Tuckaway Golf Course

The day was hot but the play was good. There was some spots wet. Over all the course was good.

Course was in great shape (with exception to a few tee boxes). The greens were in excellent shape and rolled fair and true. In the past I found the greens hard to hold on approach shots, but that was not the case today. We have had a lot of rain lately, so that may be more of a factor than maintenance? The rough was really thick and offered added difficulty to errant shots...as it should. The fairways, while not bent grass, played pretty well and were in good condition. The sand traps, while not many of them, were in superb shape. Given the cost, pace of play, and the condition of the course, it was an excellent value and I will be back.

This course was ridiculous if you didn't hit the Fairway. The rough was so thick and high you would lose your ball immediately. On some holes there was literally no difference in grass height from the fairway to the rough. It was all ROUGH. You shouldn't have to waste 5 minutes every time searching for your ball if it goes even 5 yards into the rough. This is not the Open Championship here. Also on the Par 3's if you didn't land short and have them run up you were screwed. I could see my ball land on the green only to find out I was 10 yards past the hole because the greens were concrete and the ball bounced off them. I will never play here again even for the measly 13 dollar fee. I lost that much in balls that were buried in the dumb rough.

It was Sunday morning & busy. The starter was getting behind right away in the morning. Letting out a 5 some didn't help. I didn't see anybody cutting greens until about 8-8:30am. Then he was jumping all over the course. The greens were long, slow, bumpy. (usually start cutting on hole one) He must of over slept. The bar girls were very good & hustled when ever I saw them. But the attire was interesting, one looked like she just got up & drove to the bar. (the outfit or underwear was crazy)

I thought I should have brought a weed whacker in the golf cart with me.

I gave it moderate for diffuculty because it was so hard to putt. Some interesting holes but the condition has gone way down from 8 years ago.

Greens were spongy, bumpy, extremely slow and lots of bare spots. Tee areas weedy, with lots of bare spots. No sand in bunkers, mostly hard dirt. Used to be much better but really needs work. Wish they would make some much needed improvements.

POOR GREENS, HIGH ROUGH FOR A PUBLIC COURSE AND TAKES LONG TIME FINDING BALLS. SAND TRAPS ARE BASICLY DIRT......WOULD NEVER GO BACK.

Fairly easy course. Tough to find the ball in rough(lots of dandelions) otherwise nice course for the money. Friendly staff.

Dandelions everywhere including fairways, asked why and the staff told me that the only working mowers were at their other course. Rough was also 4-5” deep. Lose balls a foot off “fairway”.

The greens are fast an small, if you like to improve your putting this is it fast.

I have played Tuckaway 4-6 times a year for the past 20 years and it remains a solid choice. The course was in nice shape, the greens were a little slower than normal, and the course received a lot of play that day due to perfect weather conditions. I will return.

Overall the course was ok. Lots of leaves. Greens were not kept up real well. Grass was long and lots of debris on greens. Seems to me that if your going to keep the golf course open you should maintain it.
