Lakeside/Pines at Blue Hill Golf Course

We enjoyed playing Blue Hills GC. We played the Woods and Lake.courses

Pros: friendly staff. We got right out as a threesome

Easy course to follow and shot a 96

Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape for this time of year

Castle Clubhouse pub was nice. Happy hour $5.00 draft beers. Hamburger platter was good

Cons:

No drinking water on the course. The heat index temp was over 100 degrees. There was however a cart girl we saw a few times.

Slow play for mid week in the heat. 4.30 hours

Greens were just aerated on the Lake nines.

The aeration schedule should have been noted on GN before we signed up

A lot off divots on the greens. Players were not repairing their divots for the most part.

Cart GPS screen was not working.

We would play it again.

HONEST REVIEW

-The course conditions were very good.

- Pace of play was average. 4:45 pace

-There were no water jugs anywhere to be found on the course near any tee boxes. I expect a course to provide complimentary water every 6 holes or so to golfers.

- For a course that promotes walking it is not very walker friendly for those with push carts. There are very large cart path curbs everywhere which made it very difficult and annoying to maneuver my electric push cart around the course as I was constantly having to avoid these curbs which resulted in a lot of extra walking. There need to be more curb cutouts for walkers with push carts, especially near the tee boxes, which will allow better access around the course, while still prevent riding carts from going where they aren't supposed to be.

Neighboring holes are right next to you. Blind tee shots create situations where group behind you might hit into you without realizing you are still on hole and in fairway.

Quickly lose balls off fairway and creates a slow pace of play

The course is really nice, but the greens were filed with divots. This is not a cheap course and a bit disappointing that the greens were in such bad shape.

The course is not long but play long. Tee box, fairway, and greens are all well maintained.

The trees are very dense. Hitting into wood is difficult to get out. Stay on fairway is best strategy

It's an awesome course. We love playing there. Everyone that works there is great

Course was in great shape. Easy to find the balls. Greens well kept. The 2 guys in the shop were very friendly. The starter was amazing and the cart girls came by frequently.

Arrived about 20 minutes early for our tee time, as you respectfully should, only to wait till a half hour passed our scheduled tee time to start as we were instructed to wait for the other members in our respected group. The other twosome called in and said they were running 5 minutes late and ended up arriving way passed that. The twosome that was with my buddy and I ended up leaving halfway through because of the pace of play so our round of 18 ended up taking around 5 and a half hours.If it wasn’t for the friendly staff worker at the first tee box, I probably would’ve been more frustrated and complained more severely.

Blue Hill is a traditional course with tree lined fairways and many slopes. Greens have lots of undulation as well. Courses like this are enjoyable especially for players wild off the tee where here you will usually find your ball on most errant shots. Always fun playing Blue Hill even though it’s not very long.
