Not a good experience

The course was not in very good shape. The sand traps were not good, left unattended. There was grass growing in them. The greens were not in very good shape. I would not recommend this course. Also the driving range was not in taken care of as well. The teeing areas at driving range needed to be mowed. Very disappointed!!!

Course needs some work

The course needs a lot of work . The greens were fairways were decent. The sand traps were awful. The driving range area needed some attention also. I would probably not play this course again.

Getting Better, Like the Layout!

Played this course a couple months ago and it was pretty rough on the edges. Today it was a lot better, However still needs to TLC which I would not think would be that costly. Just some clean-up around the greens where the grass was cut and now laying there drying brown.

Had a really great day overall, Really like the layout and it is a friendly course for average players. Very Open! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Pace of play was great..

First time for my wife to play it and she liked it a lot. Even said it is worth the time form BG to play it again

Western Hills GC

Very nice course except for bunkers, Tees OK, Fairways relatively wide and a great surface for ball striking, chipping areas fully grassed, greens smooth medium speed. Played the blue tees, and had a short to medium Iron in on most holes except for about 4 pars fours that played somewhat longish. Great course many hills, challenging.

Needs some TLC

Was welcomed by staff, very friendly. Nice Carts and Paved cart path throughout the course. Really liked the course layout. Overall rating would be Average at Best. Needs TLC all over. Don't think very much if any chemical treatments are happening on the fairways. The putting Greens were Ok but still need work. This track could be very nice I believe with a bit of TLC.

No cancellation notice.

My friend and I booked a tee time on Friday the 3rd via golf now app for 11:30 Sunday the 5th. Our round was cancelled and I was not notified or refunded. I only found out 2 hours prior because my buddy received an email. Not sure if I wasn't notified because I didn't set it up.. I was invited via the app by my friend.

Poor golf now message

The worst part was that there was a aeration notice was posted but did not say that the back was closed. Figured that it meant the greens were just plugged and not that 9 holes were closed. On top of that men's club went out after my time and were just clearing the tee as i came back around.

Cooler weather, but a little windy

Paid online for this round. It was a pretty good deal. The only drawback, the "fees." They weren't great to have to pay.

Great course

Great course for all types of players. Excellent deal anytime of the week. Greens roll great, just a few spots that had some crab grass. Bunkers are kinda hard but expected with all the rain this year. Overall I really enjoy playing this course.

Even with the huge storm.

So after hitting the driving range and finding the perfect opportunity to slide into my slot amongst a 37 man scramble tourney with ease, the bottom falls out of the sky. It down pours for 45 min and the older men and there tourney was finished. I was not. Stubborn like my old man, I started playing after it died down a bit. Sun came out after the first hole, and I got to see how pretty and well layed out this course was. Difficult par 4s rolling over steep hills turning into that close to the pin par 3. Awesome grass, I dont believe I had a really bad lie on any shot. Ending with an open, I'm gonna hit the crap out of this driver, par 5. Really great course and friendly older men to trade stories with. Thank you for a great experience..

Challenging and fun course!

The course was challenging especially if you haven’t played it before. The fairways and tee boxes were in great condition. The only negative is that the range was in terrible condition.

Course in great shape

The course played well. Just slow today. There should be a Marshall out on the weekends. The group in front of us was very slow! With the exception of a few greens that needed attention, the course was in great shape. I will be back!
