Springfield Golf Center

Dear Golf Now,

Our reservation for two golfers was handled perfectly. We did however bring a third player. Springfield Golf Center refused to extend the discounted offer we booked to our third player and required them to pay full price to join us.

I had tried to add one player on Golf Now's app without success. Disappointed in course management but GN was great! I'll use your app again but at a different course!

I have played this course before in the past and enjoyed it. Today I had a deal on golf now to play for $10 can't beat that. Walked into the pro shop at 1:15 for my 1:30 tee time and the grumpy old man tells me I can't even check in or get a cart until 1:30. At 1:30 I check in and proceed to the 1st tee where one man had just teed off. (They have no starter and rangers are rare). 50% of the tee boxs or greens had water gushing up from the sprinkler heads or puddles from the leaks on the greens. They did not warn us of this at the proshop. The greens have huge dead patches and are in terrible shape. This is by far the worst course in the area stay far away even for $10.

Friendly staff, good condition.

The course was not as easy and was a little more interesting then I expected. It has enough variety and challenges to make it a viable round of golf, that is if you are not a single handicapper who hits it 275.If that is the case then move on there is nothing to see here. If you can get the golf now deal that I (and 3 other cheapskates) got, it is worth the trouble. For those who are just beginning or are introducing friends or kids to the game, this course does have it share of force carries so bring extra balls. I'll be back anytime I can get the deal from Golf Now.

not in good condition, unfriendly staff, seemed to be annoyed that we booked thru golfnow

2nd time playing there..... It's a nice short course for beginners or for those like me who are "always trying to find their swing" Course was pretty much empty which made for great pace of play. Also, great price on golf now.... BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE PROBLEMS

1) It's advertised as 5800 from the blues.... And it's barely 5000.

2) The greens were just aerated and there was no mention of that on golfnow

3) The greens are going bad fast.... (I guess they aerated to try to save them, because most greens were pretty close to unplayable)

I played there 2 weeks ago and most of the greens were fine, It would make me concerned what they will look like in another 2 weeks.

OVERALL, I can't complain for the great deal I got on golf now, BUT I wanted to let people know what they are getting into it they go there.... WOULD NEVER PAY FULL PRICE.

Wouldn't recommend playing here to anyone. Don't forget to bring some sort of mallet or hammer in order to get tees in the ground. Greens were rock solid, and brown. Customer serice was awful, terrible course for the money overall. I could recommend 5 better courses for cheaper than this place.

There is always an issue when it comes to paying for the round here. GolfNow has offered several special deals at Springfield Golf Center, but the staff does not honor them. On several occasions I have reserved a tee time via GolfNow for a set price, only to be informed that the rate I booked it for is not what I will be charged. I wasted money on an online convenience fee and ended up being charged $10-20 more than what I booked online.

If the faculty can not honor the rates on GolfNow, they should not be on their site.

Overall this course is overpriced. I have been golfing there since I was a child and I will admit that the course conditions have improved, but a single round here is not worth the amount that they charge.

We still, and forever will,l refer to it as "The Farm".

Nice course basically but not many ball washers

there's spots on almost every green that have some kind of fungus and people don't repair their ball marks.

the course was very open and fairly easy. One or two interesting holes - water on some holes - few sand traps. the course was flat and short.

I payed much more to play course R, and quite frankly springfield was in better shape. And in all fairness the greens were aerated and we are coming off winter... The course is coming around nicely. Don't know if this time of the year I would have rated any public course any higher. Thank you.

small golf course however greens are challenging
pace of play not great

Another great round at Springfield. Went by myself and was paired up with 3 great guys. Couldnt have asked for better company. The course is in great shape. Will definitely be going back.

Tee boxes and greens were a mess. The greens were like putting in Iraq. No one fixes there divots.

This course is close to my home and why I play there often. It is also an easy course to play which match my skill level. There are some long par 5 and some nice par 3. All in all a good course for most levels.

Par 68 but plays like a full course, unless you routinely drive +250yds.
Not crowded, 8:30, Wednesday.
Had trouble finding the next hole twice...please just put up a few signs where appropriate.
Guys in front of us were super slow. Stopped to dicuss every stroke - every hole - every swing! No ranger around to monitor play. They used the restrooms at the turn so we got by them.
Fairways were well groomed but for shorter hitters like me, the grass <200yds out is cut longer. This penalizes guys like me if I don't "get all of it" off of the tee.
The rough was a little too long. We were loosing balls only a few feet in.
Only water on course. No other drinks or snacks.
Nice pace, once past the slow guys. finished in 2:40.
Others asked if I was going to play another round? Said they let you, if you paid standard price for first round. I didn't have time so cannot confirm this.
I'll be back.

I played this course because it was the cheapest rate I could find on Golfnow, found out that because it was a holiday could not pay walking rate and had to ride. Went from paying what I thought would be $50 to $90 for my son and I. Anyway, that's my only complaint. Staff was friendly and the course was in good shape, not as great as some of the corpses I'm use to in Cali, but good. Some of the greens were in rough shape and unlike Cali we don't have all the trees with leaves falling on the green. Shot an 83 so I was pleased for playing the course the first time.

I picked up an early morning 18 hole (w/ cart) Hot Deal Single player rate on GolfNow for under $20. I last played Springfield nearly ten years ago. Course conditions then were't so good. I thought I would try Springfield for this cheap rate after reading several, recent favorable reviews.

The course conditions were not ideal but this was not the fault of the course. It had rained all day the day before so many of the areas surrounding the greens and the greens themselves were still quite wet. The fairways were relatively dry and in decent condition. Most of the greens were in good/very good condition. Several greens require some extensive repair.

Springfield is not as long as most golf courses. One may only use a driver several times off the tee while using a 3 wood the other times. There are 6 par 3's vs. the typical 4 par 3's. Overall par is 68 vs. 72. The course is fairly wide which should appeal to the golfers who slice or hook their shots. Sand traps are a minimum and are maintained.

The best part of my round was the pace of play. I played with anothe single. We both had our own cart and played 18 holes in 2-1/2 hours. Incredible! I believe many people walk this course because the course is not long or hilly.

I highly recommend Springfield if you can get a cart rate for under $30 and a walking rate for under $20. The normal, weekday walking rate $25 while the weekend walking rate is $30. The cart fee is $15.

Springfield also has an very nice driving range, well manicured pitch-N-putt short course, and interesting miniature golf course.

Give Springfield a try!

Good cheap course. Teeboxes could use some work but overall a nice course. Will play again. Realitivly easy.
