Overbooked

Unfortunately I do not recommend fern hill to golf at due to their scheduling of tee times. I’ve golfed here around 4 times this year with tee times throughout the morning/day. You wait every single hole because they overbook. It’s not the last time I golfed I actually left after 10 holes. Approx waiting time to tee off each hole around 15 minutes.

Other then that, the course isn’t bad..

Play with someone who knows the course

Fern hill is a really cool course, I enjoyed the views and the course conditions. I had a good time, but there were some holes that were nearly impossible to make sense of from the tee, same goes for approach shots. This course is probably MUCH better the second time around. If you are playing here for the first time I would recommend taking someone who knows the course well. Once you play here once or at least have someone who knows the course, it’s fantastic.

Prepare to wait on every shot

This course is okay in terms of condition and layout, but I've played this course a couple of times now and it's been the same thing both times. They just book as many tee times as possible. First time I played there it took 3 and a half hours for 3 of us to play 9. Today it took two of us almost 2 hours to play four holes. It wasn't worth the time so we just left.

The course was in good shape and the pace was amazing. I went early because it was a very hot day. I was able to complete 18 holes in less than 3 hours. It was a great practice round.

Decent greens bad fairways

$30 for 18 holes is to much for this course. The greens are decent but the fairways are in bad condition. The front 9 feels like they are all on top of eachother. 950 am tee time and there sprinklers are on and there also cutting the grass. I feel like that should be done earlier or later evening.

Poorly RUn Golf Course

I made an early T time of 730 AM on purpose. Fern Hill overbooked the time. It looked like a league was playing at 730AM. I asked to start on the back nine and they said it was closed for maintenance.

Poorly run facility. Don't play there unless you have 10 hours to kill.

Decent...but there are better.

I enjoy the course and the staff. Only real complaint about this track is the fairways are to close to each other. Any slice or hook and you are playing off of some one else's fairway. Other than that I like it for beginners because there are no sand traps

Paid for 18 holes, played only 9 after 3.5 hours! Finished the front 9 at 715-720pm. Tee time was 330pm! Club house closed at 5, so they didn't offer or allow anyone to go inside and get a rain check, which would've been nice. Very disappointed and not be going back.
