Back Nine Closed

I was not informed by anyone when I made the reservation that the back nine was closed for aeration until I arrived at course. After finishing front nine, was going to play front again but there were 16 carts ahead of me (senior group) so I was only able to play nine holes.

My home course

I love this course. It is not the hardest, nicest, or anything like that. It's just a nice course with amazing staff. The location is convenient for me also.

Great course for the money

Course layout is decent, weather wasn’t fantastic but I’ve played the course in prime conditions and they do a good job with the overall maintenance. Overall, I enjoy this easy course with minimal danger, some tight fairways and blind tee shots but nothing crazy. A couple real scenic holes make it a fun place. For the price, it’s really worth it.

What a gem

Groundskeepers deserve praise for this one. Course was in excellent condition. Price is right for me, and their youth on course affiliation makes it perfect for my son. The Marshalls and staff are all top quality service industry professionals and I will be bringing my business to Western Hills as often as possible.

Great deal for us start early folks

Great tee time availability, tee boxes need work but overall course is worth the money spent. Played round in under 3 hours

Is this guy serious?!

I felt like I was being punked... the pro shop staff (male) was a grade A jerk to everyone he came in contact with, I saw him interact with at least 8 customers throughout the day and he was completely condescending and rude to everyone! The round rook 5 HOURS?! There were multiple 2 somes no paired up together and the Marshall was driving around and doing nothing about it. 1st and last time playing at this train wreck of a golf course, such a shame because it looks like it has potential. The fairways and bunkers completely overrun with weeds, there was no sand, only dirt and weeds in the traps. The icing on the cake was the guy at the front counter treating everyone as if they were invading his personal golf course and they shouldn't be there. I will not return and everyone I talk to will know to stay far far away from this terrible experience of a golf course that could've been good.

I felt like I was being punked

From start to finish it was torture... front counter staff (male) was extremely rude and condescending, he had smart comments to say to everyone who walked in and made them all feel like they were invading his personal golf course and they shouldn't even be there. The Marshall was nice but did absolutely nothing to help the horrendous pace of place. 5 HOURS!??!! To play a round of golf?!.!.! There were 2 somes out there all over not paired up and we had to wait 10-30 minutes to hit every tee shot and nothing was done about it. They won't ever have to worry about the 4 of us coming back to that train wreck of a golf course. It was pitiful, staff, course conditions, amenities... if I could give it 0 stars I would.

Interesting holes Good condition

Several holes are straight forward what you see is what you get. NOT all holes. Blind drives. Deep valleys water and very tempting par 5s.

People were great. Fun and challenging.

Pay it for sure

Nice course, for the cost it’s really good and pace wasn’t bad for a holiday. If in town, I’d play again.

Once a hidden gem!

The first time I played this course 3-4 years ago, I deemed it a hidden gem. Every time I have come back it's gotten a little worse. This time was bad. Crab grass has taken over the course right up to the greens. Weeds in the fairways and the bunkers have been left to die all season. Full of weeds. It's a city course so not sure what's going on here, Sad cause it's a fun place to place and reasonably prices. Hope they turn it around. Won't be back until they do.

It's improving...

Love playing this course. It has just reopened after a complete redo of the greens which were getting bad under the previous management. I scratched it off the list of places to place when the course got in bad shape, but new owners have made some nice improvements, and it looks to be coming back! Not quite worth the money yet but it will be!
