Fairway Hills Golf Club

I cannot recall the last time I played a course with such horrible greens. Patchy, weedy and sometime just dirt. It looked like they recent aerated, and to be fair, we got hit with a lot of rain lately. They will not recover any time soon.

I’ve played this course 8 times. 50% of the time the course is great. The other 50% is a different story. The greens all look like they have cancer. The rough is extremely deep. If you miss the fairway by 2 feet you may not find your ball. The bunkers are pretty bad. Very hard and retain water like a swimming pool. The fairways, on the other hand, are always trimmed nicely. The carts are great. The staff is very friendly. I don’t recommend this course at this time but it’s usually good in the fall and early spring.

I played this course several times during late spring and it was in great shape - the tee boxes and fairways are in great shape - the greens are terrible. Aeration was done but it’s taking some time for them to come back in - a lot of dirt patches on the greens. The course is playable but be aware the greens are not that great. I am sure this fall it will be back. I love the lay out very challenging course. The staff is great too.

Overall the course was in good playing condition. Several tee boxes were mostly crabgrass and the greens were slow and in need of improvement with bare spots and poor grass surface. The bunkers were mostly hard packed sand and needed to be raked prior to play on a given day. The course layout is very tight at places. The pace of play was slow with wait times on most tee boxes; no jarshallsvwere evident to help speed play.

Actually, a very nice course. Putting green condition needs some improvement on a number of holes. But not terrible. I plan to play this course more.

The starters are always courteous and professional. Well run course.
