Poor quality, poor service, poor experience

Poor quality, poor service, poor experience with I don’t know I was very disappointed with my experience at the Scotts Hill golf club. The facility is unimpressive, to say the least. There were no snacks, dirty restrooms, and unkempt greens. Well, the greens were uncapped unimpressive and mediocre at best. Having said that, we were able to secure a teatime on one of the most beautiful days of the year. And the spectacular day alone would have in and of itself overshadowed the subpar quality of the course. Unfortunately, the service, was beyond unacceptable. There was a lack of professionalism, a dismissive attitude, and an overall sentiment that we were not welcome at the course. Having said that, I would warn any visitors from considering this golf course. 50 bucks for 9 holes with service was a disgrace. The person working needs to be taught that customer service is ideal to satisfy customers

Nice Little Local Courde

Nice 9 hole layout. Played in under two hours with a foursome. Course was in great condition for a local Muni. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a quick nine holes on a short but definitely challenging course.

Nice local course

Only 9 holes so you play through twice. A lot of hills, tough course to walk.

Great Course

This was the first time on this course. It is very hilly. They seem to be "under construction" on some parts of the course. However, it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed my time golfing. I had no idea this gold course existed, I am so happy I found it. I recommend to a friend.
