Linfield National Golf Club

About
Linfield National Golf Club is a public course that is one of the area's best values. Formerly known as Sycamore Ridge, the course changed ownership in addition to its name. Since those two major changes, the course boasts better conditions and a renovated clubhouse. The layout has a classic links design that incorporates traditional elements including water, trees, and a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The up-and-down of the golf course is one of the most challenging elements of the layout. The course is tight with a few adjacent fairways but this configuration also allows for a bit of extra room for recovery shots. Some of the holes at Linfield National Golf Club are quite narrow but it is still possible to hit the green in regulation. Though the course is only 6,164 yards, the rolling terrain will make it seem much longer.

Tee Box Photo submitted by WoodsonGoBlue on 08/23/2016
Over an hour wait for a golf cart
This used to be our go to course before the pandemic. It has gone downhill since March 2020. We pulled up at 2pm for our tee time on a Saturday and expected some delays at the tee box. We never expected an HOUR wait for a golf cart! There were at least 4-5 groups ahead of us waiting as well. Countless people left the course without waiting to play to go elsewhere whereas one group of 4 decided to walk. When we went into the pro shop to try to get a refund, there were two teenagers without a manager (on a Saturday afternoon!!). We were told to call the owner as they were not on site and could not give a voucher/refund. At the tee time we were scheduled to play, you would expect to complete at least 17 holes before dark. We barely finished 14. For the cost of the round, this was a waste of money. There were backups on all tees as there is not a stater at this course as well. No one knows why they ran out of carts (nor why none appeared for 30 minutes!), but this could have been avoided with better course management. In addition, the course advertised they still had tee times available! I should add we have golfed over 70 times thus year at over 30 courses and golf year round. As I started off thus review, this was our favorite course to play, but. I doubt we will be back any time soon.
great course
My wife and I played this course and had a great time. Even when our golf cart stopped working at the 11th hole, it took about 2 mins for them to bring another one.
Even with the greens being aerated, the ball still traveled well (unlike many other courses) and the views were amazing. We will be back soon!

Fairways Aerated
Have played here a number of times and always enjoyed the course. Today the fairways had been aerated and plugs made for poor conditions. This should be noted when you make a reservation and price adjusted if you want to play in bad fairways.Cart paths need some work.
I will most likely play here again but will check on conditions first. I like the layout and the greens.

Once a Great Course, Now in Bad Shape
I enjoyed a few rounds here in the past, but the most recent round was poor. Many fairways were just dirt and crab grass, and more than half of the tee boxes were the same. The greens were in great shape, but the quality of other areas was concerning.
The course layout is ok, but the holes are very tightly packed. You will hear, “fore!” every 30 seconds. Expect to doge an errant tee shot a few times.
Hi dAs20x! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Pace of play on a Saturday afternoon was very slow and no rangers anywhere in sight.
Otherwise an enjoyable round - greens seemed to be in good shape and although it’s a shorter track, there are some challenging holes where you need to be accurate off the tee.

Good but slow
The positives were it was a perfect weekend day for golf and the groups in front and behind us were pleasant. The negatives were that that play was beyond slow, groups kept interrupting play by driving across your fairway for their ball, and the tee boxes were in terrible shape. Linfield is generally in decent shape but obviously the season took it's toll. The staff is friendly and it's not a bad value but be prepared for 5-6 hour rounds on a weekend.

Poor condition
Tee boxes were absolutely horrible! One tee box had no grass. Crammed into a small area. Constantly watching for balls coming at you from multiple holes. $65 was totally disappointed ended up at Linfeild

Good times
Great time on the course. Some slow play in front of us to start, but the course was in great condition. They were fixing tee boxes, so some sand in the tee boxes, but otherwise the course was great.

Ugh
Lots of bare tee boxes. Not worth even the discount rate of $37. Much better courses around for a better value and price point.
