Shot course

This isn’t simply a bomb and gouge course. Every hole is distinctly different and you get to use most cubs in your bag.

Well worth the money..

Variation

This course forces you to hit shots not bomb and gouge. Was in great shape. Greens were tricky first time out. No holes were the same.

Still Nice

I played Aberdeen on 04/16/2022 with three other friends of mine. It's been a year and a half since I last played here, and I am happy to say the course is in remarkable shape for this early in the year. The bunkers were raked, and the greens rolled smooth. The gentleman operating the pro shop / snack shop was very friendly and professional. I will be back.

Only back nine was open

Booked last minute, but upon arriving to course was told play was only on the back nine. I pre-paid for 18, so was told to play the back nine again and they would have a slot available at the turn. When I come in from my first nine there were 3 groups waiting on the tee box and since I was playing as a single didn’t feel like squeezing in between the foursomes. I went back in and requested a refund which the course will do. I think there should be more disclosure on this in the app or website. Otherwise was fine and will be back when the course is fully open.

So So conditions

Course was ok but aeration was still there presenting poor putting conditions but it was November Started us on the back nine and when we arrived at hole 1 there were two foursomes ahead of us Can’t believe they would send anyone out ahead of us but we did get 18 in as the last group to leave for the day. Normally the course is in excellent condition

Much Better

Course was in much better shape than last year. Greens were fantastic . Course was showing a little wear n tear but after all it is September. Pace of play was great. I believe that was due to me teeing off at noon during football season. Played in under 3 hrs. Staff was very friendly. They even brought me a new cart because mine was dying. Beer cart woman was awesome too. Great Sunday afternoon

Pros: friendly, helpful staff; reasonable green fees (with the Hot Deals, at least).

Cons: conditions could be better (tee boxes are uneven, bunkers weren't prepared for Saturday play), layout demands precision or a lot of balls, course is not walkable.

Impressed

The last time I had played Aberdeen was 2 or 3 years ago. After that experience it seemed it was doubtful I would return as the course had fallen in hard times.

I had heard it was bought and the irrigation system issues were fixed so the hot deal got me out there today. I was very happy I made the trip to Valpo and now likely to return.

The issues I remember like bad turf conditions from tee to green had been fixed. The greens were a tad slow for my preference but they were pure and rolled true. The greens are in such great condition that if they were quicker it would be a very difficult test.

The only beef I have that golfnow coupon codes never seem to work. It would be unfair to Aberdeen to take that into account on the review scores.
