I played the Landings last Sunday with two friends. I have not played there in some time, and need to correct this. I had forgotten what a nice course it is.
I will start with the biggest negative. I had a guest from Europe with me. He is left handed. The Landings had no left handed clubs! So for $20 we rented some right handed clubs. This was for a 3:30 tee time. The man at the counter of course asked for a drivers license to hold as security and then informed us that we needed to be back at the club house by 7PM as that was when he closed shop and that is when the clubs needed to be in if we expected our drivers license back. Attitude!
In the end, we cut the round short by 2 holes, rushed back to the clubhouse and the same counter man pleasently greeted us and said, I was not sure you would be here in time so I gave your ID to the cart shack people, they are expecting you, if you are not through yet, finish up and when you return the cart and clubs you can pick up the license.
Now why did he not offer that in the first place?
Now the good stuff. The course was in great shape. The layout is terrific. Great variety. There are short par 3s, Long par 5s, a number of water holes, a 100 foot drop tee shot, elevated greens, and bunkers in strategic locations. The conditioning was excellent and the greens were first rate.
Pace of play was only slowed by the number of singles (local residence owners) who showed up (3 different ones). They were all great golfers, long ball hitters, and fast players. We let each of them play through. Accordingly, our pace was slowed somewhat.
The landings was formerly a 27 hole venue. They kept the 2 best 9s and the course remains a delight and a very good value at the $35 we paid.
If you are in the area and want a nice golf experience, you can not go wrong by playing The Landings.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
