Overpriced Golf Course

Reasonable price when you can find deals. Golf leagues are not listed, so when you show for tee time ot may take you longer than normal. Course numbers are very hard to figure out with super hidden hole numbers.

Nice Place to Play

Enjoyed everything about this course. Fairways and greens in good shape, beautiful landscape. Know your distances because there are enough hazards to make your day a challenge. My only issue is that when I went into the ruff off the fairway the grass was pretty thick and very easy to lose balls. A number of times I knew where the ball landed but couldn't find it. Was the same for others in my foursome. Found some, lost others but I know where it landed. Maybe the grass was due for a mow but it wasn't very high, just thick so not really a quality or care issue. More of a heads up.

Nice course

Was pleasantly surprised by course conditions and course. Pace was slower than liked but pretty standard for Fridays these days.
Greens could have been faster but were about what I expect for public course. Only reason I could think of for some of the bad reviews is that it is priced like a top end public course and probably somewhat overpriced.

Really!

We have played Old Orchard many times over the years and it was always in great shape. Unfortunately, on this visit, the course conditions were horrendous, I can't believe they would keep a course in these conditions, especially for the dollar amount they charged, It was embarrassing. My group will never go there again. Thanks.

Slowest greens and fairways I have ever played

My experience was disappointing. I had heard good thing about the course and looking forward to playing it. After two holes I knew it was going to be a long day.
I have never experienced greens like this in my 40 years of playing golf. I don't know if a stimp meter would even register a 2.
The fairway was almost as bad. My friend commented he was concerned about a flyer lie from the middle of the fairway. The view from the tee box should have been my first clue as it is hard to distinguish the fairway from the rough on some holes.

I'll never gp back
