Great course.

I was invited to play a scramble here later this year. I've never been before, so thought I would go check it out. Some of the reviews had me worried, but now, I thank those people for lowering my expectations.

I had a great time and enjoyed the course. It was in great condition, and while its too far away for me to play often, I'm looking forward to going back again.

Quality has suffered

The course was in much better condition when ran by the teamsters. Greens and fairways need a lot of help. The rough is truly rough that isn't hardly cut.

Great shape

Course was in great shape for early in the season. It was a rainy/cloudy day so nobody on course with us for the most part. For the $16 a person on the hot deal this course was def worth it, great value.

We really enjoyed our round of golf!

Glenn and I golfed at Union Hills Golf Course for the first time on Sunday. We both enjoyed ourselves very much. The staff who welcomed us, were very friendly! We actuall hit it rich by playing on "Customer Appreciation Day!" Free food and beverages for the day :-) The course itself was very enjoyable, and challenging. There were some spots where it was rough around the edges...but overall, it offered beauty, challenges and a great round of golf. The greens were in great shape...the fairways in good shape...and most tee boxes were in good shape as well. Great scenery, beautiful weather and friendly customer service = a fabulous day!

First Time

Great Course for the area and value. Front nine was cart path only due to rain. Carts and cart paths need a lot of attention. Course was in excellant condition with a number of challenging holes especially the Par 3s. Normal play for myself and my partner are 3 - 31/2 hours.

the hills

Fairway width less than most courses but has grass good. Several fairways sloped. Greens have good grass for August and long but slow.

Challenging and lengthy course!

I liked the course. Greens were in good shape. I played in August and the fairways and tee boxes were dry.

surprise

playing on a Monday afternoon, as a twosome. started at 2:00. was moving along when all of a sudden, here comes all kinds of carts and golfers onto the back nine. It was league night and this week was back nine week. no one informed us of this and we should have been sent off the back to start. instead it became hit and wait 5 minutes to hit again. also, put some sand in the bunkers. number 17 is just dirt.

Pretty good round!

The cart path was horrible! I was like riding on a washboard. The greens and fairways were in good shape. They need to have personnel on golf course to keep it moving along. Had to skip 2 holes because some guy had their 3 year old out there hitting the ball and some guy jacking around by himself. Ending up going back and playing 2 other holes to complete the 18. Was a bit aggravating to say the least!
