Decent Course

Played the course on a Saturday around lunch time. Pace of play was excellent. Customer service was excellent. Greens are very small and roll slow. Greens are in pretty good shape. Green side bunkers are about 10-15 feet from the start of the greens which was weird. The grass on the tee boxes needs to be mowed lower, it was super high. Cart paths are atrocious. Price is decent for the area.

Mixed bag

This was an unusual round to say the least. I had a walk off eagle on 18 after holing a sand wedge. Nearly jarred a 9-iron earlier and shot 76 so those were positives. I didn’t like all the homes lining most fairways. No. 3 was the worst. Greens rolled very nice but greens were very small, ostensibly to save money by mowing less. On most greens, there was 15-20 feet of separation between bunkers and the putting surface. Tee boxes were like rough as well, grass was very high. Cart paths do need TLC as other reviewers state. Also the back 9 bathroom facilities were locked. Not sure why.

Nice course

Played the Byrd course after a couple of days of rain. The course was very playable. I thought the greens were pretty good. Would play it again. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable

Thought that the Byrd Course was in the best shape we’ve seen in it quite a few years. We’ve been playing it quite a bit in the last several years.
Cart paths will bounce you around pretty bad. They are very rough and take away from an otherwise great experience.
We will certainly continue to play the Byrd Course, just wish at least some work would be done on the cart paths.

Course in great condition

Course was beautiful. Fairways were lush, tee boxes and greens well maintained. The only problem we had was a couple of groups of four that ignored proper golf etiquette. We were a group of three with an experienced group of four in front of us who played efficiently and should have been allowed to play through at least one of those two groups . The two groups in front of them were taking extra shots, slow play, etc. Marshall was called but never came out, so we all suffered as a domino effect. Many times we had to wait together, watching the other two groups lazily play as if they were the only groups on the course on this busy day.
