Blue Sky fairways and greens are lush

Great round overall. Tees were way up, which was a surprise. Also, we got stuck behind a five some after the turn. I’ll be back but will be careful about starting time to try to avoid slow pace.

First time at Blue Sky

I thought the course was in okay shape (greens pretty good, fairways had a lot of unsanded divots, as did tee boxes). Pace was a little slow, but that might be because it was a holiday (MLK day). Layout was nice, but right beside an airfield, so while not terribly distracting, it was also not idyllic.

Golf-like experience

I did it again... Let’s blame the weather, timing, whatever? With my low expectations from my 1st experience, I felt more overall satisfied with the experience. But you know how some golf courses have kitchens and others have grab-n-go food? Well this place is neither of those two things. This is a restaurant with a golf course. This is not a golf course. Its mot well maintained and there are no golf course employees anywhere. There are restaurant employees, like the bartender who takes your money and gives you a cart key. There are multiple tee boxes and starting tees next to each other. It can get confusing with nobody keeping order. Very often an otherwise playable ball can be on the fairway of another home. 5 wood, 175 yards out, left it short dead center front of the green, then realized it was the wrong green....
Ohh well, still felt good! Enjoyed staying and dry and hitting balls, not quite golfing, but another option for a golf-like experience like TopGolf or putt-putt or something?

Below average course for the money.

The rates should be somewhere in the upper teens, for 32 dollars their are much nicer courses in the area. The bar cool, their driving range looks nice especially with the monitors, however, the course is in rough shape.

Pass on this course

To start with, there was no traditional clubhouse. It was like entering a busy restaurant with a bar and a wait to be seated sign. 15 min wait before a hostess directed me to the bar for another 5 min wait fir the bartender to acknowledge me. I informed him that it was my 1st time there and I asked if there was anything I needed to know? He replied, “It’s my 3rd day, I don’t know anything about golf”. No marshal anywhere and D-bags everywhere. I waited for 10 minutes at the tee box on the 5th hole waiting for a cart to move out of the fairway and when it did the tools driving the cart hit their balls back and returned to another fairway. They were not even playing that hole. Trash found in the woods and water hazards. Course was in terrible shape. It was a shame b/c the layout and location were not bad. Poorly run and the management should not be allowed to call it a golf course. A “golf-like” experience at best and shouldn’t cost more than $10 for 18 holes and a cart.

Ok

Needs to be a ranger to enforce etiquette when it comes to letting a two some play through a SLOW four some. No cart girl all day, 90 degrees out with NO water jugs either. Other than that, course was good.

Poor tee time management

Started groups too close together. Had to wait a minimum of five minutes between every shot. Should adjust tee times based on group sizes for pace of play.

Good enough to play again

Decent course for a decent price. Course was not very challenging, which was good for me. Navigating the course was a bit difficult, missing some signs and had to travel far to a few tee boxes. Staff was great. Greens were in rough shape, but will definitely will play here again once the greens come back.

Great course and best practice range around

I play Blue Sky 2-3 times a month and I have not been disappointed. The greens have a few bad spots on them but overall the course is in good shape. Wide open with few hazards. Good confidence builder course. I always play a good round here. Even if you are not good off the tee there is a good amount of forgiveness in this course.

Great day of golf

Course was under construction as they are improving the overall condition. Haven’t play here in years. Was a bit more crowded with older players stacked up and not allowing others to play through. Made for a long 18 holes. I would wait for the improvements to be done before recommending this to others. Staff was nice. I was a little put off by the amount of sand on each green. It made for some weird putting. Overall we still had a good time.
