Disappointed
Normally the course is in great shape. Figured it would be on a weekend. Fairways were very good.
Greens were disappointing as they weren’t cut and extremely slow. Not usually the case for this course
But for the $$$ high price , you’d expect greens to be at least cut.
Small unfair layout, not in great condition. Good greens.
The course has several holes where you can be in the fairway and also blocked out by trees. Not in a normal or strategic layout but in an unfair layout making the course less enjoyable. The rough was also so long and uneven that it took sometimes several minutes to find a ball that was just a few feet off the fairway.
The greens they keep in very nice shape and they are fast but more than half of all bunkers were no more than a bare spot of dirt.
Expecting a great course and one of ohios top public courses, this was a very large letdown. Multiple holes require woods, long, or even mid irons off the tee. The two people that played were a 2 and 12 handicap and scored decently, but neither of us found it to be a course we would like to play. I can’t imagine how slow pace gets when every group has to look for the balls in uncut rough, unmaintained bunkers, all while avoiding stepping in numerous holes and even a couple extremely large bee nests (huge mounds) that they know about but have not treated.
Stunning Course.One of the best in OH.
Played River/Maple early Sunday morning. Course was in decent condition. Love how the streams flow through each hole. It's a stunning course early in the day when there is a little mist in the valley. I had never play Maple before and really enjoyed the course as well. It's more open and less mature than Lake/River. My only criticism was that the bunkers look hard and appeared to have no sand in them. Luckily I didn't find any though.
Great course all around, greens could be faster
Only complaint is that the greens weren't rolled or cut that day. Cups looked a few days old. Greens were a little spongy and neede some love. Overall the course is great and I would come back. As far as public golf goes it's tough to beat it.
Early season mainenance problems...
Course layout has always been great. Greens were perfect, both firm & receptive as usual, but somewhat slower than expected (although they've never been overly fast, just moderately speedy at best). The rough was too tall for a public track this early in the season on a non-tournament day. If the course had been crowded pace-of-play would've slowed to a crawl with everyone looking for balls buried in the 3"-5" rough. EVERY bunker on the course was either mud or dirt...no sand, or rakes, or any sign of maintenance for quite some time....possibly dating back to the previous season or two. Hopefully these issues are the result of short-term / early-season staffing issues and not a sign of general, on-going decline. We'll find out the next time we play here in a few weeks...
Just needs attention, nice track, but really needs maintenance. And no starter or ranger help in moving golfers along. Far drive for not exceptional experience.
I don’t know..
So as most know, this was rated and on some websites, still rated the #1 Public course in Ohio.. Well as of 11/4, I have played on 7 different courses in the past two weeks and this was by FAR the worst one. I understand is almost off season BUT, the greens are HORRIBLE.. There are painted patches all over, and the tee boxes are moosh! (It hasn’t rained in over a week).
We weren’t allowed to go off the cart path, (if you walk off the cart path though, it’s a mooshy swamp in the rough) but if you hit the opposite side of the fairway it, you had to drop your partner off and then have them go sift through the millions of leaves all over this course.. So the pace was so slow! And there was 2 sum riding our butts the whole time (we were a 4 sum)
I just played valley of the eagles and it was MAGNIFICENT! There were workers making sure there wasn’t one darn leaf anywhere! Even the bunkers! At Fowler’s, I didn’t see one worker doing ANYTHING! Literally nothing.. if you’re playing in this nice weather we are having, I do NOT recommend.
BUT! I don’t know what this course it like in the summer! I hope ALOT better!
Basic
With all due respect to fowlers mill, it’s not what I imagined being the #1 public GC in Ohio. The quality of turf was impeccable besides the thread moss but it’s generally hard to get rid of. Layout didn’t blow me away. Good time no doubt, and love the par 5’s but everything in between was average. I came from playing Boulder creek thinking what could be better and I still believe Boulder had a better layout. (In my opinion)***
Challenging and beautiful
Greens were in rough shape surprisingly, but everything else exceeded my expectations of this course. An excellent challenge for the average golfer or a good course for the lower shooting golfers
NO HOT DOGS!
The only reason I didn’t a 5-star rating was because they didn’t have any hot dogs at the turn. Extremely disappointing! Beautiful golf course!
She’s seen better days but there’s hope for her still
Great layout and still a fun test of golf but a lot of the greens have some serious dead spots, they did their best to make most pins away from them but they couldn’t always win that fight with the state of the worst ones. They’re doing a lot on landscaping and repair and refilling on the bunkers and other serious landscaping around the course, especially on the creek that will probably play and look amazing next year.
hopefully they’ve just realized they’ve lost the greens for this year and are planning on heavily reseeding and doing whatever it takes on the greens for this fall and winter and try and revive them for next year. It has the potential to be great and you can tell they’re spending money to try and work on it so I’ll keep my hopes high for this Pete due gem in the future.
Course is in rough shape
Haven't played here in over 5 years and unfortunately it's gonna from a really nice course to a a pretty bad course especially for normal rates. I love the layout of the course but the greens are in very rough shape. Bunkers are being worked on which is good but that will be a long project I'm sure. Honestly in the current condition this course is barely worth the the price I paid $36 let alone their normal rates. Hope this course can make a comeback because I'd love to play here again but that won't happen until their greens and bunkers are in better shape
