Greens were excellent.. the fairways not so much.. wonderful layout
Big Disappointment
As a civilian I was VERY disappointed in finding out that although GolfNow accepted my reservation on a two days notice; the Air Force insisted on 72 hours notice to do a background check on my wife and I. Why does Golf Now accept a reservation 1-4 days in advance when the course management - in this case the Air Force - requires 72 hours notice.
Please take AFB courses OFF Golf Now!!!
Very disappointing, and I'm out money to boot!
Course / Service
The attendant show up at the same time I did, 10:30am for a 11:30am t-time. He said he wasn't opening until 11:30 and was going to hit balls at driving range and let peopleoutat 12.. We had some freezing conditions Thursday and Friday and it was in the 50s by 10 am that day. Not sure who is the decision maker on opening the course but I am sure the greens were fine by probably 9am. Course needs some work. It may be lack of funding. Some fairways show drainage issues and cart paths need some repair. Greens need to be mowed.
MUST BE MILITARY TO PLAY!
I booked a tee time for my boyfriends birthday, drove all the way across town, to find out that you must be military to play as it is ON the base.
THIS SHOULD BE LISTED!!!! I want my money back lol!
Off to silver hills we go….
Course comments
Greens were excellent.. fairways were a little sketchy but the course has many excellent holes.. I’ll be back
Mediocre course
For a military base course, this one is pretty run down and not taken care of. Cart paths are broken up and in bad shape. Greens reminded me of a putt-putt golf game.
Decent rounds
I play here often. The only negative is that every once in a while you get groups of inexperienced players who aren’t well versed on course etiquette and won’t allow singles like me to play through. Not a big deal as I am able to go around, but keep that in mind when playing here
Great Value
This course is overall great minus the crab grass growing on the greens. This however didn’t affect putting to much in my opinion. I love this course due to the various elevation changes throughout which makes it a little more challenging. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic condition.
This course is in great shape. The chap in the pro shop was very friendly and helpful. Greens were perfect.
Great course great price
Overall course in great condition, couple of holes have water standing due to previous heavy rain - drainage was and is a problem on some holes.
Great value
Tee time was 11:20. Got there early and was able to start early. Pace if play was good.
Miss playing this course.
I haven't played this course in sometime. I enjoyed my time there and will be returning often. The greens and fairways are in great condition, better than I remembered from past years. Keep up the good work.
Nice course
Got to the clubhouse early for my tee time (getting visitor pass was quick). The man at the desk said it was OK to go Early. Hardly anyone on the course.. Fairways and greens were in great shape. I will. be back.
