The tee boxes looked like no one takes care of them. Guy working check-in wasn’t the nicest of people. Trying to rush us when we weren’t late for our time.

Rough Course

Greens were taken care of, but that's it. Short course. Mats on every blue tee box, white tee boxes were almost always pure dirt. Fairways were 50/50 grass and dirt. Very tight course. Classic muni course, but they could really do a few things to improve the round at the price they charge.

Feel Good Golf Course

Great for seniors. Short course that is reasonably priced and short enough to afford you the opportunity for a better final score.

Not the Edgebrook of Old

My husband and I hadn't played this course in probably 20 years. Our memories were an old course with minimal maintenance and having to tee off from rubber mats.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. The greens looked very well kept and the ranger was doing a nice job of gently moving everyone along and keeping us updated. We had a beautiful day an will definitely be heading back soon.

Slow and dry

This course has ten minute tee times so you are always waiting on every hole, and also the people in front of you that are waiting aswell. When i last played there was 4 groups waiting for hole 9. The ground is hard as a rock to the point where tees break trying to get them in the ground. After all that if you still choose to play here you need to leave 30 minutes early to still arrive late because the traffic is always awful. 1/10 only good thing is the staff.

Hi Tofji,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play during your visit. We understand how important it is for our guests to enjoy a smooth and enjoyable round of golf. Your comments are valuable to us, and we are actively looking into ways to improve the flow on the course.

10 Minute tee time spacing is actually more than industry standard so we will have to look into what happened on this day a bit further.

We hope you give us another chance, as pace issues is not typical to our course.

Best regards,

The Edgebrook Golf Course Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We do rely a lot on mother nature to keep the course watered. Pace of play is a big concern across the industry and we will make sure we do all we can to keep the rounds moving. Industry standard tee time intervals are less than 10 minutes so we will make sure we are doing all we can do to move players along.
