Joseph M. Bartholomew Golf Course

It was a great outing. The pace was good. One piece of advice watch out for the crows. They will come to you unattended cart and fly away with your snacks.

The course is in good shape. Medium speed greens. Fairways are nice. Not a lot of recent rain. The staff did help to circumvent the crowded first hole. They had a large group of 20+ golfers playing. Overall a beautiful day for golf.

Foursome in front of us were gambling, taking a long time on the green.
Some wanted flag in, some out, flag going in and out between puts.
A marshall came over to tell us not to drive behind the greens, we asked him if he could speed up the foursome in front of us, he looked in their direction then rode off.

I love this course with all the water foul. I love all the noise made by the birds. The staff is always nice. I come from Wisconsin generally this time of year so I always look forward to play here a couple of times when I am here.

So the course is actually fine, especially for the value of your teatime. However, do not use a card in the clubhouse. About two months back I used a card there in my last purchase was in the clubhouse, then my card was used for multiple online purchases worth hundreds of dollars. I didn’t think anything of it, although I was suspicious. I went back yesterday, and of course, late last night, my card was attempted for more fraud purchases in the middle of the night. They either have a scanning machine on the credit card or employees are using customers numbers. I called to speak with someone but was blown off & never received a call back. Be careful.

I just canceled because it’s literal 37° out. I would like my refund or atleast a rain check.

The bees knees! Definitely will come back soon. Highly recommend.

Really great course. Its in great shape and you cant beat the price. But.. the last time i played (July 16th) i was just starting the back 9 and the weather got bad and we were told the course would not be reopening for the day. This was booked through GolfNow and they told us we had to contact them for weather closures. I spoke with someone from GolfNow the following Tuesday and was told they have to contact the course first to confirm they did actually close due to weather and they would get back to me. Almost a month later, August 11th, I finally received a call from GolfNow saying the course reported no closures on the date i played. 1 star to the course for lying about closing and 1 star to GolfNow for letting it go a month. If they didnt do anything for naturally occurring events thats very okay i understand. But reporting you didnt close after we were asked to leave isnt cool.

Always consistent and good. They had a little problem and some of fish died . So it smelled a little. Don't let that stop you from playing here!
