Great fairway conditions

The fairways are nice and cushiony. They were just aerated and the greens have been verticut and are playing at good speeds. Overall nice playing conditions and definitely a great price for the quality of the course. Plus how can you beat the "bring your own beverage policy."

Hidden Gem

I've played Belk Park for a number of years. Only recently since under new management have I truly enjoyed playing it. I hated in the past given the type of grass in the rough, it was cut with huge amounts of clippings left making finding your ball almost impossible to find. Added to that when you did, getting it out was very frustrating. Now, if you're there getting it out may still be difficult, but you can find your ball. The course plays long from the white and blue tees with little carry, so seniors should play from the gold. Greens and fairways are in the best condition I've ever seen. If you get Golfnow trade pricing usually under $20 you get a whale of a deal.

Dogleg Heaven

Fun Doglegs. Course was wet (due to this it had not been mowed). I look forward to playing in a couple of weeks when the grass fills in. Its open (with a couple of narrow fairways) and for the most part flat.

Solid Course For This Area

Course was in good shape, as always. A few bunkers could use some maintenance and fresh sand. Pace of play on a Thursday night was very good!

Green speeds were inconsistent, from quite fast to slow. We all lost a few strokes with the putters.

Well worth the drive up to Wood River.

Belk Park Great Condition

The fairways are in and in awesome shape. The greens are running smooth and true. They are well ahead of several other courses getting back to summer conditions after the long cold winter. Will definitely be back there many times this year.

Good course for all level of players

Course was in good shape and the green rolled fast and true. Fairway bunkers are not easy to see for first time players, so pay attention to card. even better if you have a gps unit to tell you how far they are. Wide open but still a challenge as the length makes up for the lack of hazards.

Rough was rough

One of my favorite courses, but this time left much to be desired. Greens were excellent, but grass had not been mowed which made rough ridiculous to find your ball, let alone get out of to get up and down. Couldn't find balls that landed in high grass that was in the open and no where near a hazard. Very disappointed!! Not worth what we paid to play.

December and still Green!!

2nd time I have used Golfnow and love the value, Went out with 3 men who all worked at local casinos and had a great time (shot a 82 from the seniors) good round for me. We played in 3hrs 15 min. and that was a 4-some and me walking the course. Greens very good shape, soysia fairways. Belk is a great track and even better at the Golfnow.com rate of $9.00 for a 12:15 t-time. Chuck in Illinois

Great place to play on a nice Saturday afternoon

I loved the course. It is in great shape. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a little slow at first, but picked up on the back 9. The people we played with were very nice and we talked about a few different courses that we all had purchased through Golfnow. We agreed that this course at that price was one of the best deals for a nice day that we could find.
