Terrific Layout

The rolling terrain and unique hole layouts made for a great day. Sad that so much housing
Has been added - course had a much more secluded feel prior.

Date that you played Tillery Tradition shows as year 2023. Either you, or Golfadvisor staff may need to fix this ?

Great hidden gem

Love this course the layout and conditions are excellent. My issue Is with the players out here . Last few times I've played I've had to leave after 14 holes people have no idea what it is to let faster players play through. Hitting multiple tee shots while others are waiting is just rude

Management

Overall I do not have a single issue with the course. Great course. What I do have an issue with is the laziness of the staff in the clubhouse. I booked through golf now and arrived for my tee time to find out the course was closed due to a tournament. This is not the first time this has happened. Everytime it’s “golf nows fault”. Not sure how hard it is to hit a button that says “course closed”. Being 30 minutes from the course and spending $150 to “not play” is bs. Now I have to chase money from golf now. Yay!

Tranquility at Tillery

Every time I come to this golf course a smile comes across my face. The course has no house's on it and from tee to green is kept in great shape. There isn't a weed in the fairway and greens roll very true. The staff is very professional and treat me like a member. It is never crowded and pace of play is always great. I have seen deer and wild turkey while playing and even though it's thirty six miles from my house it's the best value and I will definitely be back.

Winter conditions

A wet layout today, cart path only. Not many golfers. Greens are still very good. Bunkers are well maintained. Hope to come back, but they said no more GolfNow after next week. Too bad.

Great course

First time playing here and for December this course was in amazing shape. I have never seen greens this green. I will be back. A little bit of distance for me to get here but it's worth the drive

Great day for late season round

Other than a few areas they struggled to grow grass (tee box/edge of fairway/etc), the course was in good shape for a mid-November round. We enjoyed ourselves and would come back.

Immaculate golf course

Not a blade of grass out of place. Perfect greens. PGA tournament conditions. Only issue was some of the pins were not in the areas that the card indicated. Even with that, still a 5!

Great course, friendly staff

Everything was perfect except there was no place to get something (drinks or hot dog, sandwich, etc,) before or at the turn. Seems the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and not even a snack cart available. The new owners have done a really great job with the course and practice areas but to skimp on closing the restaurant or not having a snack cart available one cannot understand. Regardless, don't miss playing this course , you won't be disappointed,
