Great experience minus one thing-

The course was very nice for a public course. The greens need to be a little faster but can't expect everything to be perfect on a public course. Sadly they were out of alcohol because of July 4th, but the only bad part was on hole 16. The water smelled terrible, there is raw sewage pouring into the pond. This needs fixed asap! Other than that, the course was beautiful and well kept.

Nice track but my goodness 5 hours for 16 holes. We got rained out the last 2.

We were told they had no staff for Marshall’s and no one to come out and move people on even though I phoned the club house after we played 4 holes in an hour. I would play the course again though. Difficult track with lots of nasty rough.

Course was in great shape

I was in the Georgetown area with a group of golfers and played four local courses. Kearny Hills was by far in the best shape of them all. Nothing to complain about.
