Piper Glen Golf Club

Golf now made this course surprisingly affordable. EXCELLENT VALUE for the money. Challenging!, but not unforgiving. Multiple tee locations for multiple skill levels. Definitely would play again.

Bent grass fairways were a pleasure to play. Water came into play enough to be nice challenge, and the greens were in excellent shape. Cart path only due to rain the day before, but that was no detraction. Yardage book was a plus, and came in handy. Could easily become my "go to course".

Course was still wet due to overnight rain. Played really long. Greens did not appear to have been mowed.

My brother and I chose Piper Glen since was within 2 hours of our home. Second time here first was in drought year 2012. Love the challaging greens. Course layout is very hard for 26 handicapper like me but I still loved it. For a nice club thought they would have restaruant qulity food but was just a snack bar for lunch.

I will proudly play here again.

Well first off I walk into the pro shop and no one is at the counter. The head pro was just walking in and had to mention to one of his employees that someone was at the desk. You would think someone would be there to greet you. Yardage books are free though! Course was in good shape. greens were a little beat up but it is mid summer and we have not had a lot of rain. 3 out of the 4 bunkers I was in were hard as a rock not raked and had no sand in them. That should not happen! Next my golf cart was in bad shape tires, were bald and the roof was ratteling the whole time I drove around, really annoying! So I played the front 9 at the turn I went into the bathroom an employee was at the bar no acknowledgement when I walk in and same when I walked out! Get to the tee and all of a sudden there are 2 groups in front of me out of know where. Now mind you that I am by myself and I just played the front 9 in under 1.5.
I pass 1 group on the 12 and the next group says they won't let me pass because there is nothing they could do. yes there is another group in front of them, but this is just common courtsey on the course! Of course there was no ranger on site! Took me 2.15 hrs to play the back 9, I was not a happy golfer.
So all in all they need to work on some customer service skill and get a ranger on duty and get some sand in the bunkers!!!!
One of th better courses in springfield though!

The only probably with the course was during our round there where sprinklers going and the yardage marker in number 8 was deceiving. Said 145 from blues, was more like 170

it was too long of a course and too challenging of a course for me but someone who has played for a few years would love the course. I would definitely say ride, even though I prefer to walk, because it is a very long course.

Very nice golf course. It is a highly challenging course so golfers should certainly remember that before teeing off. Conditions and facilities are top notch.

Recently played this course and it really has a lot of potential but does not come close to meeting it. To start the management team of the course is incredibly disrespectful. Repeated scheduling errors and miscommunications and downright harassment by the owner over a miscommunication between customers and employees. The course itself is where the potential lies. The layout is great but the condition leaves a lot to be desired. Crabgrass and dandelions have overtaken the course including fairways and tee boxes. Bunkers have no sand just hard packed dirt and rocks. The greens are the most troubling. Very beat up and many of the pin locations are placed in the middle of the steepest slope on the green. My playing partners and I commented that they needed a clowns face to put through since it took a circus putt to get it in the hole. Overall I would suggest this course if there is a discount but not at the $50 price.

This course has so much potential but does not meet it and falls behind other courses in the area. To start the management team at this course is some of the most unfriendly people I have come across. Repeated miscommunications by those scheduling and harassment by the owner. The course has a great lay out that has the makings of a fantastic place to play if it was kept up. Crabgrass and dandelions have overtaken the course including fairways and tee boxes. Bunkers with no sand or just hard packed dirt. The greens are the most troubling though. Many of the greens are not very well kept and at least a quarter of the pin locations were placed on the side of the steepest slope on the green. My playing partners and I felt as if they needed to put a clowns mouth in front of the hole since it took a circus putt to have a prayer at making it. Overall not a great experience would only suggest it at a discount not worth $50. Much better options in the area.

We drove over a 100 miles south in the spring of the year to play somewhere warm, the course was in good condition for the time of the year and would gladly go back and would really like to play it again in the peak of the season. The only downfall to playing here is that the pace of play was on the slow side there were several Juniors there that were walking.

Overall it was a good experience. The biggest negative was there was no hot food and sandwiches were 5 days old.

Interesting layout, nothing boring, great use the rolling countryside.

The course could be very nice. The fairways were in bad shape, especially on the front 9 and the pace of play is pretty slow. Never saw a marshall or drink cart and we played on a weekend. Had a father and 12 yr old in front of us that were waiting for the green to clear from 300 yds out. Greens are very challenging. Very fast and undulating. If they get the course in better shape it would be much better to play.

The course was in great shape from tees to green and not many golfers on the course.

My only gripe is lack of players who do not replace/repair fairway divots. Overall, a great golf experience with beautiful scenery, well maintained fairways and greens, and friendly staff!

I played this course about 6 years ago and it is in much better condition now. The greens are fast...super slick. Also, #8 has the tee block moved back 40 yards to 200ish yards over water to a tight green that is about 70 feet below tee level. I recommend this course!

I have played this course multiple times since it opened.. I love the layout and challenge of the course. Slope of the greens borders on down right unfair on some holes.. If the greens are fast you better hold on..

Condition of the course has been better but this is still a very good value for the cost and great challenge.

A bit surprised by the amount of rain water that was on the course after the pro shop said they hadn't had much rain. Standing water in many traps and some were nothing more that "mud pits". I'm sure when they dry out that they are well maintained and functional. A beautiful course with some wicked greens, I'll return when it dries up a bit. Charlie, Decatur

The course was in very good condition, but given the amount of rain this spring the ground was quite hard on the greens, fairways and tee boxes. The yardage in some fairways could have been marked better.
