Orchards Golf Course

I played on a Saturday with another group of three and there were tee times scheduled 6 minutes apart. For the first few holes, the pace wasn't too bad, but coming up to the par-5 4th hole, there were 4 groups waiting for the tee box, including a twosome behind us who decided to leave. We ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes before finally teeing off. After that, the pace sped up a tiny bit, and we ended up playing most of the back nine without delay. The round ended up being a little over 4 1/2 hours.

On more negative notes, the carts get swarmed by sweat bees for the first few holes, some of the tee boxes are hard as rocks, some of the bunkers are also hard (but others are really nice), and the 18th hole is a terribly designed, almost 600-yard-long par-5, with an almost zero chance of making the green in two unless you can drive the ball to just before the dogleg at around 340 yards.

On a positive note, the greens were rolling true and the cost wasn't too bad. The ground under the fairways and rough were a bit dry, but playable.

Don't know if it's all the time but did not see anyone until hole 13, made for a peaceful and enjoyable round of golf.

This was my first time playing at Orchards and I honestly had a great time. Brought a friend that is learning to play, along my usual group. We took advantage of a hot deal from golf now and I would say it was definitely worth it. The only main complain I would have if any was the older gentleman, I assume the marshal was pretty rude. Small gripe; I have never been to a course where you aren't allowed to drive in the rough except for designated spots, so when he rolled up shaking his head at me and rolling his eyes, it was a little off-putting to say the least. I definitely missed the fine print on that one on the cart card, but either way, I'd be glad to come back with the friends...really pretty layout for my taste.

The course in the facilities have a substantial amount of wear and tear, fair amount of crabgrass & weeds throughout the course. Definitely needs a facelift and some TLC.! Opened up as a premier course back in the day, not so much now.

Went on Father's day. The pace of play was the slowest I have seen while playing here but totally makes sense for the day. Usually have great pace of play. Such a cool course to play!

The pace of play was super slow. Did go on Fathers day tho so that may be why. What usually took 3.5 hours took 5.5 hours. Had to wait for a cart and there were several different tee times stopped at holes waiting to play. Overall great course.

I would like to play this course again during drier conditions. There were a lot of puddles and mud from all of the recent rain. Overall the course was fine and well maintained.

Great course conditions. Solid pace of play. Would help if iced water would be readily available free of charge.

Our foursome and groups in front and behind us played quickly. The tee boxes were a little rough but in line with price paid. The folks at the bar and pro shop were nice and a good day was had by all

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.

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.

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

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!!!

Course in good condition, nice layout, incredible fast pace of play
