Golfer Reviews
need Marshalls
I really like the design of this course but pace of play is a problem. Starter does not pair up 2s off the first tee. So we had a group of 4, 2, 3, 2 in front of us and they sent us out as a 2. No Marshalls on the course watching pace of play. Got to 10th tee and 2 groups had yet to tee off so we called it a day. Staff was nice to give us a raincheck for 9 holes. 6th hole is also a complete mess. Anne arundel county needs more courses.
Once Was Good - Now Bad :-(
I used to play Eisenhower 3 times a month circa 2008. It's been that long since I have been there. I always loved the course and the layout. The greens always rolled at a great pace. Sadly, the conditions of the greens was the highlight for my recent round there, and they weren't even in that good of shape. The course appears to be suffering from poor management. All of the bunkers were unplayable and filled with dirt (not sand). Only a few were marked as unplayable. The tee boxes were playable. The fairways were horrific!! Some had more bare spots than grass. The areas under repair were clearly repaired poorly and stand no chance of recovering. The conditions were not nearly as disturbing as the lack of care taken to fix the conditions. It appears that current course management might be in over their heads and lack the knowledge to get the course turned in the right direction. It breaks my heart to write this because this was one of my favorite courses for so long.
Like us on facebook so you can get up to date information on our renovations. Greens, bunkers, irrigation, drainage, fairways...a lot of changes are coming.
seen better days
the course was burned out and in poor shape ... the fees were too high for what was provided ... the pace was v slow and there was no marshal to help us out .... saw the cart gal once .... on plus side there were no bugs ... will not be playing here again
The course was good.
I enjoy golfing here, however, going through GolfNow, you can't use your advantage card. Ugh. I could not get my 20% discount
HAPPY TO BE BACK
HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS COURSE IN A WHILE. COURSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. CHALLENGING WITHOUT BEING OVERLY DIFFICULT.
Great track with very good variety of holes
Eisenhower is a muni course that is a great track. Summer of 2014 has been mild and the course has benefited greatly. The greens are in good shape, although very slow in my opinion. The fairways on the back nine were in terrific shape. Can't speak to the front nine as I just had time to squeeze in 9 holes. Sand traps could use a little more sand, but were raked and in uniform condition. Staff is very accommodating and got me out quickly . The value is great for the $21 twilight fee and finished in just over two hours. Could have been quicker, but let a twosome in a cart play through on the par 3 13th hole. Note: the back nine has three par 3's, 4's and 5's.
Surprisingly good conditions
I played Eisenhower several times a few years back and remembered it being in not the best condition. It has certainly improved over what I remember. It's a great course for the casual golfer.
Very slow pace
I think that because it's so close to annapolis is the reason for it being so crowded.
Good layout with some tricky holes
Had not played here for a while but wanted a warmup round before the Wounded Warrior largest day of golf event, Overall course conditions were good though the greens were very slow. Course will give you who;e bag a workout
Nice layout, but...
This course is, like a lot of public courses, starving for a good maintenance budget -- or at least it would appear that way. The greens are okay, and not very fast, but the fairways are terrible. Lots of unfixed divots, and plenty of bare/uneven spots. Bunkers are simply atrocious, filled with dirt -- not sand -- and lots of small rocks.
Pace of play is Appalling
DONT play on the weekends unless you are extremely patient and have nothing to do afterwords. Played this past weekend and the pace of play was extremely slow...snails pace. I waited a good 5-10 minutes for every shot. At one point we were waiting at the tee box for the group in front to tee off and despite obviously noticing us sitting there 3 out of the 4 players hit two drives and non of them even made it to the womens tee box. Hackers paradise = slow play. I wont be coming back for a long time. Not to mention on the 6th hole they dont let you hit your second shot because they are trying to grow grass on part of the fairway.
Nice course but..
Eisenhower is a nice golf course with average greens and fairways. The "but" for me is that you're paired up with strangers who may or may not be the same skill level. Being a beginner myself, I don't like the added pressure of getting paired up with others I don't know.
Great value for money
Lovely course winding through the forest.
Very well manicured for the only 4 staff that were working including drinks cart, starter and cafe lady....
Overall, great course!!!!
Great Layout
This course is easy enough for new golfers but still challenging to those a little more experienced.
The course is in great shape even with a tough winter.
This is one of my favorite courses. The layout is fun but challenging. You will use every club in your bag. The greens are in good shape and moderately fast. You would be hard pressed to find a better course for the money!
fun course
Fun layout through the woods with elevation changes long par 3's and short par 5's its a great course when its not busy.
Right now its in the best shape I have seen it in the past few years. Walking rate is a good deal during the weekday. On weekends it can get really slow and is more annoying than its worth.
COURSE
Course was in decent condition but had a lot of ball divits as people seems to forget to repair them.
Greens Good; Fairways need help
This course is not very long but the Par 3's add an extra challenge due to their length. The fairways have many bare spots, except for a few holes. The wet summer has wreaked havoc on golf courses and this one is no exception. The greens were decent. A bit slow and squishy but decent. Some of the bunkers were beachy and some were hard. Not consistent...but you shouldn't be in there anyway right? Some of the staff were very friendly while others were not. When we got there, the starter and another attendant saw us carrying our bags but did not run over to grab them and put them on a cart. We expected that service but did not get it. At the counter, the one gentleman required that I show him my confirmation. As I was frantically searching for it, his supervisor came in and told the worker that it was not necessary. Cart "lady" was nice and made frequent trips around the course.
Very Long Course
We went on a day that had some rain earlier in the day so it was cart path only and we were not allowed to hit out of the bunker. Im not the best golfer so it caused some extra time to hunt my ball down a few times
Best shape in years
I usually play Eisenhower a few times a year being that it is so close to my house. I have to say that all the rain we have had has really done the course good. I have never seen the course so green or the greens so receptive. There were one or two spots that could have used some work and the drainage in certain lower areas wasn't great, but overall I enjoyed myself.
Thank you for the feedback and I apologize our pace of play was not up to your standards. Is there a chance you could provide me with the date and time you played? We are always looking into ways to improve the pace of play at Eisenhower that includes training and coaching of the course marshals and best practices for our guests. We hope to see you again this summer.
All the best.
