Golfer Reviews
Great Course with Hot Deal
I was able to grab this course on a hot deal for give or take $50. Once at the course, it was cart path only which had i paid the $80+ price i would have been mad about but the course was in a good shape. A couple of holes needed irrigation repairs but the staff was friendly and i look forward to my next round in a couple of weeks.
Good redesign but staff attitudes lacking
Overall I was happy with my round at Eisenhower. The course was pretty much the same as before the redesign except two holes have been changed. Also there is no sand in the bunkers but they have created some berns around the greens and fairways so almost plays like a links style course. I would play again but my complaint is with the staff.
Upon check-in we got a cart and the starter was not very friendly but it was all right. However after going down to the range to hit some balls I parked my cart next to the putting green as I needed to switch it out. It hadn't been cleaned very good and there was sticky stuff all in the middle areas where you would keep your phone/range finder. At first I was willing to get some water from the snackshop just to rinse it out myself but that was an ordeal because they didn't give out water unless you bought something (we had bought a six pack when we were in there previously). The lady behind the counter was nice but asked another co-worker so I had to explain to her why I wanted it. Then she mentioned it to one of the golf shop guys so I had to explain to him as well. He suggested we switch out carts so he accompany me outside to help at which point he told the starter but then the starter started asking why to me again. Then once the starter was fine with it I proceeded to switch out our stuff on the carts while the two of them just watched me. Also when I was inside my buddy told me the starter was yelling down to the range to figure out who was parked next to the putting green which is right next to the pro shop / snackbar.....so can I not park there?!?
At any rate I enjoyed the course like I always have but when / if I go back if I experience that level of service again I will not be going back again. I know it's not a fancy country club / resort but I shouldn't have to explain to 4 different people the issue I had with my cart in order to justify why we needed another one.
The preserve review
Helped build the course, didn’t like that bunkers were removed. Shot high 70’s low 80’s before. Anything easy minus the front par 5 was removed. Greens are in rough condition but no shocker there. Cup placement was from down below, but I’m going to chalk that one up to karma. It’s not great, and cannot recommend paying full price. It’s worth a play when it’s discounted.
Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and will address these concerns.
Underwhelming
Played at 412pm on Sunday. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course layout was good and challenging. Fee was reduced to play after 4pm. That made it a good value. Would be reluctant to pay $80. Disappointed no water coolers on the course and no cart person. Very thirsty at end of round. I would need to plan better next time. Just wish I knew before we headed out to play.
Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and will address your concerns.
Woof
Play here fairly often and the course continues to disappoint. The fairways and tee boxes are a joke. Shouldn’t be charging $73 a round for weekend county rate. Superintendent fails to take responsibility for completely ruining hole #16
One of the best public courses in the area
Even after getting rid of all the bunkers, this course is still very challenging. Prepare to lose a few balls on the back 9 if you aren't hitting your drives straight. The grass hasn't seemed to come back in some spots after winter but the crew seems to be doing a great job working in those areas. Greens are firm, even right after watering. They putt true. Highly recommend playing here.
Solid course
I've played this course a few times, and this is by far the best their greens have been. In the past they were a little soft and slow, but right now they have them firm and rolling smooth. Not super fast, but definitely not slow. Probably about a 10.5. Fairways were a little spotty/bare in spots, but definitely playable. It's a really solid layout on a beautiful property. I don't love how much their greens fees have gone up in the last couple of years, but that's every course. Pace of play wasn't bad, about 4.5 hours on a perfect weather Sunday, so not too bad. Overall, great course and experience.
Worst condition
Poorest conditions I have seen since playing a course, and the still charged $65 and didn’t give a heads up before going out to play. Only the greens and rough were in good shape in my opinion. “Tee boxes” and “fairways” were awful.
Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
