Ehhh

Course was in ok shape with some issues on some holes. But for what they are charging $70 for a “weekend” rate, I would have thought it was in better shape than Walden (also trash).

Course has fallen apart over the years

I remember growing up in Columbia and fairway hills being in great shape. This is the first time I’ve played in a couple years and it has fallen apart. Tee boxes overgrown, most of the greens are in horrible shape and all the bunkers are just dirt. CA must just care about hobbits glen as this course I wouldn’t pay more than $50 to play.

First time and not the last time

Overall conditions were very good. A few bunkers needed some work and greens were still recovering from aeration. Tees and fairways are in great shape. Appreciate the water stations, especially the one at the clubhouse. Pace of play was great teed off at 11 on a thursday and done in just over 3 and a half hours. Staff was friendly and looking forward to a return visit when the greens are back to normal.

Fairway hills golf club

Great course. Fairways and greens were in great condition! The only con is that there isn’t really a good option for food and drinks along with no beverage cart driving around especially with it being very hot. The bunkers were all dug up so you cannot play out of them. Other than that this course is excellent! Staff was very friendly as well.

A good course at a great price.

I’ve played here a few times and it’s a solid course overall. Nothing too fancy, but it gets the job done well.

Tight Course

Course is tight and challenging. Little room for working the ball around, helps to be accurate with little errant shots left to right. Would enjoying the challenge of this course when playing better.

Hasn't gotten better.

Played this course in early Spring and it was bad.. Gave it a second chance and it was only slightly better. Greens were great but that's it. Tee areas were just dirt.. Fairways were fair at best. Cart paths were horrible. Spend a little more and go elsewhere.
