Patriots Glen Golf Club

Played with someone who plays there all the time. I like the courses layout. The are doing some work which I respect. Greens looked good and rolled a lil slow but I’ll take that. Overall it’s not bad. I will be coming back.

12:50 tee time, Fridy, 9/16. My wife went to pick up cart and Pro Shop person did not allow her to get cart - she had denim shorts on. My wife then told us and went home to change.
My wife and (along with friends) I have played Patriots for nearly 20 years and have NEVER faced this. Her shorts were hemmed perfectly, not worn or tattered, and not even a denim, material - just looked like it. That alone ruined what was going to be a good day of golf.
I completely understand "rules" but in looking at the others playing in front of us ???. Camouflage shorts worn down nearly past his posterior. That was acceptable?? \
I also understand Patriots has a new owner and his attempts to upgrade the course are appreciated - the grounds are improving - will take time but good progress.
The attendant who told my wife was dressed in somewhat "not approved for golf" attire.
The positive note there was Mark - he was professional, caring, and made a simple suggestion - when the attire is not appropriate, let the person know so the next round would be in accordance with the "rules" He represented you as owner exceptionally well and understood the term Customer Service. If we ever decide to return to Patriots, it will be because of him.
Golf in the region is competitive. The one factor that will define a course is the customer experience and customer service. Mrk exemplified the customer service.
It is unfortunate that this occurred and was so avoidable.
From a managerial standpoint I would recommend thinking of the process and how one simple step, a warning if you will, could have completely changed the day for all of us.

Patriots Glen has bad fairways and greens, worst shape I have seen the course ever.

Very nice track, a good mix of dogleg and blind tee shots along with right in front of you holes. Bunkering is not over done, but provides good pin protection on the par 3's

While being there, there were a lot of issues with the greens, fairways, and tee boxes. Everything was super patchy and the greens had many divots in it. For 30 dollars I am thoroughly disappointed and cannot think of a worse way to start my weekend.

First and last time playing there.

Paid 32.00 - honestly, worth maybe 10-15 bucks tops.

WHY?

Fairways were weed ridden - and uncut

Greens were in terrible condition - no consistency - lots of dark bare spots. You had to crush your putt to get to the hole - they were that slow.

It’s obvious the course is mismanaged- too bad, the layout was nice to the eye - they could have a gem………..

The good:
The layout is very interesting with some straight forward holes with tricky bunker placement and short to mid length risk/reward par 4's. I enjoyed the par 3 layouts with big green undulations. A few water holes broke up the tree lined course well and made for some dramatic tee shots.

The bad:
The greens were some of the worst greens I have seen. Some were shaggy, others had large patches of no grass. I was a bit shocked at the conditions. Some holes were in ok shape, but others barely had any fairway and just patchy grass and a ton of crabgrass.

Even with the bad conditions, I would play here again since I enjoyed the layout, the price was decent ($45 compared to the typical $75 closer to me). Grass can be improved upon so I won't give up on this course yet. I hope to see more recourses spent on the course now that the club house and amenities have been upgraded.

One of my favorite courses... Superintendent has officially lost these green... playable..but zero quality of roll ..

Slow greens! Tight in some spots. Hope they continue to improve. I want it to stick around!

First time playing this course the layout is very cool and some of the greens were wet I would recommend more draining set ups and sanding of the greens to improve the muddy greens. I played one of the best rounds of my life with 4 birdies and did very well so I had a great time

The course is reverting to its old ways. The old number 6 hole is on the edge of looking bad, again. Greens are really in need of closure. Some of these holes need to be shut down until they can be playable. Rough is too high when you have greens that are so beat up. Fairways are getting burned.

The course is in excellent condition and the layout is great. Only complaint is the speed of the greens. Slow is an understatement.
