Nice day at Shepherd Hills

Course was pleasantly green and soft, especially considering the very hot and dry weather we are experiencing this summer.

Nice Layout, Painfully Slow Greens

Shepherd Hills is a nice neighborhood course. It's a pretty nice layout with some challenging holes. My biggest complaint is that the greens might be the slowest I've ever played on in my life. I don't know if they've ever been rolled. And while not the fault of the course, someone in front of us played in baseball cleats leaving the already soft greens in even worse condition.

Greens were very receptive

We have not had much rain lately and the rough area is pretty hard. Stay in the fairways and you'll have no strange bounces. The greens were very good and they have to be a little slow right now.

had a good time

The course is not perfect, the rough was a bit high and full of white blooming clover. Still a great value for afternoon play.

Fair

Nothing special. The greens were very slow and the course wasn't on the best shape.

This is our go-to place too play. Been going for six or seven years. It is in the best shape ever. Staff is always great and the non-golf amenities are much improved.

Decent Course, Very Slow Greens

Shepherd Hills is a decent course to get out and practice on. While not a long course, it does provide for some challenging holes where accuracy is a must. My biggest complaint is the slowness of the greens. They are without a doubt the slowest greens I've played on all year. While it's up to the golfer to adjust, it just seems like taking a few hours and rolling the greens to speed them up would make the course more enjoyable.

Pin placement and conditions

I have played here many times and yesterday the pin placement on each hole was the best it has ever been, brought a whole new level of challenge to the round rather than the pins just being in the middle of every green. The pin placement was mixed all over different placement each time and made it very enjoyable. And the course was definitely in the best condition I have ever seen.
