It is a good beginner golf course. The course was very wet but we had a storm the day before. We had to follow two older women who walked the course and that made for slow play.

Above average

Brightwood Hills is a good test for the average golfer…Par 3s & 4s make it one of my favorite courses to play….Pace of play can sometimes get challenging?! But, overall, a solid course to play for the skills & challenges…Price point is always competitive…

Great starter course

Took my son to this course to learn the ropes. Great place for it, low pressure and we weren’t in anyone’s way. The tee boxes needed some work and the aeration on the greens put them in rough shape but for our purposes it was ok.

Great course! But..

The course was very nice, great for an easy game. Can be a little nerve wracking as the tee box in some areas is very close to the green of the previous hole. However all in all my only actual complaint from my game was the fact that there was goose poop EVERYWHERE on the course.

First Class!

Met a couple buddies for a quick nine on Sunday, 7/23 and learned I had goofed up the reservation time. My bad. Clubhouse was friendly, professional, and very cool.
They got us out with no drama, and we had a soggy good time-
Already enjoyed this hidden gem of a course, appreciate it even more.
Thank you!
