The Orchards Golf Club in Belleville offers an 18-hole championship course designed by Belleville native and former Masters winner Bob Goalby. With four sets of tees, the course appeals to a wide range of skill levels. The layout starts out with a gentler front nine where you won’t find any doglegs on the first six holes but as you move towards the back nine, the course gets more challenging. The golf course has an interesting and diverse mix of holes, with the seventh through the 14th being a particularly notable stretch. You’ll have to contend with abundant out-of-bounds and both water and sand come into play often. In addition to the golf course, the Orchards G.C. boasts a multi-level driving range as well as a large practice putting green with a sand bunker.

Good course

Recently played this course and was a wonderful course but only got to play the back nine due to the front nine being closed for aeration. The back nine was great but not being able to play the back nine was disappointing and a little disappointing that there was no warning on the golf now website that the aeration was occurring.

Course was booked

Golf Now had the course open. Course had a tourney going on during my tee time so I could not play. I don't understand how this happens.

Not on the same page

Well, I get a call less than 24 hrs before my tee time telling me that the course is closed due to a tournament. Golf Now and the course are not on the same page. I have no idea how this happens. Now I have to deal with getting a refund from Golf Now which can be troublesome. The course just wanted me to call and reschedule for another day. That is not how it works with golfers trying to play on the actual day they booked! CJ Cruser

Poor Playing Experience

If you are person of color. Please do not waste your money or time. While the Golf supervisor did contact me after I complained of issues of being mistreated by staff and other customers, the conversation lent itself to blaming me for what happened on several occasions. I’m never going there again. What’s more concerning is the manager’s abruptness to blow off my concerns to make me feel as I’m the villain. There are far more golf courses in the area that I can spend my money at!!!

Orchards Octobet

Nice course layout. Course in great shape.

A nice variety - some doglegs, some water , some elevated greens with traps but nothing too daunting.

Only negative was the greens were a little slow.

Staff was friendly. Great autumn golf outing.

Good course

First time at this course and we really enjoyed it. Tee boxes and fairways were all in good shape. A few of the greens had some rough patches though.

Liked the course payout. Will definitely come back.

Orchards review

Course is a nice layout. But the ridiculous no driving carts on the rough is annoying. I would venture to say 9/10 players will be in the rough at some point during a round and it can take a while to find balls walking the rough. Slows the pace of play way down and ends up costing me money because I don’t look very long trying to be considerate of groups behind me. Absolutely dumbest rule I’ve ever seen on a golf course!! Brings my rating way down.

It May Be A Great Value, but...

Some of the greens, such as 9, 14, and especially 18, have dead patches of grass that are in need of repair. Also, the carts had swarms of sweat bees following throughout the round, which were more of nuisance than an actual danger. The bunker sand is inconsistent in places, such as on hole 1 where the sand is soft and hole 9 where it's firm. Other than that, it's a pretty decent golf course for it's price.

Worth the drive

Brought my wife to the Orchards for the first time. Beautiful tee boxes, fairways, and smooth rolling greens. Quite a gem for a little bit of a drive.
