Clustered Spires Golf Course

I play Clustered Spires typically 3-4 times a year...it's over an hour drive for me. It always seems to be in good condition, but this trip was different. The tee boxes were in terrible shape...long grass (if there was grass), definitely chewed up, and some boxes were just dirt and sand. Unfortunately, as well, some of the fairways had dirt spots in the fairway. The course just seemed less manicured than normal. Additionally, it took us almost 5 hours to play...we waited on every hole, every shot. All of this was unnecessary if they had just marshaled. There was at least one hole open two groups in front of us, and they should have been asked to pick up pace and close the gap. Instead, those of us behind had to grin and bear it...and wait! I really like this course, but driving over an hour to pay $78 for almost 5 hours on a less-than-pristine conditioned course doesn't sit well. I'll give Clustered Spires another try in 2025.

Not a lot of opportunities to lose a ball. I tend to lose a lot of balls

Staff was friendly. Course condition was good. Weather was perfect. Pace of play was terrible. Per the starter, they double-booked 2 time slots prior to ours. We got off 10 minutes late and it took more than 5 hours to complete our round with plenty of waiting on most holes.

Place is in great shape considering the temperatures weve had. Starter was awesome!! I mean AWESOME!!

I play with a handicap and all courses except this on have honored my request for a handicap flag. The staff at this course would not even honor my handicap tag. They insisted I show them a handicap card. They were rude and obnoxious. NO other course has treated me this rudely

I will never play here in the afternoon again. 3-some ... a 3-some ... were playing so slow that they ended up 3 holes behind the group in front of them at one point (they were teeing off #7 while the group in front of them were teeing off #9). They would take a ridiculous amount of practice swings on every shot, all playing from the same spot in the woods, falling behind with no real sense of urgency to keep up, not "ready golf". Not one marshal seen the entire round. I saw the cart girl 3 times & I even told her to tell someone in the clubhouse to come out to enforce pace of play. She even said "I've seen them no where but in the woods the entire round." Nothing was said until I was coming off #9. By that time, I was so infuriated that it no longer was fun for me, so I quit. I had to intentions of continuing to play that slow. Never again! Some of us don't have all afternoon & are trying to finish before dark.

Locked door to facility to “save the air conditioning.” Started watering halfway thru round and the smell of septic was overwhelming. Have a great course, but wouldn’t recommend simply based on the horrible smell of irrigation system And not allowing golfers inside facility because of the heat seems absolutely ridiculous, never seen that at any other course in 30 plus years

The nice price point and open fairways makes this a perfect course for an up and coming golfer like me.
