Springdale First Time

Our first trip to Springdale was really really nice. There wasn’t many people there so we literally didn’t see hardly any golfers the entire time we played, which is how I like it. The downfall is that they did not have any food available as the restaurant was closed until February 12. There’s still a little bit of mud left over from the hurricane, which is completely understandable and easily to play around. Overall a great experience and I can’t wait to see it in the spring.

Spring over to Springdale Golf Course

Loved the golfing experience from start to finish! The only thing missing was the restaurant wasn't open as my group would have gone to the 19th hole...

The people that work there--from the golf staff to the maintenance personnel-- know what a good golf experience should be AND they provide it for you.

Springdale looks great

Played Springdale as a single on Friday Jan 31st. Course is in very good condition for January. Fairways are great, & tee boxes & greens are very good. Greens still had some top dressing on them, so they were a little slow, but they putted pretty true, and their large , mostly flat greens were a pleasure to putt. Course drains well, so all carts were allowed on almost every fairway. Well done grounds crew!

Single golfers not welcome!

Tons of open tee times, but NOT for you if you are a single golfer! Obviously these courses are making so much money that they can afford to exclude golfers because they are not in a group!

Fun and Challenging

The course is in the process of trying to improve water control issues around low lying areas on the course after the serious flooding that occurred from Hurricane Helene. All 18 holes were open and anyone can see the task at hand is a challenging one that will take time. But the clear goal is to make the chances of severe flooding on the course after heavy rain storms to be less likely. With all that said, the course is still in remarkably good condition for what it has been through. The scenery is spectacular, holes will challenge all parts of your game, and the restaurant / tavern is beautiful.

Springdale Recovery from Helene

After Hurricane Helene passed, the course was in good shape with ongoing repairs. Many creek crossings or low areas on the course still undergoing grooming, but crew has done a great job getting the back nine re-opened. Greens firm and fast, but too many players leave divots unrepaired. Fairways healthy, traps and tee boxes in good shape and rough groomed. Pro shop & course staff very friendly. Tavern was surprisingly closed on a Tuesday, so no opinion on off-course amenities.

Back 9 Closed

Due to impacts of Hurricane Helene, the back 9 is closed. That info is not currently disclosed on either GolfNow or TeeOff. The front 9 is in very good condition considering the severity of the hurricane.

VERY SLOW DAY

4h45m round does not make for a fun day. While Springdale is one of my favorite courses in the area, the pace of play was dreadful and not a ranger in site. Granted the “cart paths only” I’m sure was the culprit to a degree there were SEVERAL very slow groups out there that should have been prodded a bit.

Along with the cart paths only the range was closed as well. Both were peculiar to me since they were blaming both on the rain that happened 2 days prior. One would think that with the lack of rain prior to that and a course of this level (very nice) that at a minimum the course should be able to drain that amount of rain off. I would also like to receive some level of communication from the course informing of the conditions including the bumpy greens from the recent aeration.

Again, great course and I’ll be going back but I think there is opportunity for improvement.

Way nicer than expected

Come on a Tuesday for $69 for a round of 18 and a meal! Great conditions and well worth it compared to similarly priced courses with poor grass upkeep. Facilities were redone recently and it shows.
