Good value course

Course was in fair condition. Some of the tee boxes were very bare but the par 3 boxes were ok. Sand traps were in good condition and the greens were fair given that they are starting to grow back out. Hole placements were challenging.

Pleasantly surprised

Having read countless comments about the decline of this course in recent years (I hadn't played it in over a decade), my expectations coming in were rather tempered. However, I found the course to be quite respectable. The greens were a tad slow, but were fairly consistent and rolled nicely. The fairways, with exception of a few areas with drainage issues, were decent for this time of year. A few of the tee boxes could use some TLC, but overall it was an enjoyable round of golf. I'm sure I'll be back again sometime after the weather starts warming up.

Deserves a revisit

The course layout is excellent, and the signage is clear and well-placed. While nothing disappointed me, there were also no particularly surprising or exceptional elements. I made the reservation using TeeOff, which provided a great deal. Considering the price, it's definitely worth playing again.

Water Please

Greens are a 6 out of 10, Tee Boxes are a 3 out of 10.
The issue seems water, it is dry, dusty and hard. This makes the fairways and rough nice for the roll but other than that we need a little improvement. The value deal made it worth it though.

Better than reviews reflect

I’ve seen the poor overall reviews for this course, but noticed a lean toward more favorable reviews of late. Decided to finally give it a go. The course was fine. Occasionally ball lands in a bald spot on the edge of the fairway and I moved it a foot or two to some grass. Greens were above average for a course in this price range. This place shouldn’t have over 4 stars, but it shouldn’t have the same review as Southwyck either haha 3.5-4 star course for <$60. Will play again.

Solid Course

Staff was super friendly, excited to hear it was my first time at the course, fully went over the course layout and hazards. Fairways were actually pretty decent, definitely better than other courses since the freeze. Greens for the most part were in good shape, only about 3 holes that were in need of a bit of TLC. Just remember you’re in “Stink-adena,” nothing the course or the staff can do about, but it’s easy to get over. Definitely will be back, fun course to walk and good amount of water (not the “take your lunch money water” but the “that’ll be fun water”).

Good course

Good course little expensive for an average course but still would go again no problem. Good staff, sometimes you’ll wait for the people in front of you took 6 hours to play 18 way too slow but overall still good. Sometimes it’s slow sometimes it’s packed.

Stressing but fun day

Course allowed us to still play even though i mistakenly reserved for the wrong day. Very nice course layout. Tee boxes a little beat up, but fairway and greens were very good. Fast greens.

Slow play

The pace of play was great until we got in the back nine. It turns out there were two fivesomes that were holding up every group behind them.

Better than expected

Great course for the price. Greens were in great shape, fairways were good too. Some bad tee boxes but that was it. Very fun layout, scenic course in the woods, not many houses. Would definitely go back

Great little local course

While there are definitely improvements that can be made on this course but it is overall a great course for the money.

My only complaint is that the beverage and snack bar closes a little early.
