Montgomery Bell State Park

Played this course 3 times before today, and it used to be pure. The greens some of the worst I’ve ever seen. It was very disappointing to see one of my favorite courses in this bad of shape. $60-$80 for the course right now is robbery.

I wanted to start off this review by telling everyone that I hit a 3 iron to 10 feet and drained an eagle on the 2nd hole. thx. The course was so burned out but the greens were in a decent condition, enough to make putts... the pace of play made me actually want to tickle my own taint right there in the cart. Jesus H, maybe if courses (especially ones owned by the deep state government and thus subsidzed) would make tee times farther than 10 minutes apart more people would enjoy golf and not just slap it around until the 18th... pace of play can ruin a good round, I still posted a nifty 79 though.

Good course, was in good shape for a little lack of rain. Greens rolled great. A few bad patches on fairways but did not effect play.

Montgomery Bell is half the price of Hermitage, Gaylord, and others. 2 of us hit balls and rode 18 for $120 total on a Sunday in late May '25. Greens were fast and true and fairways were mostly grass, which is incredible for the amount of oak trees and other acidic bushes hurting the quality of grass. The course is worth the drive, it's loaded with wildlife and native flowers. It's a beautiful drive through the woods with the opportunity to play golf.

Course was in good condition for a State Park/Municipal course. Greens were good fairways need some attention. Got done with the round in 4 hrs with is great for a Saturday tee time at 9:30 am. The staff was friendly and helpful

Good course Layout. Rough very dry from lack of rain but fairways greens and tees were in really good shap. Very friendly shop staff. Would play again if ever in that area

My Son In Laws and Son took me to play golf fro My Birthday on Sunday and unfortunately this was after 3 days of heavy rains from the left over hurricane that had been passing through from Florida a few days earlier. Course was very soggy and saturated which made it very difficult to play and of course the holes were cart path only due to the saturation. We made the best of it as it was still raining all round but honestly they should have closed the course for a multitude of reasons to protect its condition, protect the players experience but sadly they did not. This made for a less than ideal experience. Their ranger was also very grumpy and short with us which did not make it better/

I’ve played this course 15 times but will never again because the starter ruined the whole experience for an other wise solid course. I came up to the starter at 6:50 for my 7am tee time (checked in at the pro shop at 6:45) and he was incredibly rude.

He told me “Well I’m showing past 7 so your group is already almost done with hole 1”. After showing him 6:50 on my phone and his phone, I asked him if I should go ahead and tee off and he looked at me and said “no you should not have missed your tee time, it’s not my problem…”

I had to skip hole 1 to catch the group I was supposed to play with (who were incredibly kind and also very perplexed at the whole situation). Needless to say, I won’t be coming here anymore as long as that starter is there.

I hosted a friend who was in town to a round of golf. We were able to play 18 holes in three hours and 15 minutes. The course was in great shape and the staff could not have been friendlier. Overall we had an outstanding time.

Dried out, burned up. Maybe we'll try it again later this Fall.

I don't like to knock on State Park golf courses but this course has been very nice in the past. Not totally faulting the maintenance leaders as it has been very dry. But this course would be better suited shut down for a couple of months and let some mother nature do some healing. BARE are the tee boxes, very poor fairways and rock around all edges of fairway.

Greens were OK, good for them.

It is not worth paying any amount of money to play here right now.
