Awesome Course
This was an incredible experience. I enjoyed the course and my wife enjoyed the scenic views of the woods and homes!!!! Unreal. I would play this course anytime!!
what a treat!
The course layout is challenging, many elevation changes, yet fair. Greens are difficult, very moundy, hard to read, quick, but rewarding. Can't say enough wonderful things about the staff. Our only problem was that on the back nine, it appeared a foursome started on 10, old coots, didn't much care if they held anybody up, apparently thought they owned the course themselves. This is our second time playing this course and loved it twice as much as we did the first time. Would highly recommend to golfers of every type. Look forward to playing it again next summer on vacation.
Alternate green holes /flags were confusing
Course was in excellent shape. First time playing the course I found it difficult to determine where to go with the cart between holes and where the actual "normal" green holes were located.
Summit uses various size putting holes to make it easier for people to putt and so when you look toward the green you see 3 different flags. It was not obvious on all holes on which side of the green you should drive your cart toward.
Course has a tremendous number of hills and the green (were in good shape) but penalized you for not landing in the center of the green. I had 5 balls that landed 5-10 feet onto the green only to roll all the way off - sometime back toward me other times off to the side. You should not be penalized for a good shot just because it's not a perfect shot. Green had a lot of break and if you were not in a perfect location you were probably going to 3 put - That is not fun.
I would play it again at a discount rate but not at the going rate - it's too much a "miniaturesque" golf course. A course to play if you don't care to score.
Young folks in the proshop and carts were OK but not very enthused about working that day.
Beautiful course
This was an awesome course! It was raining and cold most of the round but I didn't stop because I wanted to keep playing! Rolling hills and elevation drops are the greatest characteristics of this course! Pretty challenging greens as well, some are pretty big in size.
Mostly Good - some bad
Great terrain and course lay out- I don't know who John Robinson is but this a memorable golf course with some great holes and unlike The Legend has some room of the Tee and most of the holes are right in front of you.
The staff that was there was friendly and the restruant has very limited menu and was understaffed. The chili was good and so were the club sandwiches at the turn, but they took 15 minutes to make them
No beveridge cart on the course and no bag service afterwards
The greens are complex, have a lot of buried elephants and were hard and fast, so some pin placements were impossible to get close with chips and even sometime putts and a few were just flat ridiculous if you get on the wrong side.
My biggest complaint thoough were the bunkers. They are full of rocks! Big, small and tiny and many of the tiny ones end up on the green after people blast out and can knock your putts off line if you don't clean them all. Every bunker needs to be redone with USGA SAND
Average layout, but near perfect condition
Played here because we didn't want a crowded, difficult course for my wife to play. We were scheduled to be paired with two others, but the very nice starter got us off by ourselves, and we were able to play through two other groups.
First off, the day was perfect, and the course in near perfect conditions.....smooth, fast greens, perfect fairways, raked bunkers.
For guys, it is difficult to pick a tee to play. The white tees are over 6,500 yards, which is long for most players, while the silver tees are only 5,600. I picked the silver, and on the front nine it was difficult to pick a club and line off the tee.......dog legs at 160-200 yards, worry about hitting it too far, but could not see what was around the corner in most cases.....and then after hitting less than driver, you had a 150+ second shot. Front was tight and kind of confining, and flat. Back nice opened up a bit, and was more playable...more hills, prettier and more fun.
Overall an ok resort course for couples.
Terrific Course
Doesn't Play as long as yardage because of mostly elevated tees. Absolutely a beauty !!
totally enjoyed playing
We played this course on our 52nd wedding anniversary Aug. 12, 2017 and again Aug. 16,2017.
we thoroughly enjoyed both days. Everyone from check in to finish was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back. Good value for the money.
The course is Great. But the rain was horrible.
We would've loved to play 18 holes for which I paid for but wasn't able to due to rain. We played 9 holes & became very wet & hoping the rain would let up so we could play the final 9. The rain continued at a much more down pour then we started our golf game.
Lots of fun!
We played this course in a constant rain and had a great time! It had been raining for 24 hours before we played but course drained very well, we were able to drive carts everywhere, and geeens were excellent! Great Weiakopf layout and incredible views and topography! Play this course!
Great Course to Play
We loved playing this course, also wished that the weather was better. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to play around and between storms. We all agreed to play it again when the weather is better.
Overbooked & mediocre conditions
The course was way overbooked, at least 4 carts waiting on each tee box through the round. We played a 3 hour front nine and a 2 and a half hour back. Way too slow pace of play! Conditions were below average. The rough was patchy and weird grass conditions. Don't recommend playing over 20$ for 18.
Nice Challenging and Scenic Course
Conditions were great, pace of play excellent and certainly a gem of a course. Elevation changes in the course are significant so be prepared to use an extra club on many holes.
Fun course poor conditions
Fun course, poor conditions. The rough conditions were very disappointing, lots of dirt at patchy grass. Sand traps were full of rocks so avoid traps. Pace of play was slow and backed up. I wouldn't recommend paying over 25$ for 18.
Course has maintained grass
If you can't hit a draw, I would not recommend this course. A lot of dog leg lefts! Overall gorgeous course!
Good Round
Greens were fast, but true, and they held. Bunkers have a lot of rocks, and some are poorly designed so that the ball rolls down against the lip. It is a good idea not to hit into them.
