Faldo Course in Great Shape

From tee to green, the Faldo course was in very good playing condition. The greens were a bit slow and some sand traps were wet. Apart from that, enjoyed the round, with a slow start with a twosome in front of us, but the marshal encouraged them to quicken their pace (less than 4 hour round for our threesome). Great value with GolfNow hot deal. Go before prices increase….

Well Kept, Challenging

The course was in great shape, especially for mid August. Challenging layout, great fairways, only downside was the greens were a bit hairy but still very well kept, im assuming left a bit longer due to how dry it is this time of year.

Worth the money

Nice course

The course is fun to play but does provide a challenge. The course overall is in very good condition especially for summertime . The greens are firm and roll as they should . Lots of long holes including a 600 plus yard par 5 . Nice course , we will be back

Price was good

Local golfers need a break when the snow birds come to town. We should get a good discount because we support the local courses all year not just when we visit for a weekend or holiday. Let’s start giving locals a discount ALL THE TIME!
