the staff was friendly. The main problem I had with the conditions being this bad was that I payed $65 for it. If it was a lot cheaper, I would understand, but there are courses with similar price points not too far away from this one with much better conditions.

This course has very make-able par 3s....but has some really long, difficult holes. If you score bogey on 10 and 11....consider it a well played hole. Greens....for the most part were in excellent condition. The fairways are going to need some TLC in the off season.

Beat up course for it being closed all last year for improvements.

Have not had a chance to play this course in a couple of years as they were closed for renovations. I do like they added a driving range as I was needed. I wish I had taken a picture of the greens as they were horrible. They were covered in what looked like divots that had never been repaired for years. The greens will need to be completely renovated. Tee boxes were so hard you could barely get a tee in and just tore up with divots. Should never opened this year till they had gotten most everything fixed as I have never seen a course in this bad a shape. I rarely write reviews but really felt this one was needed as I would hate for other people to spend money to have the same experience.

The course recently underwent a "refresh" I will call it. Most of the holes stayed the same. There were a few changes, and some worked and some didn't. If you are familiar with the original layout, old #1 is now 18 so once you check in plan on a long ride back through the parking lot down a gravel (dusty) access road back to the old #2 now the new #1. They do have a small driving range along the access road (not that you would know it since no signs or mention while checking in) I should have known it was going to be a slow round when the group in front of us waited for the entire hole to be open prior to hitting 3 of 4 tee shots into the weeds. I say weeds because weeds were everywhere. Through my round I had art least 4 times my ball was in a patch of weeds while in the fairway. I broke two wooden tees trying to get them in the hard ground. All and I mean ALL of the tee boxes were more divot than grass. The greens were not aerated but aeration would have been an upgrade. I don't think I have ever repaired more ball marks on a green in my life just to have a halfway decent surface to put on. I saw only one ranger all day and I mean all day 5 1/4 hrs. That guy just drove by and waved, never checked with us about our round. The one saving grace was the beer cart came by several times.

In summary bad conditions coupled with super slow play make for a horrible golf day. This was the worst golf experience of the season...

For context I am 53 yrs old 12 index play white (mens) tee and play 3 to 4 times a week.

Played this course before it was reconfigured and after. Not a high fan of the changes.

My biggest disappointment is with the overal condition of the course. Fairways were in rough safe along with tee boxes and greens. I will say the San traps were well maintes and certainly fair. Your personal GPS devices won’t work with the changes made on the back nine and the carts do not have GPS. Paid $42 on Golf now and really think for the condition of the course that is too much. Course has decent bones and pretty good layout just needs to TLC.

I use to enjoy this course but got rid of 16. The tee boxes are in bad shape, weeds in fairways and fringe. I was hoping that the renovation of the course would improve the conditions of course it got worst.

Tee boxes were so hard that you needed a hammer to put a tee in. The whole course extremely hard (it was like hitting off a mat) and was badly in need of water - made the distance on my drives look great, but the inconsistency was a killer. Greens were awful - thin, dead and bumpy. Sand traps were nice and fluffy. Unless they are planning on building a new clubhouse, the 1st and 18th hole placements make no sense. Definitely will not be back this year - maybe by 2024 it will have improved.
