Needs to dry out!

We live in the area and play here a couple of times a month, usually. But bc fern hill in on the Clinton River floodplain, it suffered tremendous water damage with the excessive rain lately. Actually, I've never seen it in such bad shape. The water somewhat receded, but the grounds were wet, muddy, the rough was too long because I'm guessing the mowers would get stuck. And letting people drive all over the wet grounds just makes it worse. There really aren't any cart paths, so that doesn't help. We got a good deal on golf now, but it wasn't worth it, even if it was free. This course was in great shape in the spring, but is a mess now, hopefully will dry out and be repaired.

We were not able to play because the course was closed. Will the amount we paid to play be credited to my account?

Thanks,

Non-intimiding for some golf newbies!

After a couple of lessons and playing a few par 3s, we took our rookie golfer out for her first round of 18! We played scramble style to keep up with the pace of play, which was spot on since the tee boxes were stacked. We did have to dodge a couple of stray balls on the back 9, but given the tightness, it is to be expected. The bar staff was especially friendly and the food was amazing. Overall, it's a very relaxed place to take some golf newbies. We will be back!

Not open

When we arrived, the parking lot only had 5 cars in it. They were closed because of the wet conditions, so we didn't get to play.

Will the fee be a credit on my account?

Decent early solo

Went out for an early 18. I didn’t have anyone in front of me until the back 9 but it was a super quick round. Shorter course

Great time!

The course was in the best shape I ever remember it being. The fairways were well cut, the roughs were a challenge, and the greens were in nice shape. This was a great value on our Hot Deal!
