Good shape

Played on a Friday morning, got out in front of an outing. Pace of play was excellent and the course was in terrific shape. The greens looked fast, but putted slower than expected, they did putt true to the chosen line. Overall good experience, will play again soon.

Where is my ball

This is a nice course but if you slice the ball be prepared to loose a lot of them. Very nice looking, greens were in good shape.

Too pricey for the course condition

Many tee boxes need leveling. Very frustrating to be penalized with uneven lies on the tee box. I expect that from the Ridge, but not Aberdeen.

Course in better shape than years ago, but too pricy for this course, even during off peak hours.

Avg at best

Lowest rate on the weekends is 50$ . That seems high … considering the fact that they left the big cup holes in from the tournament they had earlier in the day . The fat guy in the pro shop who rang us up , didn’t bother to mention that. He was too busy stuffing his face , along with his subpar demeanor . 3 stars is rounding up .

Championship Course

Course was in great condition with rolling fairways and fast greens. They did remove a lot of sand bunkers and are replacing them with grass (free drop). Some complained but they also don’t realize how expensive bunkers are to maintain on a regular basis. Will definitely be back!!

Love The Course at Aberdeen

Fantastic day on the course yesterday! Staff was beyond friendly, pace of play was perfect, and course (although some areas were under repair) was still in immaculate shape!

Highly recommend to others but hope this course still remains a hidden gem with great pace of play!

Don’t like the new course revisions

Over the winter the course was disappointedly amended. Essentially all the sand traps and key obstacle trees were removed. It was noted they were removed for the playability but seems to be for the cost savings. Been playing this course since it opened and have to say I’m not sure I’ll be back. Might give it one more chance when they complete the changes but I’m not optimistic.
