Fun Time

Had a great day on the course yesterday! Pace of play was great except for a slight backup on the final 4 holes. Looking forward to to playing here again and will be back soon.

Twilight = Slow, Slow, Slow

Don't expect to get in 18 holes during twilight... No rangers or starters on the course. Course is nice but pace is slow.

Everything’s great, EXCEPT

Love playing here, been here a few times this summer. Everytime the staff is friendly in the pro shop and I love the course layout. However, the starter is always rude and unpleasant and truthfully I’m not sure why he’s still there. He’s always annoyed that he has to do his job. Other than that great course.

Started has a really poor attitude!

Course is nice but the staff is less than friendly (especially the starter that was extremely rude to me and then my playing partner). He does not seem to like his job very much!

Pro shop staff was much nicer, but the damage was already done.

Restaurant / concessions were closed at the turn during twilight, so stock up on beverages & food.

Course is in good condition but pace of play is quite slow so don't expect to get 18 in before sunset (probably a result of the starter hanging out at the bag drop treating people like a nuisance rather than paying customers).

Ground Crew Arrogant

The ground crew was extremely arrogant. I couldn't play a hole because one of the ground crew workers was watering the green grass and would not turn it off and let me play through. The back nine did not have flags at the holes. I ended up leaving after the 10th hole. I will not return.

If I did not run into those two problems, I would return. It's a nice course. If you like hills, you'll love the course. Just watch out for the ground staff.

We knew it would be slower because it was a holiday, but six hours was just too long. Not sure what, if anything they could have done different, but we AVERAGED 16 minutes from putting out before we teed off on the next hole

Spend your money elsewhere

Okay I know this is owned I believe the city of Troy but what an absolute dump. 85 degree day, get there and there is was cart to use. We take that and head to the tee. Meet two other foursome, no starter anywhere to be found. First of all, there is pure dead brown spot of dirt through the entire course, fairways/rough etc… absolutely joke. The green were destroyed by snow mold and you can tell there is no effort to fix this. Thus they ran pretty slow to the standards other courses in the area have. The pin positions today were brutal/ border line illegal, some of the green don’t have a flat putt, #1 for example. Moving on, the course layout is a joke, you drive all over all the place to get to tee boxes, sometimes going the route you just went to run into other golfer; #4 I believe and # 16
Just an absolute joke for 50.00 or 48.00, ain’t worth 35.00
