Waldorf Astoria Golf Club

Played the course in March and was very surprised that several greens were bad. I got a raincheck to come back. Most of the greens have improved since then, but 2-3 still need time. Played at other courses recently and many seem to have similar or worse issue with greens? Staff is great and the rest of the golf course is top notch. They mentioned they may punch greens soon.

Greens were a mess. About half were diseased and mossy looking mounds. Very disappointing

Course has a great layout and is well maintained, but the greens are in terrible condition (hole 6 is the worst). You expect close to perfect condition for the price, but no. Worst part is that staff does not mention anything, so they charge full rate and you won’t notice until you get to green on #1, a little bit dishonest from my point of view.

The course facilities and layout were fantastic. However, roughly half of the greens had a pronounced fungus which made it difficult to either play or enjoy compared to the price. Overall, we were quite disappointed given the numerous quality options in the area for the price we paid.

Greens were in terrible shape and everything was way over priced DubsDread and grand vista were much better courses and still more than half the price. Had high expectations very disappointing.

Overall course is nice but several greens are gone with others very spotty. Disappointing given the few and expectations.

Waldorf is known for impeccable conditions, and that is true for everything BUT the greens at the moment.

Beware on paying over 100$ for a round at the moment as 75% of the greens are dead and infected with diseases.

Good-1st time playing since redesign and the course changes are great. More open, several bunkers removed or moved. Lots of new chipping areas around greens. Changes on 4th hole are terrific. New par 3 on 16 is a wow. Bad-green speeds were uneven and some bumpy. A couple greens appear to be still growing in. Can't wait to play again when everything is perfect. Staff great as expected.

Good and bad comments: The BAD: The greens were very rough. Apparently they've had issues due to weather since Oct/Nov. However, we played Celebration the next day and the greens were excellent there. The really frustrating part was that I called the course a week before we played and they told me the course was in great shape. I don't appreciate either being lied to or someone telling me it was in great shape when it was not. This needs to get fixed for customer satisfaction issues as well as proper ethics. The GOOD: This is a beautiful course. The layout is great and very enjoyable. It was challenging, yet very playable. The staff was very friendly. The facilities are very nice and new. The range was great with unlimited balls.

As we had to pay full rate for the round at this course. The conditions of most of the greens were very poor. It was as though we were putting across green painted dirt. The head professional never mentioned this when we signed in in the pro shop and I do not think it warranted 250 dollars plus to play. The green fees should have been halved. Perhaps even Golf Now should review their pricing structure for this course at present because it did not warrant full price.

Fairways were in great condition as were the cart paths.
This course is challenging from any tee with deep bunkers and water on most holes.
A great course for low to mid-handicap golfers.
Tough for beginners and high handicap players.
I found the greens rather spongy and inconsistent

Pros. The staff were friendly, practice area nice. That’s where it stopped. Conditions of the greens were basically unplayable on some holes, tragically bad on other holes. 340 for the round and no mention that many of the greens were not worth putting. Uncut tee boxes and no ability to order food at the clubhouse after the round. They said food services needed at 4pm! How does they happen on a Saturday? Save your Monday and visit grand cypress, or better yet travel to southern dunes and get a great course for half the price.

The course was in very nice condition, however, I’m a bit disappointed in the condition of several of the greens that were bare or had very sparse turf. Also, the greens were incredibly slow. The laughing theme of our foursome was “who can smack it hard enough to get it to the hole”, and we just could not accomplish that. With the condition of those several greens, one would think the clubhouse would be offering discounted green fees, but that did not happen.

Great course and good conditions, except greens were of variable quality….. would expect better for price. Pace good, range ok, staff pleasant.
