Rough Conditions
To begin I’d like to say staff was friendly and the greens were in really good condition.
However- there were non existent cart paths, and the ones that were around it was like driving in the Baja 500. The cart we had from the 1970’s barely was able to handle the bumps on the paths and in the “fairways”. I by no means am a golfer who can hit the fairway every hole, but these fairways weren’t even fairways. The “rough” was just across the entire course. If you can’t hit the green on a par 5, then you’re shooting off hard/overgrown grass no matter how accurate your shot.
The tee boxes were also no in too great of shape. This is all fine if the course wasn’t so expensive, but $72 for two golfers on a Sunday when the conditions are in this sort of shape seems bit steep. A better price would’ve been $20/golfer… could understand the course conditions then. Also- if they could turn on a sprinkler at least once a week, it might help.
First time playing this course and I’m not sure why. I live less than 10 minutes away. What a little gem. Not long but tough layout. Bring plenty of balls! I’ll be back often.
Unmowed fairways, okay staff
Guy inside the pro shop was completely fine, lady who was closing was very pushy and in an obvious rush. We tee'd off at around 3pm, three of us. We had let two doubles and a single past us. Came around the turn right before 6 and the lady rode up to us in the fairway where we were told we were taking way too long and that she "wanted to go home". I get where she is coming from but that is terrible customer service. Instead of playing our own balls we opted to scramble and still she came up behind us once again on hole 17. On top of that she had the audacity to play behind us. If you're in a rush and want to go home why are you out playing golf behind us.
Not even mentioning the course conditions. The fairway you can barely tell is the fairway. The course was extremely bumpy on the cart. My back was rather sore after the ride in the cart which never happens to me. Ground also felt rock solid.
The hole design is frankly the only nice thing I have to say about the course. Very challenging but also can be easy to cut corners if you're an accurate shot.
Pretty course
This is a pretty course with character and challenge. I wish the fairways were not so rutted. Very bumpy as were a lot of the cart paths.
Great course
My son and I really enjoyed playing this course. The fairways were tight, the greens were just right and the scenery was great.
Older low price, greens in best condition in 30 years!
Have played here for over 30 years and for the end of a April the greens were in terrific shape Friday 4/29/22. For $16.99 each for 18 w cart a great value.
Pilgrims open 5/1 and in different league so to speak but 3-4 times the cost.
It’s nice to get out with the wife for $34 and certainly will force you to hit straight, very narrow fairways, average at best fairway conditions, and a mix of mid nineties design and close to 100 year old small greens.
Not for everyone, not a destination, but for a cheap local Dutchman good value
Long grass
Long grass and terrible pace of play. Super rough cart paths and rough carts
Fun but more then the booking from the site
It was fun but, after using Golfnow to book the round and the email saying one price it was a different price at the course. It ended up costing more for the round then what it was supposed to be.
Wayward shots are penalized on every hole.
This is not a long golf course so the bombers have no advantage over the shot makers. Hookers and slicers will find the trees on nearly every hole. Straight hitters will dominate. The greens are tiny and in excellent condition and roll true. It's a great course but expect to spend some time hunting for your ball!
Value for the $$ and time.
Greens were good. Tee boxes were okay. Fairways were rough. Some fairways seemed to be trimmed at different lengths. Challenging and tight fairways. Delightful to work on keeping the ball straight.
