Always a pleasure

Course is in excellent condition, greens are firm. Pace of play is fast. Construction on néw clubhouse facilities has you teeing off from where a good tee shot would land on 10. Currently you can’t get a beverage mid-round so factor that in your planning. Enjoy.

Good Golf Course

Nice variety of holes and a good layout. It will be great when the clubhouse is done. This is a good test of golf and I recommend playing here if you are in the area.

Upgrades in process

My wife and I have played and stayed at Springdale many times over the last 20 years, and we have always felt it was a special place. Several years ago, the conditions began to deteriorate, and we were delighted to learn a couple of years ago that it was purchased by a new owner with plans to restore and improve. There is no doubt that much money and attention have been dedicated to that mission, and it was very enjoyable to play it today. I will be anxious to see all the construction of new buildings completed and additional touches added to a great layout.

Our only complaint today was that we arrived at 11:20 for a noon tee time and discovered that due to complete demolition of all existing buildings in the area of restaurant, pro shop, reception,etc, there was no food available except crackers, candy, and chips. If we had known, we could have easily bought sandwiches on our way, but it was too late to go back to the nearest food venue. We survived on junk food and had a great day, but it would be nice to give out this information beforehand.

Don’t let the drive in deter you

This course is under new management and they are building a new clubhouse which is going to be beautiful because of the view. You drive in and don’t see this, just a small trailer where the GM works out of. The first few holes were straight forward but the more you play, the harder it gets. Beautiful mountain homes on the back and a very challenging side! I look forward to playing it again. The only downside was the uneven spotty fairways but I think all the mountain courses are dealing with that because of the spring.

Getting better each month

Springdale GC is a joy to play; period. The new owners are going all out to really enhance the golf experience, and they're building new clubhouse, restaurant & fitness facility to complete a fabulous destination oasis, in the shadow of Cold Mountain. Greens are large and firm, but only have subtle undulations to help accomplish that long putt birdie. The scorecard has added a "Hybrid" set of tees, that make the really tough "Springdale Spasm" holes, a lot more realistic to conquer. Well done! New sand & added sod around greens all add to the enjoyment of playing this course. Plus a rare driving range to warm up; all adds up to me playing this course again, as soon as possible!

A Gem of a Course!

The greens and entire course are in great shape. The staff are friendly (including some staff previously from Pinehurst). We were on vacation in the area and played the course twice. We will play it again in the future.
