I can't rate the golf, but I can rate the food which was very poor. We were here for a wedding. The appetizers were all frozen then deep fried items. The prime rib was too tough to chew. The caprese salad was very nice.
Played here afternoon 7/31/13, midweek and play was still very slow, can usually move quickly through front nine, but back gets very slow. The course is a nice layout and usually in good shape. Greens were very dry and firm. Fairways were in good shape. I feel the course is not worth the premium price they ask on Fridays and weekends. The halfway house closes early sometimes and there are times the water coolers are not refilled in the late afternoon. I would play the course more often if the pace of play would improve, possibly the 8 minute tee time intervals need to be revised to 10 minutes.
Overpriced and horribly slow. A tight condo type course. Basically, a florida condo course w/o water, a bunch of hills, and a lot of blind shots. I have to admit that I only saw the front nine because after 3.5 hours we called it quits. When I spoke to the manager he said" that is our normal playing time here". I asked him if he thought he should stagger the tee times better he said " no, that is the way we do it" I am a 6 handicap, and trust me you will not see me here again. I only mention the handicap so you know I wasn't slow on my own behalf
I love everything about this majestic place. It is serene and peaceful. I thought the prices were very fair! The mansion is stunning and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Great layout, awful service. Do they even have a manager there?
Played golf for the first time at Mansion Ridge on Aug. 28, 2010. Originally scheduled to play Centennial Golf Club but received a warning via e-mail that the greens were recently aerated. The Mansion Ridge Experience• Cart path only. Had to carry 3 clubs up and down hills to each shot • Plugged golf balls – lost appx. 10 balls – appx 5 were in the fairways.• Very poor yardage markings.• Aerated greens – any putt within 1 club length of the hole was good.• Expressed dissatisfaction with these conditions and the fact that no notice was given concerning same – to the pro shop. Given a pass for $45 each for any Monday thru Thursday (useless to us) – should have been given a refund of the $130 each ($270 total).• Group behind us expressed anger at the conditions and also complained to the pro shop
Challenging course that is maintained in average condition but way over priced for market and conditions.
I played this course for the first time on September 4th and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Service/reception: Excellent. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is very low key...small pro shop, no attitude, helpful and welcoming. I arrived as a single and they were fine letting me play on my own or trying to pair me up with someone else...my choice.Course layout: The routing of the holes is very good and takes advantage of the terrain to make it part of the challenge. There are a a couple of blind carries, some elevated tees with nice views, and nice mounding along the fairways to help keep the ball in play. Almost every green can be played as a run-up shot if you leave your approach in the right place...or you can challenge the pins over bunkers and hazards.Condition: Overall, excellent. The greens had been aerated relatively recently and there was still a little evidence of that, but they putted very nicely nonetheless. The fairway turf is very nice and made hitting crisp iron shots a pleasure. Bunkers have nice sand (although one I found myself in was pretty crusty).Odds & Ends: This is cart golf, but it was 90 degrees to the ball and not a problem. Because of the distance between some holes it is not a practical walking course. And the carts are quiet and have excellent speed! The halfway house is actually at the 11th hole, but it was quick to get a bite and the hot dog was grilled, not steamed.Value: I paid $79 for a mid-week round and found that to be a fair price for what I got. I'll certainly play it again.
I went for a lunch and was served a hamburger patty that tasted old , the lettuce was wilted and the tomato soggy. never again. We had to eat in the bar as the dinning area was no longer open. This was in the month of May.
If your paying the full weekend rate of over 100 USD, it's just not worth it. Location on top of a mountain makes for very unpredictable weather conditions. Course is generally in very good shape, with some interesting and challenging holes. Play during the week, and use the off rate discounts, great buy at 40 USD with cart.
