Radisson Greens Golf Course — Local services in Town of Lysander

It’s sad to see how far downhill this course has gone the past couple of years. Coming from someone who worked here for 2 years and has been golfing here for over 5 years, I’m not sure there is much hope left.

I made a tee time for 11:20 and went in to pay around 11:05. I was greeted and welcomed as usual. While I was paying for a 9 hole round with cart for $40, I mentioned I had a rider who was not golfing and was told I would be charged a full fee of $40 for her too. After explaining that my girlfriend who was riding in the cart has never swung a club, I was told this was a new rule as of 2025 and there was no exceptions. Just 2 months ago I played here with my girlfriend riding in the cart and was only charged a $10 riders fee.

After paying $80 for 9 holes, I was upset but did not want to ruin the round. The course was in decent shape, but nothing worth $40 for 9. The bunkers were beat up and had ingrown grass all over. Later in the round as things slowed up, I checked the website while waiting on the tee box. There was no specific rate listed for a rider and the only rate that would apply would be the $10 cart fee for 9 holes.

After my round I walked back into the pro shop to mention this to whomever was working. I stated that from a customer standpoint this rate seems extremely unfair and should at least be listed on the website for future reference. My words were clearly not considered, similar to most of the other reviews, as I was told “we’ll look into it”, just like any other poorly managed place would respond.

I have played dozens of courses in the area and rarely ever get charged for a rider, let alone a whole greens fee. Even Timber Banks has never charged me a riders fee and that course blows Radisson away.

Ever since new management took over after the 2021 season, the reviews have been going downhill and nothing has been changed at the course in response to this...

What an absolute horrible experience. My husband and I went for 18 at 8:30am. We checked in with plenty of time, paid the $120 (for a poorly maintained course) and grabbed a score card only for one of the workers to say with attitude “well I guess I’ll have to take the card off the cart” jeez sorry-small thing, not a big deal. We get to the tee only for a group of 4 men waiting, when the Pro told them we were the 8:30 tee time. One gentleman already teed up on the tee was angry and argued well it’s 8:40! When in fact it was 8:30 and his friend had to remind him of the time. Not off to a great start. From there, every single hole we were rushed, we would patiently wait 6-8 minutes each tee for the group ahead of us who were painfully slow and wouldn’t let anyone play through, but we stayed patient. We had 3 balls come within 2 feet from us- I am 4 months pregnant, but I can keep up with my husband who shoots low 30s- we are not new golfers. When we finally let the pushing group through since they were in what seemed a big hurry- we found ourselves yet again waiting on each tee for 6-8 minutes now for them, only for the next group of 4 old white men to hit into us, once coming inches from me. It’s a busy course, first nice day this year and we recognize that but the golf etiquette between the pros and these men for a PUBLIC course is nonexistent. Give more of a buffer with tee times. We couldn’t even look for a few shots off the fairway since if we didn’t move we may get hit. It is an UNSAFE course and unfortunately older men will take away from this course getting younger...

This course has improved greatly in the past few years. The bunkers have all been redone and the greens were in excellent shape. Tee boxes and fairways were in excellent shape as well. The layout of the course has always been excellent. The par 5 3rd hole is one of the best anywhere. They also had a beverage cart on a weekday which is something most courses don't have. There are a couple of minor issues that keep it from 5 star status. There are a lot of broken/dead limbs littering the edges of the boundary (rough) of the course. The course is narrow so it's easy to find yourself there. Secondly, the cart are really old and need to be replaced. My guess is the new owners put money into the course first (rightly so). Walk or ride the course is worth the green fees they charge. I'd give the course a...
