Excellent Conditions for the amount of play OV receives

Solid 4 stars overall. Recommend highly. Well designed challenging track. Excellent value for seniors $39 during week.

OV always receives an extreme amount of play. Greens were in amazingly decent shape but really pocked marked with ball marks....sand traps were "maintained" and fairways while divot laced did have consistent good grass. Bathrooms mid-nine front and back as well as one after 9 (halfway house still closed near the driving range which was off grass this day).

We were really fortunate - an empty afternoon tee sheet allowed our 3-some to play at our own pace completing our round in well under 4 hours (320) which never happens here. I was pleasantly surprised at the course conditioning....much better than anticipated. Did not check to see if the showers/locker room is open in the basement.

Pace of play

I think this is becoming a common issue for almost all courses, particularly on the weekends. I don’t mind a couple delays during around but waiting on nearly every tee shot is getting old. I think it is time to get some Ranger’s, I mean Player’s Assistant’s back out on the courses to help those groups that are struggling to maintain a reasonable pace of play.

Beautiful track

There’s only one thing wrong with this course it’s 40 miles from my house. Played here on a beautiful day and the course was in great shape, really enjoyed the layout and staff were very friendly. Some greens were a little bumpy but I attribute that to people not fixing their ball marks, will be playing here again next month and I’m looking forward to playing it again- would highly recommend this course to all golfers!

All good, but need COVID awareness

Good course. No complaints.

But as I was single, they put me in a cart with another individual. When I asked if the person had had his Covid shots, the response was, we are not required to check. They were ready to let me walk, I can't walk, so this was all going south.

They could have done more for a customer. There were upwards of 15 carts sitting there!
