Nice course, if you can get a good rate

Typically this course runs about $65 for 18 and a cart and while it's a nice course, not sure it's worth that type of coin.

Hidden gem

Very nice course with some challenging holes. It would be nice if some golfers would follow the USGA golf etiquette of repairing their ball marks on the green.

Cool old school coarse, but the greens were rock hard and needed water. They held almost no shots,

Liked the coarse overall, but it was narrow and winding. Reminded me of British style links coarse's with trees. Tee boxes were poorly marked and smallish. Hole 16 was very narrow and had a very tough approach for your 2nd shot. Fun overall and would play again at the discounted price, not full.

Arboretum with Water

Course was well set up and maintained. Starter was very helpful and friendly. Played with two different threesomes on the front and back nines and both were good company.

Can I get a Ranger?

Poor judgement by starter allowing a fivesome ahead of us considering our Saturday morning 7:48 am tee time was a "fast play " promotion. The group ahead of the five in front of us was the real problem, did not see one ranger on the course. Beverage cart service also nonexistent. Will play this challenging course again but only at a discounted rate.

Didn't Love It

This is a short, narrow, tree-lined course. Typical par four is 350 yards. Par is 70. The 18 holes are on top of each other, tee boxes adjacent and fairways separated by a thin tree line. Big hitters who spray with hooks/slices won't have a lot of breathe easy holes here. Even fades and draws find tree branches. I didn't find anything particularly enjoyable or memorable about the course. It was a narrow challenge, that's for sure. To me, the holes all blend together in my memory as short narrow doglegs. I did find it to be well maintained. Not fancy by any stretch. The $55 GolfNow rate was also available direct through Old Orchard website for a Saturday teetime. So not sure how this was any deal. I won't be back.

Weekend twilight

The twilight rate is good, but I wouldn't pay their regular rates to play. The sprinklers were on at 4, 5, and 6pm on various holes, but it was 85 or 90 degrees and sunny out. At that temp, half of the water evaporates before it ever even has a chance to get into the ground. That was annoying. They should run the sprinklers at night. They'd save money and not create obstacles for the golfers.

Accuracy is Key

This a beautiful and well maintained course - some tricky holes, which get trickier if you dont hit a good tee shot.
Greens are challenging and in great condition.

Very nice course, well maintained. Can be challenging if you're not on the fairway.

I liked this course!
Sidenote: I took notice of how clean the bathroom was on the course, nice touch if you have to use it.

Good track will challenge you without being too difficult

Faitways and greens in very nice condition.. This is a pretty narrow track and they let the rough grow so if you missed the fairway you always had to take at least 1 more club to dig it out and make the green. Made for a good challenge.
Wish they had a beverage cart on the course as it was pretty warm day and could have used a few refills.
It is a bit more expensive than other local comparable courses so I would not play it all the time. The value is not as high.

Quick smooth greens, shaggy fairways, real rough, not enough sand in traps

Traditional parkland course with mature trees. Super friendly staff. Quick smooth smallish contoured greens, shaggy fairways, real rough, not enough sand in traps. Pace of play slower than expected. Decent layout with a half dozen memorable holes. GPS on carts. Multiple tee locations accommodate golfers of all skill and length levels. Would play it again with GolfNow discount, closely mowed fairways, and another inch of sand over the hard base.

They sell too many tee times

We played this course yesterday and it took just under 5 1/2 hours to complete the round. There were two foursomes on the third tee when we got there. It is a short course and it gets backed up frequently.
