What golfers love
Golfers tell us that the golf course is a good one to walk, with a fair amount of hills that are not back-breaking. The greens, although not as fast as they are known to be, still rolled true. Some holes require local knowledge or GPS to play smart, with tricky approach shots to tiered greens. Golfers also enjoyed the friendly and helpful staff. The course offers a great value for the money, with fast and challenging greens and no water hazards to worry about. Golfers have had excellent experiences teaming up with other players and have had an overall great time playing. They appreciate the well-maintained course and the layout. However, there were some negative reviews about the course setup and conditions, with poorly maintained fairways and tee boxes under repair. Some golfers mentioned the difficulty of walking from their car to the first hole, while others mentioned frost delays and slower play due to leaf piles. Despite the minor complaints, golfers still find the course to be enjoyable and have been playing there for years. Overall, the reviews highlight the positive aspects of the course, such as the walking experience, friendly staff, fast greens, and overall value for the money.
Good to know
Golfers tell us that the Westwood golf course could use some improvement in certain areas. Firstly, some holes require local knowledge or GPS to play smart, which may cause issues for those unfamiliar with the course. Additionally, some tricky approach shots to tiered greens above or below you can also pose a challenge. Golfers have also pointed out that the pace of play has been historically poor, which continues to be an issue for some players. Furthermore, the course setup and conditions have received criticism. The greens were cut short and pins placed on ridges, making every putt roll back to your feet or past if it didn't go into the center cup. Many fairways were poorly maintained, and most tee boxes were under repair. Some players have also noted that the cart path only policy is rough when their walking ability is low, and they suggest installing drainage lines. Lastly, some players have expressed the need for an additional putting green or a place to work on their short game. Golfers feel that these areas require attention and improvement to enhance their overall experience at the Westwood golf course.
