Needs maintenance!

Throughout the years I’ve played Salem Hills and it was for the most part maintained very well. Yesterday(6-11-2020) was by far the worst conditions ever. If you like playing in rough two feet tall with “hay” strewing mis-hits and losing balls that should be found, you’d love this course. Like a “major” rough wise. Hopefully, maintenance will improve this summer!

Challenging but rewarding golf course

Great day spent at Salem Hills! They really reward you for being accurate off the tee. They are starting to let some heather/tall grass grow past the rough so if you spray the ball, good luck finding it. Greens rolled very well and was well worth the $37. Looking forward to going back

Slow and Confusing

The payment process was a bit strange. Had to call my credit card in while at the course, no big deal. We were partnered with people not from out household. Why have staggered tee times and then put me in a group with strangers? Then, again, like the last few times we were there, the pace was terrible. 2.5 hrs on the front, had to bail after waiting 25 minutes on 12 for one group of four and one group of 8. Doesn’t seem to matter what is going on, pace is slow. Course was good, staff fine. As long as I am not expecting to be anywhere after my round, no big deal.

Pleasantly Surprised

I moved to the area this year and drive by this place on my way home everyday. Finally got around to playing it early one morning with my Dad and Uncle. Was great value for the money, the workers inside were nice, grass tees on the range always a plus. Would def recommend.

Bring your putter

Salem Hills is a challenging course fairway game To undulating greens. The speed of the greens are excellent and controlling the putter is the key to playing around under 80. The course is very enjoyable to play and look forward to its challenges every time I play it.

first time

played from the white tees... the greens were guarded on each hole with strategically placed bunkers.... the greens were great to putt on and ran at a good pace... on the # 1 HDC hole you do need a good tee shot to have a shot at the green as it is a severe dog leg right … the course was a little soggy in places but this was due to all the rain we've been getting lately ….very nice course

Fore!

Decent course. Not too hard, but there are lots of trees that can be troublesome. Course is wide open and fun to play. Greens were quick and rolled well. I played with 1 ball and shot a 90 so that goes to show how hard it is to go O.B

Not what I expected

The course is absolutely beautiful, but the greens have been beaten up already and no one seems to care. They’ve been hit off if and huge divots left to be. The lace was great when we started, but because we set it as we were the only ones out there that early, by the time we got around (1 hour 10 minutes) we had to wait 25 minutes to go to the back nine and it being drastically over booked, it took 2 and 2/3’s hours to finish the back nine

Disrespectful staff.

We walked into the clubhouse 15 minutes before our tee time . Staff was slow to check us in, and we still got to the tee box ranger by 12:40. Ranger sent off a foursome and 2 sets of women that he seemed to be friends with... who had later tee times, while he made us wait. We nicely asked why he would do that, but he gave us slot of attitude and was swearing, and name calling, got right in our face. I was shocked at his demeanor. We decided to leave because of the unprofessionalism and disrespect we received for being paying customers. This was the most unprofessional and obnoxious display of management I’ve ever seen at a golf course. Take note that others in the past have also had problems with the extreme rudeness of the staff here. Will never play this course again.

Rain Rain Go Away.....

So sad to see the weather destroy one of the best west side tracks around. Before this year in terms of conditions, layout, greens quality, grounds maintenance and value this would be top 5 on my list. It makes me want to cry to see such a beautiful course suffer from the elements the way it has. The grounds crew have lost control. The rough is so wet it can't be mowed. The fairways are littered in crab grass. The greens look sick, slow and impossible to read. I pray the weather allows for a speedy recovery as I miss this course the way it used to be. Good luck Salem Hills.
