Par 33 LC 9 Holes

This was my first time playing the par 339 holes golf course, and it was a great experience. We played from the Tips, and even though it was a short course, the holes were very challenging and a lot of hills. Nothing was straight, and the greens were very sloped. This is a great course for a beginner, intermediate, and beyond. I would play this course again, and I am looking forward to playing they’re 18 hole golf course.

Enjoyable Short Course, Needs One Fix

I enjoyed the Learning Center course at Galloping Hill on a cold Saturday morning. The course was modestly challenging- mostly, it was very hilly. I was surprised while walking just how steep several of the hills were. I'm a seasoned golfer and was amazed to lose a ball hit dead center into the fairway. That's rare. Would have given the course conditions higher marks but the par-3 7th green was completely atrocious- on the elevated green there were big holes and dead spots with no remedial attention. I had a good birdie look after a great tee shot, but conditions on the green made a bird impossible. Aside from the hugely disappointing anomaly, I'd say the course was in decent shape. I will be playing this course again in the near future, and I'll be vocally persistent about them making a better effort to fix that green.

Well Maintained & Fairly Priced

This course is always in great condition and is priced well. It’s my go to course every time I want to play a round of golf. Also, the products @ the pro shop are reasonably priced, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Really loved the 9 hole course

I've been trying to get on this course for a while, but can never seem to get a good tee time. Very beautifully laid out, with sweeping dog legs and high tee boxes. Very well maintained.

TLC is TLC

Can't say enough good things about this 9 hole track except I wish there were more of them. Probably the best value at the moment . Conditions are so good -- there's a few patches here and there but as public courses go, TLC is attended to very well. The overall track is short-ish, but if I play from the blues, it's a nice test in itself. I come here regularly and leave my woods behind to practice my long and short irons.

Great for Beginners

The Learning Cneter is exactly what it sounds like!
A perfect round for beginners looking to experience some full size holes in a 9 hole package. Pace of play is very relaxed, giving beginners time to learn the game.

The best value for a 9 hole course

I play the Learning Center almost every week. It’s a terrific track to practice the mid to short game. Most of the time, I just leave the woods in the car and refine my iron game here. Solid conditions and a nice layout make for a lovely round.
