Good experience but little issues

Played the 9 hole course, the tees, fairways and greens were in great shape. There were a bunch of little annoying things though. There was no drinking water or ball washers on the course. Beverage cart came by at the first tee (10:00 AM) and we never saw it again. The cart paths are paved but very torn up and makes for a rough ride. Lastly, the 9 hole course is spread out and to return from the driving range or the 9th hole to clubhouse forces you to pass through oncoming players, pretty dangerous and I suspect pretty annoying to those playing those holes.

Need better signage and directions to all the holes

Very hard to tell what hole it is until you have to get out of your cart and walk closer to hole signs
Very small numbers and hard to read..
Otherwise Peter keeps improving things around the courses…When he finishes remodeling the restaurant it’s going to be great..the food is always top shelve

Great 9 hole however way too expensive

Prob my fav 9 hole and used to play it a ton. They made tons of improvements however new mgt charging $40 for a 9 hole is kind of ridiculous. Might as well jus play a 18 twilight anywhere else.

Little tricky.

Course lay out was a bit confusing. However there were plenty of staff available during play to help guide me. Wasn’t a fan of home #9, seemed a bit spongy on the approach so my shot wasn’t as crisp.

Otherwise, I’d play it again but not alone. Was tougher tracking my ball than I had anticipated.

Not worth your time or money

BEWARE!!! Place is a money grab!!! Green Garden has been my home course for multiple years. Staff was always decent but it has fallen off the edge. First, I must say that the high school cart kids and starters are the nicest people in the world but the ownership and driving range attendants are awful. Was at the chipping green before a tee time and was kicked off because I was “abusing the course” for not buying a small bucket of balls. I was already paying for a tee time so they are just trying to get me to buy more so I can use the “free” chipping green and putting green. People inside are not friendly at all and seem like they think the world is against them. Truly feel sorry for them. Tee times are overpriced and cart path is a mess. Potholes galore. Oh also. They love to cancel tee times booked online so make sure you check your emails for random cancellations :) I recommend spending your well earned money at Sanctuary, Cog Hill, Prairie Bluff or Heritage Bluffs

Great 9-hole course. Only complaint is that it is too far from the clubhouse to be walkable.
