The layout was pretty good and could be enjoyable. The conditions were poor (partially because of the bad winter which was out of their control). We brought a group of 12 guys and were told that it would be cart path only. The one gentlemen in the proshop said he would work to get us 90 degrees. The course was not wet at all. The only holes which were the least bit soggy were 1 and 9. The other holes were bone dry. We phoned into the clubhouse several times asking them to allow us to take the carts off of the path and they would not allow it. No one once come out to check to validate the conditions or to talk with us. Just a "nope" and hung up. They built this course expecting to sell hundreds of lots and it is clear they are struggling to sell any. Only a few houses built and not a single one under construction. You can tell they are tight for capital as the road all the way back to the club house has never had its top coat of blacktop leaving the manhole covers 2 inches above the road surface in a position to kill a car tire. Very little of the course is on the sound and the 18th green is a mile from the clubhouse in the middle of the course. Very poor design for a finishing hole. This course will be back to being a marsh land and closed in less than 5 years as there is no way they can continue to maintain all of the acreage. We won't be back. Sad because it has potential but the staff, conditions, and silly hole layout don't make it an enjoyable experience for a group on...

Aerated greens, sandy approaches, sandy fringe.

No mention of aerated greens during reservation or slapping down $100.00.

I have played at this course for years. Drive down from Chesapeake 4-5 times a year and stay at the one of the houses with a group every year. Always has been good.

Rates went from $55.00 with free range balls with replay to $100.00 with one bucket of balls and no replay.

Didn’t mind the $100.00 so much until I got to the practice green; aerated! I don’t mind playing aerated greens and understand it’s necessary but don’t charge me $45.00 more to play aerated greens and at least look me in the eyes and tell me you are ripping me off.

Also, they could have told me when I made reservation. That seemed purposeful.

Won’t be going back unless there’s some reparation. Also, lots of golf to play in the area with better accommodations and amenities for less. Honestly, it’s a $75.00 course at max, considering...

Great location, great golf course and wonderful people are all present at Scotch Hall Preserve. In the middle of 900 acres, there is no bad view!! We arrived for a getaway weekend and thanks to Laura and Lindsey, we were never disappointed! The INN is terrific! Finding the breakfast biscuits in the refrigerator was icing on the cake!!

We especially enjoyed sitting out at the firepit having a beverage and replaying our round of golf with our friends. Sunrise and a fresh cup of coffee (great kitchen) was a sight to see as well!

Our thanks to the staff at the Pro Shop for their hospitality and "first timer information"! The team serving in the Shed were also very accommodating.

We will be back but instead of staying for one night and 2 rounds, it will be 2 nights and 3 rounds!!! Thanks again to everyone at Scotch...
