The Course at Aberdeen

Out of town on a business trip i happened upon this course. Country club attention from staff. Outstanding and challenging course layout. Unreal value. Course was a bit over watered and they DESPERATELY need a layout book for new players but I loved it. Will be making the 3 hour trip to play this course again before the end of summer.

Aberdeen is most enjoyable. Course was in very decent shape, pretty dry as of this past Friday and very playable. Putts were not too bumpy...found the course more playable with slower green speeds...during the summer the down hill putting here can be devilish and extremely quick. Interesting large green sites with some nice undulations . Aberdeen has very good variety good ups and downs with many elevated tee boxes....some short par 4's, par 3's of varying lengths and fun par 5's all of which require a shot over a ravine or water for your 2nd shot. Since it's so early in the season the sand traps were not raked yet....there are plenty of them but generally they are not maintained very well in season. The 12th hole has to be played a few times just to get the hang of it and the 16th is a really good demanding par 4 late in the round.

Folks in the clubhouse are always very nice and welcoming....and they take pride in their course. Good grass driving range with short game targets to warm up on and a very representative large practice putting green. Drop your clubs off at the bag drop....and then park unless you want to schlep them some distance from the car and then down a flight of cement (sometimes slippery) stairs to the carts. Not really a walking course as there is some distance between greens and tees....the neighborhood houses/condo's are not intrusive so for a "cart" course it's really well designed. 4.25 stars (in season usually between 4 to 4.5 depending on conditioning/pace of play) as were weren't informed in the clubhouse that there were temp flags on the 5th and 6th......(which is a-okay because these two greens need some rest/TLC as they are mainly shaded). Played in 320 and our twosome even had a two some and a three some play through us.....and I thought our two moved fairly swiftly around the course! Thanks Aberdeen we'll definitely be back again in a few months.

Very good value if you get on for $30 or under weekdays, $40 or under weekends. Always a fun fave of our group....no one complains about the extra 1/2 hour drive when all is said and done.

This is second time i played in a week and I am going again on Friday. Greens are so good and it rolls very true. Back nine seems little more challenging. Bunkers where in very good shape even after all the rain we got this week. This course is not for walking. Overall had a good round front nine 2 over and back nine 6 over.

Course is very nice. nice short cut fairways. no 2 holes cross next to each other. beautiful homes and scenery around almost every hole.

Played after heavy rains, in area . Traps had water.. Some traps are neglected. Great fairways, good greens. Good price. CM

This course has gone downhill significantly over the past couple years. The bunkers are in terrible shape, I'm not sure what they're doing with the tees but the tips aren't even an option with markers and some boxes aren't even mowed. Course is pretty unsightly and I was embarrassed to have brought a friend with me who had never seen the course before. Won't be back until something changes.

While only living a few miles from Aberdeen, I somehow never managed to get out and play this gem of a golf course. Could be that since I am only playing for a few years, that I thought it would be too challenging for me. Well today I played it for the first time. It is indeed a very, very nice course that is also challenging, but not overwhelmingly so. Choose a tee box that fits your game, and enjoy the challenges that await you. From the grounds to the course itself, all is topnotch. Well kept, and well maintained are the keywords here. And all of the facilities are superb. My tee time booking came with complimentary range balls, which was a very nice touch, affording me a chance to limber up my swing and warm up a bit. One can hit as many or as few balls as one likes. The staff was very friendly, courteous, and most accommodating. I did not order any food, but the ice cold beer at the end of my round while relaxing on the patio was mighty tasty and refreshing. Pro shop also looked well stocked, if you need anything to fill your golf bag. Thank you to all at Aberdeen for making my first experience a 10 out of 10 ! ! ! Will definitely be back again more often.

They have let the course go. weeds, bunkers filled with grass and weeds, greens aerated but never rolled, bumpy and full of holes, cart paths are so bad in some areas they are hazardous. This used to be a nice track, now its an eye sore.

The putting surfaces at Aberdeen were excellent - best I've seen at this place in several years. Given all the rain recently it was amazing how well the course drained. Very nice golf course, interesting and challenging. Well maintained....just wish folks would replace/repair their divots in the fairway. Highly recommend......4.5 stars.....gave it 5 because of the surprising maintained conditions.

Greens and fairways perfect, but the bunkers:
Some had just dirt, that was not maintained at all.
They are working on them as some have new sand delivered awaiting installation.

They also have weeds (not heavy grass, but weeds) around the edges of these bunkers. You can hit a ball there and not find it. Need some work there, please.

We played the bunkers with the knowledge that they were bad, and we improved our lies in the ones we could play. Just make this a local agreement among your group and go enjoy this course.

Tip: Watch the hidden water on the right side of #3. The hole lines sets up for you to hit it over there, and if you go too far right, the ball will run into the water.

. . . The Course at Aberdeen could be so much better. There are obvious flaws. The "bunkers" have no sand. You have to play off dirt/mud and contend with weeds. From what I have now read in previous reviews, the bunkers have been this way for a long time. Diagrams of the holes on the scorecard would help, especially on blind approaches. The reflectors on the pins need replacement or repair, as my laser rangefinder only worked on 4 holes. I'm sorry, but in its present condition, this is a rare course that I cannot recommend.

It was a wonderful experience. Course is wonderfully layed out with all of its features. There is a little bit of everything water,trees,surprises which makes it a pleasant playing experience. I will definitely recommend this golf course to my friends. We will be back next week.

Overall course layout great. Greens were fast, but held approach shots well.

Bunkers however are terrible and if u do not buy yardage book you have no idea of course layout.

Other than these 2 things course of Aberdeen is fantastic course to play.

While this course was well off the beaten path for my group, the value made up for it. The course is aesthetically designed and well kept. Some of the greens were a bit rough, but nothing ridiculous. We paid $44 with a cart on Sunday morning. For that price, this course is a very good value.

Greens were firm and hard to stop on the some of greens even wedge shots. But around greens were soft. Approach shots were tricky. They didn't take care of bunkers and bunkers were horrible. Since they don't cut the trees around course, some holes looked different to the yardage book.

Great shape of the golf course and very hilly and difficult though but overall great time

Aside from a partially flooded green, this course is absolutely beautiful. My only wish is the availability of a scorecard giving a drawing of each hole, and better yardage/distance markings on par 3's.

This was my first time playing here. The conditions were excellent for mid May. Beautiful and scenic. Was a great day except for the pace of play.

I think the title says it all..twas a beautiful day. The fairways were running. The greens were smooth..

The greens were incredible smooth to putt on especially so early in the season it was something I didn't expect. My only complaint is more yardage information either on the score card or on the tee box.
