My 2 month old neice could take better care of this course

This course was terribly maintained. The rough was about 4 inches tall. It was nearly impossible to find any balls If you hit it in to the rough. Tee boxes were more spongy than Spongebob Squarepants. And to top it all off on the 18th fairway we had to run for cover like it was Europe in WWII with the amount of practice balls from the driving range. I wouldn't even pay $10 to golf here.

Old Orchard's in great shape.

Not real long but a challenge always. Greens in great shape but sand needs a little work. Played from the tips. Could use more distance markers. Tough to find on course, maybe some on cart paths. Overall good experience.

Nice course

Course was in great shape, Greens fast and true. When we showed up a Fivesome of older women were teeing off, so the staff suggested we start on ten. Great call because we moved right along and finished in 4 hrs.

Nice experience

There was an outing that teed off before our round. The head pro asked us to wait till our tee time prior to teeing off . We were 30 minuets early and he didn't want us to catch up and wait on the course. We happily complied and played a 4:15 minuet round on a Sunday afternoon. Nice! Great communication from the head pro.

Somewhat disappointed

Booked on golf now and when we showed up there was a High School Scramble in progress and they put us on hole #6 and we agreed but when we approached hole 11 we had caught up to some in the scramble and the ranger put us on 14. Ok we overall have an understanding nature and both have kids about this age and albeit they were all well behaved it was very frustrating to zig zag and try and play a complete round. Staff and facilties were great overall but the scamble put a damper on the day? If your going to book tee times and have events then please find a way to communicate this somehow prior to accepting bookings please? thats all.

Beautiful Public Country Club Course

Upon showing up, the starter was friendly as he greeted me. The pro shop check in was smooth and professional. I actually got out early and had a great round on a gorgeous and extremely well maintained course. Other than grounds keepers being in the way the first 5 holes, it was a nice, comfortable round of golf. I was very impressed, as it was my first time here. Will be back again.

Low bang for the buck

You can tell that at one point, this was a booming country club... However, this course is a shell of what it used to be.

$65 is a steep price for this course. I would play it again at a considerable discount, but not $65.

Rough is long and unkempt. Difficult to find balls, which slowed the pace of play down. Shaggy greens - Several putts redirected by ball marks that weren't fixed, and hardly any putts broke at all.

9/10 traps you see are filled with wasps. I hit the ball in a few traps, and it was pretty insane to see how many were in there. I had to take an unplayable every time.

We didn't see a beverage cart the entire time we played. No starter, which caused confusion at the tee box.

It would be tough to get me back to this course.

Pace of play

Two very slow groups in front

Where's the ranger to speed them up?
