Great value

Melrose is a great value for the price in todays golf world. A challenging, narrow layout that requires precision off the tee more than bombs. Pace of play excellent. If they get the clubhouse back would be much better.

What a shame and shame on the owners…

Melrose was a nice course for many year’s. Over the last 10 years the course has continuously got worse. It is a disgrace. The grass is overgrown the tee boxes if you call them one are choppy with intermittent grass. The flags on the greens are ripped. The ball washers are broken with ripped towels. It is obvious the course is putting nothing back for maintenance. It is real cow pasture at this point.

Terrible condition

I shouldn’t have to walk through the garage for the golf carts in order to use the restroom. Also, I was a single and played 9 holes in 2:30 hours. I left halfway through bc of how long I waited and how atrocious the conditions of the course were. There were noticeable spots of crab grass on the green. Worst $60 of my life

Needs to be better.

This course has the potential to be a top public in the area. Instead it is falling into the worst. It is not maintained well at all. Tee boxes filled with weeds and greens are barely surviving. It’s a shame because with a little love could easily bring it back to its prime condition. Courses layout is fun & challenging.

Interesting Course

Decent course, but needs some upkeep. I think once upon a time, this was a great course, but they had to change the layout on the front 9 due to a road being built. It is a quirky layout on the front. The back 9 is very good. My overall issue is that the it doesn't look like they have ever pruned any trees on the course except on 18. Some holes are so overgrown you cannot aim for the middle of the fairway. Worth a play, however.

Course conditions terrible

Playing a course that charges $62:00 I wouldn’t expect crabgrass in the greens. Some bunkers had no sand in them and the rest were woefully lacking sand. It is obvious management is not putting enough resources in the upkeep of the course and it shows.
