Great golf
I’ve been playing butternut since it opened many years ago it’s my go to course the course is great it’s tight but extremely well taken care of I highly recommend it
My round at Butternut
Hadn't played the course in a while. Was sent off by myself and the foursome in front of me let me pass on the second hole. Didn't see anyone till the back nine and a couple let me pass on 14or 15. Took my time and even played 2balls on a couple of holes. Still finished in 21/2 hrs. Very enjoyable round.
Recovering course.
This course is fairly flat good for walking. It is recovering well, but still shows signs from the harsh winter, greens are spotty and some areas are rough. Overall a good course, tree lined and fun to play.
Great value. Spring golf conditions.
Good Spring time golf. A couple greens with bare spots. A few tees need more grass coverage. The cart paths need leveling. Great price for a good track. Have fun.
Do not recommend
We were playing the course as a foursome when we got hit onto by a dude behind us playing on the lady tees. He hit my foot and could have done a lot worse. We said it was okay and to stop but he continued to do it for the next two holes. One the 6 hole he hit it within 10 feet of my friend for the 3rd time and he kicked it 5 ft away because they were not respecting our space. We couldn’t go any faster because there was a foursome ahead of us. We then got alerted that we were kicked off the course because this man was the owner son. This entitled nepo baby kicked us off the course because he felt like hitting when we were on the fairway. We are just 15 year olds trying to have a good time golfing together and the owners rich son just scammed us out of 320 dollars. They are the ones with poor golf etiquette and we got kicked off the course for it.
Fun layout
This course is very tight. It has a few holes that are target golf and a few that require a great deal of length. The greens were in good shape for the most part considering we were playing the end of August. The fairways are right next to each other so there is always a chance of getting hit so head on a swivel. Carts are simple, no GPS, no sand. Beverage cart was around but not annoying. Overall it was a fun day and the course was in pretty good shape for the end of the summer.
Solid
Just like everyone says, you'll have a better time if you are able to keep the ball in play. I'll admit I got lucky with some good tree bounces, but if you get through around without hitting a tree at this course, you're doing something special. For a Monday afternoon Labor Day round, I thought the pace was great, the ranger was paying attention and the starters did a great job. Too bad the restaurant wasn't open when we were done, but the cart girl was terrific.
Good weather, nice course.
The course is in good shape, fairways and greens are good. Some holes are tight and some require carry but a good challenge and fun to play.
Tight But True
Narrow fairways but fabulous greens. Not a bad trade off but it can be frustrating for big hitters, unless they're very accurate.
Nice course, good conditions
Played here for the second time this month. Pace of play was good (Thursday afternoon), and course conditions were very good. Some courses are showing stress due to dry conditions but Butternut fairways and greens are in very good condition. Nice mix of easy and difficult holes, and a beautiful‘signature’ hole on #8 where you jave to carry about 160-180 over water off the white and blue tees. Nice mix of tee shots, not all of which require driver. No driving range but has a putting green. Nice clubhouse with food and drinks inside or outside.
It delivers
Look - it is a value course. Don’t be looking for more. The greens were excellent, if a tad slow. The fairways decent. Tee boxes a little torn up. They could do with seed/sand boxes by the tee where (some) golfers will patch their screw-ups. Also on the carts. The layout is … in need of an arborist. Too much grow-out from the trees lining the fairways. It was not designed to be that tight., Honestly, you just need a 3W no driver and you can reach just about anything in reg. The course is pretty short. Slicers will hate this course.
I just ran across this Review and had to comment. I know the owners and have known them since they were kids. I know the owner's father and knew his father, too.
There's no way this happened. If one of the Page's threw someone off the golf course, they deserved it. It's a family designed, built and owned golf course and there's no better golf family, than the Page's.
