Never hat tires of playing here. Tough course to play in the wind.

SC was in excellent shape. The greens are quick and roll true. The staff were quite accommodating. The food was great and the libations Icy cold.
Enjoyed the course immensely. We played 36 and got them all in.

Great Value, Underrated
Love the layout, love it more when it is dry and firm.
Greens are challenging, especially with the US Open Sunday pin positions we saw today.
Pace of play can be. difficult out here but rangers were efforting to move things along.
Well worth the drive to play here, just wish they had a driving range or at least some nets to hit some warmup shots!

Links style course
Challenging golf course with rolling fairways and greens. My only complaint is that on each tee hole, the ground crew did not put the markers back on the ground after the worked the tee ground so it was difficult to find where to tee off.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Shepherd's Crook Golf Course thanks you!
Links Stylr
Course in great condition and challenging with rolling hills and greens. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because the tee markers were not in place. So it was hard to fine the tee marker on each hole.Looked like the cut the tee area but did not put the markets back.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Shepherd's Crook Golf Course.

Beware of Racial Discrimination from Staff!!!
I don't often write reviews but, feel the need to share my experience. We played at Shepard's Crook five minutes late from our tee time because a friend was pulled over. Started the back nines, without incidence and was moving along the round just fine. Until midway towards # 18 when a staff member rode up to us and said he was kicking us off the course for slow play. At first, we thought he was just kidding because there was only one friendly ask for us to pick up pace of play because a two-som was behind us. We finished # 18 and......NO, they were not kidding. When asked why we were being kicked off the course? The staff member yelled and screamed at us with only a "YOU ARE OFF THE COURSE." We spoke to the manager and he said we were warned (4) four times. This was completely untrue. Hate to say it, but we felt a little discriminated against because we were the only Non-White golfer on the course at the time. Just wondering how many defenseless Non-White golfers with less then perfect English have been TARGETED by the Manage and his Staff???
Great course
Course was in excellent condition. Only disappointment was the pace of play. Much slower than the last time I played.

Becoming a favorite
Hadn’t played here until this year but have played it three times so far. Really enjoyable layout. First few holes are pretty easy before you start to see significant dog legs and elevation changes. The greens have lots of undulations but are readable and roll true.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Shepherd's Crook Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
