Bruce Hills Golf Club

Welcome to the wild west of golf courses. I've played here five times this season, and four out of those five times have been nothing short of a disaster. The course is completely overused and abused by leagues and outings. The tee boxes are in terrible shape, riddled with dirt holes and positioned as if they’re intentionally aimed at every hazard. The greens? They’re like concrete, making it clear they’ve never been aerated—say goodbye to your golf ball once it lands. Playing here on a Thursday? Forget it, it’s nearly impossible. There's zero golf etiquette and a golf round take at least 2 1/2 hours for 9 holes. It's clear rules are not set at this course as people were playing with their shirts off.

The management of this course is a nightmare. It’s as if the GM is determined to ensure you have a miserable experience. They opened up tee times right in the middle of four different leagues—that’s exactly what happened to me on a Tuesday. League members ran all over the staff here showing nothing but disrespect. On the weekend, there was no bartender after 4 pm and no cart girl after 3 pm, leaving the poor pro shop guy to juggle three jobs at once. Apparently, the staff is routinely sent home early every weekend leaving the course a ghost town ran by one pro shop guy.

This course has so much potential, but it's heartbreaking to see it being run into the ground by such poor management. Not worth the cheap price! Stay away at all costs!

Had a great round of golf with granddaughter ans soon to be husband. Staff was outstanding and very friendly. Food and drink selection was good. Course was in good condition and play was very good. Will definitely control play this course.

Easy online tee time web site. Extremely friendly staff. Course is amazingly challenging and well maintained. Play was a bit slow at times primarily due to golfers poor play. Food and drinks were reasonably priced. Looking forward to playing this course again.

Corse is in great shape if you don't mind waiting at every tee box.... wait times between holes was terrible.

Course was in fairly good condition. Fairways were great, greens had a lot of ball marks that were not repaired. The thing bringing this section down was the tee boxes. Some were mostly sand, locations were undulated, and most in disrepair. Hardly a flat grassy area to be found to tee it up.

Staff was fantastic though, and super friendly.

On Saturday, July 13, 2024, I booked a 2:24 pm Tee Time for 3 players (myself, my brother, and my nephew) and paid online. Visiting from Seattle, I was excited to treat my family to a round of golf. Unfortunately, our experience at Bruce Hills Golf Course turned into an absolute nightmare.

First, despite their requirement for reservations, the pro-shop employee allowed a single golfer without a reservation to play in front of us. The course was grossly overbooked, causing us to endure over two hours just to play 6.5 holes. By the time we reached hole 7, we were waiting over 20 minutes to tee off, only to see that the twosome ahead (one of whom was shirtless earlier) was still not on the green. This was the final straw, and we decided to quit in frustration.

As we drove back to the clubhouse, we saw a chaotic scene on holes 8 and 9: two foursomes waiting to tee off on hole 8, another foursome waiting on hole 9, and a twosome in the fairway. Shockingly, earlier in the day, we saw a sixsome playing ahead of us and a woman doing cartwheels in the fairway. This level of mismanagement and disregard for course etiquette is unacceptable.

When I approached the clubhouse employee to explain our dreadful experience and request a refund, I was met with a flat refusal due to their so-called "policy." I attempted to compromise by asking for a rain check for 3 rounds of 18 holes, but the employee stubbornly refused and only offered rain checks for 3 rounds of nine holes. He arrogantly claimed that on weekends, a round of 9 can take 2.5 to 3 hours and insisted that once a player touches the first tee box, no rain check for nine holes would be given.

This golf course is a disaster. The management is incompetent, the course is horrendously overbooked, and the staff is unhelpful and dismissive. I strongly advise anyone considering Bruce Hills Golf Course to avoid it at all costs. Save your money and sanity—this place is not worth the hassle.

My golf partner and I walked off the course after 9 holes. The pace of play was nearly 3 hours, which we felt for a short course with a low slope rating was borderline unacceptable. A ranger on the course stated that 6 hour weekend rounds are typical at Bruce hills. Not worth the $49 greens fees for that.

We started off quite happy. The guy at the counter was very nice. We offered to do only 9 holes (July 4th) but he insisted we continue with our 18…..We did 9 holes….all was great…We asked again if he wanted us to go so he could too…He said “No, Just enjoy”. By hole #12 he was on us like flies on s##….accusing us of driving on the green (NO WAY THAT HAPPENED)….Had a lacky follow us and him too.. By hole #14 my son drove into the water….pulled it back line of flight and hit another WITH A PENALTY….THIS GUY..On us like flies on sh## AGAIN. Says “he can’t do that”…. We Left…Dont like to be followed and felt like criminals…..Not worth the $$$$ .VERY DISAPPOINTING.. WILL NOT GOLF HERE AGAIN. LIKE EVER.
