Extremely wet course

Was not aware till my arrival that there would be no carts available although my wife did text me that the course had attempted to notify me at our home phone. Walked the course using their pull carts of which we got the last two although there were only a handful of other golfers

Wettest course ever

I had forgotten that this course is a swamp after any amount of regular rain. This course is best played during mid summer or a drought.

Really enjoy playing here

Always a fun round here. The course could use a little TLC. Tee boxes have seen better days and the fairways are starving for water. Overall this course is always a good time and a great value.

Good Value

Veterans Memorial is a pretty solid course, with potential.to be really good if the greens and tee boxes were better taken care of. Great layout and fast greens. The cart girl is suoer friendly, and the pace of play is good. I enjoy playing here, and i will be back..especially if a Hot Deal for $35 with cart pops up again.

Great course layout, some condition issues

I have always loved the layout of this course. Unfortunately some of the greens, particularly on the front 9, are not in the best shape.
Still a fun course with plenty of challenges.

This is an excellent club

I played Veterans memorial quite often. Is a very good, well mantain and reasonably priced golf course. Jim (who is the person in charge in the mornings) always takes care of the players and get certain that they can go out and have fun. Bunkers are really good, and so are the greens. Some of them are quite challenging, but hey, that's the nature of the game. A lot of veterans play there so, I get to say thank you for your service, quite often. Keep the good work guys!

Solid Public Course

Veteran’s Memorial is a solid public course with character. The staff is friendly on the phone and in the club house. This spring has been unseasonably dry which has resulted in a few dry greens but other than that the course is in good playing condition. Plus the price is very reasonable. I’m glad I found this course and I will continue to play there with my friends and family.
