wet wet wet

If you haven't played here lately you might want to wait until next season. There is a large amount of standing water to the point where they have moved the tee boxes because the landing area is under water. I am surprised that the course is even open right now. Because it is open, the carts have torn the course apart. This course needs to invest in a proper drainage system. If you are thinking of playing because of the cheap rate,don't wait until next season

Good course value

I wasn't playing well and almost walked off after 9.

The course offers enough challenge for the price.

You get what you pay for

I've golfed at Shadowbrooke plenty of times, so before I start describing my experience, I should let you know it's still worth playing if you find a rate around $15 (incl. cart)...but barely. The greens are like a shortly-cut fairway. You have to kill your putt to get it close to the hole. The worst thing was when I went on golfnow.com, it showed several tee times open for the next hour, so I figured it wasn't too busy...I was wrong. To say they double-booked tee times is an extreme understatement. They had groups of 5 and 6 all over the place, and it took me 20 min. to play the first hole. I always thought I would play any course for $15 (incl. cart), but the unfriendliness, unorganization, and poor conditions are making me think otherwise about this course.

Shadowbrook

I can say this is a nice course. I like the amount we paid. The only negatives are hole 11 or 12 was like walking on a bog and the sand traps weren't sand traps they were water hazards or mug traps. I don't think there was any sand in them.

Great value and well worth a little extra driving time

Great little course. Course was in great shape considering how much rain had come just gone through within the previous week. Only minor complaint was a group of four never offered our twosome the opportunity to play through which slowed us considerably especially on the back 9. That of course, is not the golf courses fault. The staff working this particular day were absolutely amazing!

Great/Fun layout and design

This course is a really fun course to play whether you are a beginner or play multiple times a week. It has the right amount of challenge but still lets you experience freedom off the tee and around greens. There aren't too many hazards, but it does get challenging back in the woods.

The owner is also very accommodating and wants to give you a great experience. If you are thinking about paying big bucks to play in the cities verses coming out and playing Shadowbrooke, come out to Shadowbrooke. It's the best deal for your money and the most fun.

Good deal for price

Small town course with a nice layout and can't beat their green fees! Friendly staff and worth the play but isn't a high end course in terms of maintenance or upkeep...but for the price is well worth the play!

Rough Day / Rough Course.

This is the 2nd time my son and I played the course. First time was last Summer for which we were both neutral as to our experience. Thought we would give it a try again this season and we are now unanimous with our decision that we will probably never go back. Granted, this is early season golf, but the overall condition of the course left us wondering if anyone really cares about keeping this place in business. The Greens feel like your are walking on a bog and play like shag carpeting. The rest of the course is rough at best with muddy/low land conditions everywhere. This course has real potential, but unless management decides to spend some time and money making the necessary improvements, this will survive only on local play with dirt cheap rounds leading the way. Pricing is what drove me to this course in the first place...getting what I paid for may drive me away.

Walked

First game outside this year

Played for the first time this year. Course was wet and there was still snow on some of the greens and a couple of the fairways. Still it was good for this early in the year. Plan to come back out there this year when the temps are warmer and the course will be in better.

horrible

This is the worst golf course I have been at all year when we got there the sprinklers were on at 12 o'clock we had to play through them there was about a quarter inch of water on some of the greens. I do not recommend this course to anybody there are much better courses 20 minutes away.

Great Value

This course offers wide open fairways and rewards the straight ball hitters. Played my round in just under three hours (as a single). Has a few challenging holes and was a pleasure to play.

Don't play from the tips

Greens were the slowest I have ever played on but in good shape.
The blue tee boxes were as long as the rough. Don't think I would go back unless it was free or under 20?buck...
