Henry Horton

This course has a lot of sentimental value for me since I played here when I was very young with my grandfather. I love this course. It’s very long greens are extremely big in a great shape.

It’s very often when you play, but you’ll see dear just sitting in the grass. The staff is very friendly. The pace of place is very good and the value is tremendous.

Course will not let singles play. They deserve a rating of ZERO. I was misled on the phone multiple times and they just don’t care.

Great Staff-Great Course

I recently started playing again after a long layoff. I went and played Horton a couple of times in the early fall. The course was in great shape. The greens are super fast and in great shape. One of the things I liked the most was the friendliness of the staff. I ended up buying a season pass because of all these factors. I’m bringing friends and family out to play as much as I can I just wish that they had a bag storage area available. Love the course and people.

Pace of play is awful

The staff will admonish you for getting off cart path but won’t keep pace of play moving along. Tee time was 12:20 and only got 17 in because the 3 groups ahead of us wouldn’t move along. They run you off the course around 4:30/4:40. This has happened TWICE now. Book a tee time before noon and be ready for a 5 hour round.

Stop play too early

Course was fine. My issue is they ran us off the course at 4:30 with plenty of light to play the last hole. Literally came to the 17th green and had us leave yet there was plenty of light to finish. No reason to shut down the course at 4:30. I’ve never had this happen in my life. Disappointing

Payed 43 dollars on this app to get there and find out "they aren't on the golf now app" and had to pay again. To top ot off think the cart washer stole my range finder I left on the cart. Don't recommend due to the staff

Nice shape

Even after 3 straight days of heavy rain, the course was in great shape. The greens were very quick. 2 groups in front of us played extremely slow causing us to have almost 4.5 hour round as a twosome.

Outstanding Greens

Quality and value is what I'm looking for and you'll get it here. I'm not exaggerating, but these are the best greens for a public course I've ever (playing for 57 years) played. Possibly the best greens, private or public. Fairways are slowly getting green after the winter (probably be real nice in 2-3 weeks or so). Will definitely be coming back, even though I'm 1.25 hours away. Overall grade : A-.

Great Course - Slowish Play

The course was fair and in great shape. The greens were lightning fast.

Only complaint is that there are no water jugs out on the course to get water. Nothing! There are a couple of water fountains but the water is luke warm at best.

They need to place huge water coolers filled with cold water out on the course.

Other than that everything was great.

Best Greens Around

I used to play Henry Horton growing up. The first time I played it was around 45 years ago. I hadn’t payed it since they changed over from bent grass to Bermuda 3 years ago. Unbelievable. I love the layout and depending on what tees you play from it is a great challenge. The greens are HUGE and can be a full club difference wherever the pin is placed. They are in perfect shape for so early in the season. They roll very true. Most of the holes are right in front of you and the par 3’s are generally long. Fun, fair course. Burgers are great also.
