Won’t return

First and last time playing here. Tee boxes are horrible, impossible to find level footing. Fairways are like light rough, rough is 4 inches deep. Layout is very narrow and in places unfair . Greens are tiny but in good shape.

Best Condition Course

Old Orchard is a park like course with narrow fairways, small greens and strategic water features. The fairways are creeping bent with thick bluegrass rough. The course was in the best condition of all courses I've played this year. The greens were in exceptionally good condition. A challenging sporty course.

Did not like some holes not allowing carts to drive on. The fairways looked great and did not need to be closed to carts!

Disappointed

I booked the tee time on Golfnow. The morning forecast was rain and 55 degrees. I cancelled with golfnow expecting to get a refund. They notified me no refund on “hot deals”. I called the course to see what they could do. The pro says the can’t refund the money because they don’t get any money from Golfnow for “hot deal” reservations. They trade tee times for marketing and promotion.. So actually they do get paid in the form of a barter. He also says we still have a valid reservation in their system. Since it looks like if might clear up, we head over to the course but by the time we get there it’s raining and supposed to continue for a few hours. We go into the pro shop and ask for a raincheck. They explain again that they don’t get anything for “hot deals” (they actually do via barter). They won’t give us a raincheck but say we are welcome to play as much as we want in the rain. What a joke!

Good course

Good course, would definitely play again. Understanding pace is slower due to current environment, today had a lot to do with one was in front of us. Very slow round due to groups ahead. Our tee time was midday…1pm. Nice staff/course. Come here when you have nowhere to be after.

Over priced

Fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape. Not worth $85 a person.

Full of obstacles

Staff was not helpful. They had a Corp event that day but still it was disappointing how discombobulated they were. The course was challenging with many trees and hazards. Come with all aspects of your game honed. It’s a pretty course but too many helicopters seeds on the greens. I think it could be better maintained.

Terrible conditions

can't even cut the grass on the tee boxes let alone the fairway played the course many times the worst shape I've ever seen it don't know what their problem is. You want to charge $85 to play the least you can do is keep up the course conditions I would not recommend it unless they call first and see if the grass has been taken care of

Must keep the ball in play ,away from water,sand, and rough.

Par 3's are the least challenging,except for #11.

Par 4's are not easy, and hard to reach in 2.,
