Great conditions

All aspects were clearly well cared for and manicured. From tee box to green including rough, fairway, and bunkers. Greta course to play as single this time. Slow pace allowed me to play two balls so basically 2 rounds for price of one.

Course in good shape- enjoyable round

The course was in very good condition from tees to greens although the bunkers were hard packed with too little sand. The greens were relatively slow and it took a few holes to acclimate to the speed. The pace of play was good with 18 holes in about 4 hours with few delays. The staff was friendly and the carts are nearly new with quiet electric motors. I squally play this course once or twice a year,

Always a Pleasure!

The course is a lot of fun. Some challenging holes but not too tricked up. Always in nice condition and the staff is outstanding. From the Pro Shop to the Starter, to the Ranger and even the cart guys...everyone is so nice. They go out of their way to make sure you enjoy the round. Never had a bad experience! GO PLAY!!!

Greens & Fairways in great shape. Good value.

In the midst of a heat wave but the fairways and greens were in surprisingly good shape. Better, in fact, than how I found them when I first played the course just a couple of months ago. 3:50 start seemed just right and my group of 3 sped through our round with no waiting and no push from behind. Well worth the money spent.

Pretty good course for good price!

Some acquaintances have said this course wasn’t good. I booked a solo slot when I couldn’t find a time at one of my more usual courses. I was pleasantly surprised. Course was in fine condition -not great but nothing at all to really complain about. Pace of play was okay. Course is on the shorter side but it is tight and there are some interesting layouts that make the shorter holes plenty challenging. Price is very competitive for the area.

Fairway Hills—Mixed Experience

Experience was mixed bag; first 9 my twosome got stuck behind a slow-moving foursome that led to the hole immediately ahead (and sometimes a second hole) to be open ahead of them. They never considered waving us through. Ranger finally showed up on 6th tee about delay, he said they would likely leave after 9 which turned out to be the case. First 9 took 2:20, second 9 took 1:45 with nobody ahead of us. Course needs a concession stand, or at least someone in cart with beverages and snacks. However, course is generally a good challenge, in quite good shape, and as long as carry over marshes and creeks on 6 holes is not a problem for the golfer, it plays pretty fair.

Course was in very nice condition

I haven't played this track in many years as it is a shorter track and has a lot of newer players playing, which is a great thing, I just try and play longer courses. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised how nice the course was condition wise. It is still short and was even shorter as #10 fairway was closed and it was turned into a temporary Par 3. I enjoyed the round, the greens rolled well and the fairways were in nice shape.

No flexibility with GolfPass changes

A day prior to play, one of our 4-some had to drop out due to an emergency. There was no opportunity to modify the reservation and the facility was unwilling to offer a credit or refund (I live in the county).

Wait times for each hole were very slow, and we decided to end our plat after 9 holes. It was a painful experience in waiting at every hole.

Hole number 11 was a par 4 they made it a par 3 for no reason and we were not alerted to the change. Didn't make any sense why they shortened the hole

Hole number 11 was a par 4 they made it a par 3 for no reason and we were not alerted to the change. Didn't make any sense why they shortened the hole Someone said the residence complained. Well I guess they will be cutting down hole number 1, 2, 7, and 16 soon.
