Good shape for early in the season. Aerated greens almost fully recovered. Interesting layout.

Enjoyable 9-hole with great service

Played Shady Rest for the first time and enjoyed my overall experience. The staff at the clubhouse are are friendly and helpful. The overall course was well-maintained, though with a good amount of rain recently left some fairway sections on this moderately hilly course a bit saturated. An excellent value for an approachable 9-hole.

Kind of wet when I played. Winter golf, so let’s blame it on that. Challenging narrow fairways and small greens put your skills to the test. Hit it straight or you will easily end up on a fairway for the next hole. Affordable golf. Will play again.

Watch Out For Hole #2

This is a 9-hole course.

Pretty well maintained and you great to play when you don’t have a ton of time. You like can still use most of the clubs in your bag from the white tees.

The course is in a compact space and has a lot of elevation change for the space and yardage.

Get your money's worth

Tough course: fairways are ridiculously narrow; tees and greens are about 10 feet away from each other. 2nd hole has a downsloping hill starting dead center on the fairway so no chance to hit the fairway. Last hole you have to backtrack from from 8th hole so good luck not missing those tees.
