5 Greens Under Repair

I went last week for the first time and had nothing but great things to say about the course. Today five of the greens were not in play due to maintenance. Another three greens had so much sand on them it was like putting in a bunker. At a minimum, staff should be warning players. Even better would signage at the hole noting that the hole is placed on the approach. Best would be all of the above and a discount on the greens fee.

Staff had one or two polite members but others were horrible

The women at the pro shop did not honor the price I paid for the round on GolfNow and instead just started getting extremely upset borderline tears.

Merrimack

Shot making course, a lot of contour. Good condition. Finding trouble on course is easy if you haven't played before.

Tight and beaten up

I’m not sure how this course rates 4 stars, it was in terrible shape with most of the fairway grass dead, plenty of bare dirt patches and beaten up tee boxes. The pace of play was atrocious, with up to 10 minute waits on every tee box. I left after 9 holes because of this combination of disappointments. Don’t plan on returning.

Good value. I’ll go again

Grounds were rough. To be expected with a hot dry summer during Covid. Definitely will go play again though. Can’t wait for the weather to break so the ground can recover.

Great time as always

Only reason for 4 stars is dead spots in a lot of the fairways... totally understandable in this drought! Absolutely love this place and will come back again and again

Rangers Don't monitor Pace of Play

I think this course used to be in much better condition but they seem to be watering the greens mid day and burning them out so there's a lot of improvement to be made there. The Rangers are obsessed with yelling at people riding the carts on the rough. When I asked them to ride out onto the course and monitor pace of play the ranger rode halfway up the fairway and turned around. There needs to be more attention paid on pace of play and less obsession with where carts are going.

First time playing here

Very nice course. Little expensive for the multiple

Par 3’s but it was nice. Offers great play for all

Levels. Can’t wait to go back when the clubhouse/bar is open. It looks very nice.
