Great municipal course!
This course is hard. I'm an 18 handicap and had my tail handed too me. The ball almost always settles deep into the rough. The greens were fast, not the most receptive, and had tons of undulation. Even though this course mentally demoralized me, I'm excited to go back and try to redeem myself. One thing I learned about this course is you do not have too be a long hitter here, fairways are the place to be. On most par 4's, 210-240 yd drive leaves you 110-150yds out. You do have to be a decent putter or you'll be 40+ strokes of just putts. Putting is key at this track.
Nice course, challenging greens that were in good shape. Only thing missing was a cart girl.

Great day
Course is in pristine condition. Greens running fast and true. I've been playing golf here for a long time and it is in great shape. Got paired with a 3some and we had a wonderful time ☺.

Great value & well maintained
The Crook is a great course for all skill levels. Fairways & greens are as good as any course around. Honestly, I’ve played Thunderhawk and Shepherds Crook is better maintained and a lot better value for the price. Also the patio is a nice place to sit and overlook the course. If you like a burger The Crook Burger is usually excellent. If you want a cold one after they have a nice selection of beers. Very rarely does the pace of play go over 4 hours. I consider The Crook my home course.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u314162075714. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Shepherd's Crook Golf Course thanks you!
Course Plan
There is absolut no Information at the tees or on the scorecard how the fairway is running and how the distances to e.g. the bunkers are. Why did we got no course saver at the proshop?
