Exquisite and Lush

Great course, although I would not recommend for beginners. Sublime tee boxes, fairways and greens; VERY challenging rough and bunkers. Free practice facilities were superb.

Food, servers, and cart girl were delicious.

Only real gripe was that the carts didn’t have rain covers on them (we did experience a bit of rain).

Maintained Beautifully but Super Tough!

Incredibly Maintained, especially considering lack of recent rain. Tough course for anyone but a scratch/low handicap. Still a great experience overall, due to free practice facilities and condition of course compared to others in the competing Mid-Atlantic area

A shell of its former self

I used to play Bulle Rock with good regularity in the 2000s. I was back in the area for the first time since playing it last in 2017. This is not the same place that hosted the LPGA Championship over the years. There were lots of little things that you'd never expect to see before: burned out fairways, spotty greens, overgrown railroad ties, inconsistent bunker sand, long left unfilled divots on the tee boxes and fairways, etc. At least the fescue was more manageable and no longer an automatic lost ball.

We played on a warm (but by no means hot) day. There was not a single drop of water available on the course. They removed all of the water coolers during COVID (per ranger), but have not replaced any of them. The ranger did not have waters or a cooler on his cart and said that we needed to get waters from the beverage cart. Our first sighting of the beverage cart was on the 15th hole. When we raised this issue with the pro shop staff, they were incredulous to our concern.

Great experience

Course is pricier than a lot of courses on GolfNow but well worth it. Loved the layout - every hole is unique. Excellent condition and well worth the price of admission!

Very nice

Course was great. Driving range - less than average. Needed a sand wedge as I forgot to pack one. They were nice enough to loan me one but didn’t have one for sale which seemed unusual to me. It was a very nice day.

Classic Dye, Fun Course, Poor Facility

When you play a Dye course you expect some trickery; lots of mounding in the fairway, blind shots, odd bounces. To that, sometimes his courses can be great some times just annoying. While the track is fun (and it is fun), I found it to be a little too tricked out even for a dye course. I also found it a bit unimaginative as compared to other Dye Courses (french Lick, ocean, whistling etc)

Now the golf was fun, the staff was friendly; but the facility itself bad. They have a great short game area but force you to hit off 20 yr old mats, the range is good but the grass is in serious need of re-sodding, the locker room is small, and has no benches. The showers were disgusting w mold on the curtains. There is also barely any light in the shower room and is kind of dangerous not gonna lie. Overall clear signs of leaks and poor maintenance and just a general lack of pride in maintaining the building which is very disappointing. You pay 110 bucks to play golf at an awarding winning golf course that has hosted professional events, you don’t expect the facilities to be as run down as they were. All in all though, would recommend the course but would love if ownership would but some money in to the club house. I had no desire to spend money there after my round

PS: the greens are TOO firm, very difficult for double digit HCPers to hold the greens

I’ve played there several times, and it never disappoints. Certainly a challenge. Can’t wait to go back.

Expensive with no advance warning

Went threw Golf Now booked in advanced. When we arrived only 9 holes were open we had to play the back 9 twice. I asked for a discounted rate and was almost laughed at for asking.
