The course was in terrible shape, the fairways were mostly dirt/mud and non-existent. Paying $60 for that experience was shocking and not warranted. If the course is going to be that poorly maintained and in that bad of shape, the price should be reduced. Needless to say I was very disappointed and will be telling my golfing friends to avoid the course for that price.

Review of Twin Ponds Golf Course…read more We had a 12:04 tee time with my husband and two 16-year-olds who are just learning the game. Because the course was packed, we played best ball to keep things moving -- and still, we were waiting on walkers in front of us at every tee box. Mind you, we were playing from the reds. By the 4th hole, the group behind had caught up. I explained we were waiting on walkers, only to be told we should "take longer between groups" because my husband hits long. Ok, noted. On the 6th hole (a par 5), we had to wait at least ten minutes for two groups ahead of us to clear. When it was finally our turn, we played our best ball into the middle of the fairway -- just a short pitch to the green. As we were setting up to take our next shots (literally as the walkers in front of us stepped off the green), an older couple came flying up in a cart, shouting that we were "slowing the whole course down." When I tried to explain the obvious -- that we were waiting on the groups ahead -- the man cut me off with, "We are the owners." Instead of showing any courtesy or addressing the poor scheduling, they picked a fight with us -- in front of my kids. Here's the kicker: on the 8th tee, after being told we were holding everyone up, my husband teed off a little quicker than usual. He drove the ball onto the green in one -- nearly hitting the very group in front of us. Someone could have been hurt because we were now anxious and in a hurry. My take, Mr. and Mrs. Owner: Your course is one of the worst-kept around. You're cash-only, which feels more than a little questionable. In an area surrounded by golf courses, you'd think you'd treat paying customers better. If you don't want backups, manage your tee times instead of berating families who are actually following etiquette. And Mrs. Owner -- maybe check your lipstick before shouting at patrons, it was all over your teeth and cheeks. Bottom line: you ruined what should've been a fun round for my kids. We'll gladly play elsewhere.

Out of all the reviews for Sweet Water, I think Amy K's from 2020 is the best and most accurate…read more The course is a short 9 with two holes that have some length to them (4 & 7 - the two sub. 500 yard par 5s). There are also two short par 3s and two very drivable par 4s among the other offerings. As Amy mentioned, lots of bald spots all around on fairways and tee boxes and a few places where the grass is super thin to the point of almost being non-existent. The greens for it being late-fall, to me, were actually in better shape than I expected. Due to the size of the course and the topography, I wouldn't dream of using a cart. Why would you? It's short & flat. It terms of pricing, meh, it's a push. I could walk the same 9 here twice or I could walk the 18 at Butter Valley or Sawmill for a few bucks less. With that aside, if I lived in the area and was looking for a place to regularly hack out a round, I had limited time only for 9 or I was taking someone to play who was just starting out, I would probably be out here more often than not. www.golfsweetwater.com/golf/course www.golfsweetwater.com/golf/rates

Markley Grille was a real treat: homemade meatball sliders and fries were outstanding. Why eat a hot dog.....aye carumba ! Reading the reviews about ranger harassment was NOT the case. 9-minute tee time separation reminded me to keep our play brisk. The rangers DID make sure we had cool water on three occasions - even on the 17th hole. We fixed our ball marks and a few extras; raked the bunkers as well. One bunker was in bad shape; not sure why. My understanding is that the carts are tracked electronically. Any reminder to players about pace of play is not biased. One practice swing on the tee box will serve you well. The greens at BVGC are not that hard to read. No need to do that [stuff] seen on TV. To those players who had a less than positive experience: remember to do your part and enjoy golf as it was intended. The option is to play at a country club for obscene money - if they would have you as a member. Respectfully, CH

Although most people with celiac disease are aware of what they can and cannot eat, it's really nice to see a country club go the extra mile and make their gluten-free guests more comfortable when selecting a meal.
