Salem Hills

This is a nice course as layout is good. Well kept and staff is very friendly. Range is also there which is good for warmup. Not a whole lot of water but that is fine. Handicap hole number 1 is really beautiful and you can ring a bell there which is unique. Price is always very good. Value for money. I will play there again.

Great!

I know the course just switched owners but I loved the course and will definitely be back. Bunkers were water logged but over all really nice course and pure greens.

I should have played on a fine day

The course layout was very good for me, but the day was after a heavy rain. I want to play on a fine day…

Fastest greens ever!

They were rolling true and they haven’t been aerated yet so it was perfect.

Hazard of a Single Player

Salem Hills is a good course and it was in good condition. Greens were perfect. My issue is how a lone player is treated. I purchased a tee time at 9:28 am for a single player. If that time had not been available I would have gone somewhere else. As the tee time approached the starter left me and talked to three guys queued to go to the tee. Suddenly, another guys walks up and joins them. The starter talks to them for awhile and then comes up to me and says “You’re going to have to go by yourself. They reserved as a threesome but a fourth showed up.” I was not pleased as the course was filled with foursomes. This is the third time this has happened to me and it is an issue that needs to be addressed. I understand that it is easier to tell the single to play alone but it is not really fair. As I said, if I thought I was going to play by myself, I would have gone to a different course. I cannot give a good rating to this course because of this.

Great

I’ve heard for a while that it’s a nice course, but never played it until today. Played the back 9 before a league, so no one was in front of me. Fun layout and beautiful scenery, big and tough greens. It’s the type of course that I’d like to play over and over for years to come.

Fair course for women

This is the second time this summer that I have played here. It's a fair course for women. There aren't really any tricked up holes, which is nice. The ladies' tee boxes could be more level, though.

Pace of play

Wasnt too thrilled with some guy with his wife and kid being very rude calling the clubhouse cause my group was apparently going slow even though we weren’t, he was going fast and very impatient which in turn made me feep rushed and threw off my rhythm, may not come back because of that, didnt spend 40 bucks to get treated like crap all he had to do was talk to us but nope had to act like a baby calling on us
