Course conditions couldn’t be worse

I’ve played here probably 5-10xs. It’s normally in good shape. The course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen. To charge $60 for the course today was highway robbery. Also, half the holes the white tees were moved to the seniors spot making a short course even shorter. The pace of play was terrible. 5 hours to finish this round with a 2some in front of us. We were a 3some. Overall horrific experience

Muddy greens

The greens were in terrible condition. They were very muddy and diseased. The pace of play was on the slow side due to the lack of rangers on the course moving play along. The staff was nice and the food wasn’t too bad.

Greens Midday Maintenance... smh

Had a 2:30 tee time
Not sure why a greens keeper has to stand on t he middle of a green to water them in the middle of the day. But that is what happened to my foursome on a par 3.
We asked the greens keeper why could he not move to the side while we teed off. He responded he was just doing his job. I have been to many of golf courses and seen the same job be done from the side of the green. We then had an unfriendly exchange, where the cost of our round of golf was compared to the value of the green, we were laughed at by the greens keeper. The greens keeper called the pro shop and the worker in the pro shop came out and had the greens keeper move to another green. The pro shop worker appologized and said the greens keeper will stay out of our way the rest of the day. I understand the greens have to get some water in the day, but watering to saturation should be done in mornings and/or evenings like all the other country clubs do. If one guy can't get it done before the afternoon, maybe the couse needs more greens keepers, Gardens are nice to water during the day; golf couses are nice to play golf during the day... BTW as soon as our round was over, it started raining. SMH#check the weather

Fun round

Booked a foursome on a Friday afternoon and had no wait. Course was challenging with well cut fairways and super fast greens. My only suggestion is to keep the carts on the paths as much as possible. The course rangers flagged us a couple times on the front about being off the path too far. Not sure why they are like that. Everything was bone dry but not heat stressed.

Very sloooow

This course is well maintained and the greens are nice but slow. The fairways are in shape too. But.... the pace of play is extremely slow. 5-1/2 hrs to play 18 holes!!!! Are you kidding me? Where is the ranger? Oh wait... there isn’t one. I guess no one ever heard of ready golf. If you can’t see the group in front of you, you are playing slow, when theees 3 foresome Don a tee box someone is playing slow ... where’s the ranger?? Oh wait , it Bensalem

Good challenge, painfully slow pace of play

Despite tornado like weather just a few days earlier, the course was in tremendous shape besides a number of downed trees resulting from the storm's heavy winds. The fairways were plush and well maintained. The greens vary in size, but all were firm and fast and made putting a challenge. My only complaint was the pace of play. I have never played a slower round in my life! IT WAS BRUTAL! There should have been a ranger enforcing faster play, but there was nothing to do but sit and wait. We barely finished before sundown, and the entire round took just over 5 hours! Unfortunately because of this, I will be hesitant to return to play here in the future. It's truly a shame because Bensalem is a remarkable course.
