Prestwick Country Club

i have been told this course was once nice. But the course conditions have gotten so bad that this is the definition of a "goat ranch". playing off dirt half the time. and the grass was like hitting in my beat up back yard. really terrible experience.

Terrible conditions !

Course needed mowing !

Fairways had high grass in spots,very uneven.

Greens were slow and had very rough areas to put thru.

Lots of mole tracks.

It was cart path only and ground was soft but that was understandable.

Nice new cart paths,should have spent that money on the course.

Long time member and local here. What we have here is a situation involving greed and incompetent owners. This is why local state laws are in place to protect such green space areas. Greedy investors view this property as a housing development. The current owner has no other vision than selling for an unattainable profit from a housing developer. in the meantime, market/advertise the course as playable and back to glory days. ALL LIES... irrigation NEVER WAS FIXED. no water and the course conditions show it. No chemicals, fertilizer, sand or any essentials needed for a basic course. incompetent and non existent staff that don't even know how to mow, that's how lazy the owner is and their ability to hire is worthless. Unless the locals or members demand better and take control will, then this place will truly succeed. DON'T PLAY HERE, Contact your local town council and urge the town of Avon to step up!

Course conditions are absolutely horrible. Staff workers are not very welcoming at all.

The course is in horrible shape besides maybe 4 holes (3 which are next to the road and then the 18th hole). Grass isn't cut, fairways are not fairways, tee boxes are horrible, and the greens are an embarrassment.

Positives: The back 9 has some fun and interesting holes. There are some really nice houses back there too. The front 9 is just okay. Pace of play was great.

Negatives: Are the course conditions terrible? Yes. Be prepared for that. The greens were rolling about 5 on the stimp. There's not much living grass on the course outside of the greens. The bunkers are transitioning to weeds and dirt.

Every year I tell myself I will give it one more shot. Every year I’m reminded why I don’t. 6 stacks of 2somes waiting on the 4th hole. Greens and tee boxes never mowed. Course condition is terrible. 6.50 for a hot dog at the turn that was ice cold. 10 dollars for 20 range balls. I’ll pay you not to go here

It's a great course if you decide last minute you want to play a round, because the tee times will be pretty open. However, the greens are in really rough shape. Several 1 putts turned into 2 putts because of ground that should be getting repaired. None of the bunkers are actual bunkers because all of them have weeds galore growing through them. A couple of the greens were really soggy, and the rest were dry as a bone. Most of the tee boxes are borderline unusable because of the weeds and hard ground. Fairways look pretty good though and I think the layout of the course is both great and challenging. But the greens are really hard to play. For 40$ it's okay. Would be great at 30$ or less.

Start off by saying, the staff is very friendly. The layout is good with a decent amount of variety. The cart screens are really nice. There has been a small amount of improvement over the last couple years but not enough for the price.

The greens are more like shag carpet, you have to putt the ball so hard that breaks in the green rarely, if ever, come into play. The latest mow left clippings all over the greens making them even worse to putt on.

The Fairways are ok but the rough is inundated with clover And not cut often enough making it almost impossible to find your ball.

Not sure what is happening with the sand traps except nothing. Overgrown with weeds and hard as asphalt.

90% of the Tee boxes are in horrible shape. Can't find a flat place to stand with all the divets and most are hard as a rock.

Have seen several groups of 5, 6 and even 8 people playing together making pace of play bad. The cart warns people to pick up pace of play if going too slow but there is no one on the course to enforce it.

The cart gps blocks carts from getting close to the green which is fine if set correctly but the boundary on most is too large or makes no sense causing you to constantly have to reverse out of a "restricted" area. Very frustrating.

I did not play this course in its hay day, wish I had. It has a ton of potential but more effort and resources are desperately needed to get it there.

As a past member of this course, it’s unfortunate that the funding of this course has been favored toward the restaurant/clubhouse. This course has a great layout but course conditions are very poor. Greens are not cut short enough for proper play and most are generally in poor condition. With a growing community it would be awesome to have this course back to its old self. Make Prestwick Great Again!

I played a round of golf here recently for $8.92 but somehow feel like the victim of a heist. Tee boxes are a combination of weeds and desert, fairways are unrecognizable, bunkers are forests and the greens are actual berber carpet. I’ve known some golf courses to have slow greens and it would be unfair to put The Prestwick in that category. These greens are slothful. In 18 holes, I didn’t putt a single ball beyond the hole. I don’t know which is more astonishing - that this place is still open or that the golf gods allow it to carry the suffix “country club.” I’ve played many-a-rounds of golf (9-hole courses, par 3 courses, walking-only and cash-only courses) and I’ve never found myself on a tee box genuinely unsure if the hole was to the north, south, east, or west. If you too have never had that experience, you will multiple times in a round here.

There is one thing beautiful about this course - the screens on the golf carts. I’ve never seen so much detail in golf cart tech. Distances from tee box, to green, and to pin are provided effortlessly. Touchscreen capable and zero glitches. However, it may be just too much tech for this course layout. A teenager in the group in front of me found out all too well after her cart locked her out from going forward and only made reverse mode available. She was two feet from backing into the pond before myself and a couple others eventually pushed her forward.

For a course in this condition, it’d be great if the friendly staff gave you a little heads up before your round of what you’re about to experience. It would’ve gone a long way for the nice young man in the pro-shop to hit me with a “our lawnmower broke three summers ago” or for the man with a cigarette emptying trash on the first tee to subtly ask if I “got anything good to listen to out there?” Just a little nod to let me know I wouldn’t actually be playing real golf today would’ve been a nice touch.

Tee boxes were extremely uneven and not tended to with dead spots and weeds/clover. It was difficult to find a good spot to tee up at each hole location from the white tees. There was a lot of clover in and around the fairways and it was difficult to tell where the fairway ended where the first cut began. Lastly, the bunkers have been completely neglected and were unplayable. The bunkers were hard, clumpy dirt that are overgrown with weeds. In the few bunkers that did have sand, the sand was hard and compact and unplayable. I enjoyed the course layout, but Prestwick leaves a lot to be desired as you can tell that course itself used to be really nice, or at least has the bones of a nice course. There are far better courses available for $45/person in the area.

Brought my son and girlfriend to play . The staff was awesome. The course was not . The lay out is great . The red tee markers were not found. . Sand trap more like weed traps . Fairway are the worst

The Course was not well kept at all. Spent $40.00 to have dandelions growing in the fairways. The greens looked as if they hadn't been cut in weeks. Wow.

Course layout is great, staff was very friendly and helpful! The course was in poor condition. Fairways were long, lost multiple balls within a couple feet of fairway rough was so long. Greens were cut long and extremely slow. Every sand trap had been abandoned and was full of grass on top of sand which was as hard as concrete. A little work and the course could be great!

The carts are new with GPS but continued to get locked out. We had to back up and reset the GPS at least 10 times on the cart path.

ive been to prestwick back when it first open with no public access. i went last year a few times and mentioned that the course could use some tlc especially the bunkers! bunkers were so overgrown that there werent really bunkers. so much weeds and dandelions everywhere you would lose your ball easily, knowing you just hit a fairly decent shot right off the fairway. looked for about 10 minutes for my ball a couple times in areas it should have been. but with all the white flower weeds overgrown it wasnt possible. greens were in decent shape. but for $55/rnd id say its a little over priced. there are other options nearby for that price or lower that are in better condition. ill play here again but it is a last resort for me. sorry prestwick.
