Brown & Sandy

Fairways and tee boxes were not in yet. Greens were punched and sanded (heavily) so my putting was more worse than usual.

S’okay but weekends are slow, slow play

Course has its challenges: tight, short, need shot making. But, man, the pace of play was terribly slow. I know, it’s Columbia on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. So, it’s going to be crowded. But, maybe take fewer tee time reservations and get a ranger out there, pushing people along?

Conditions

The fairways were bare in so many places. Whomever aerated the greens did a terrible job and there were grooves from the machine all over the greens. The course was not worth $30 in that condition yet alone $58

Wow

55 dollars to play is not awful. Course is a dog track. I don’t know who takes care of this course but they should find a new profession. right now it’s not worth 20 dollars. The greens look like a backhoe drove over then

Great staff, course was very poor

Staff was amazing, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The course was horrible, fairway was nothing but dead grass. The amount of times we had to tee off with a wood or hybrid because of the layout was ridiculous. Wouldn’t play here again but had a great time due to the staff!

Classic story but tight course

Fun to play, good variation of holes, generally tight and short, and the conditions could be better,but decent value for the money.

Great course

There a few issues with our cart shutting down because it thought we were on the no cart area when aw actually were on the cart path also the bridge was out of service however, this was just small issues. We were still allowed to do 90 degree fairways in our carts and the fairways were in good condition as far as it wet or anything like that.

So, I enjoyed our first time playing at Fairway Hills and planning to return.
