Reviews
Nice golf course, good greens, and interesting wildlife out here! We saw some interesting squirrels, a turtle, and some sheep. It’s a little bit of a crowded layout. It’s so close together, a lot of balls are hit onto other holes so watch out! Overall really great experience. The ladies in the grill are straight up PROs at what they do. The Cart girl was great and helped us get a cooler. We didn’t meet 1 employee here that was even subpar. They were all very happy working here! Or seemingly so.
An experience for sure. I play mostly Midwest golf—the layout at hermitage to start is really great. We played the Presidents course and the conditions were great. The greens were super interesting with the bent grass, it had me playing more aggressive approaches, your ball just stops and checks up like a pro. All around one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I’ve ever played.
Top to bottom this place gets 5 stars. The course is impeccable, the customer service is top notch and the value cannot be beat. My golf group has been to countless cities and courses and this is now on the top of our list. We are considering returning next year and just staying on property. The little things they do like a 87 cent beer for showing your score card was just icing on the cake. Well done Hermitage staff!
Played President’s Reserve on Wednesday. Great course, well maintained, wide fairways, fast greens, high grass OB. Beautiful scenery with the sheep, deer, and herring. The staff in the pro shop, snack shop, and others were friendly. I will definitely be back.
Well maintained 36 hole golf course. Pace of play was fine. The starters were very friendly and accommodating. Pro shop staff were fine. Its a busy place, so I get it. The grill staff and snack bar staff at the turn were great. Prices at the grill and snack bar are fair. Parking might seem like a pain but if you drive past the club house there is a lot more parking. The practice facility is nice. It was mats only when I visited but they have a large driving range. I imagine its difficult to maintain that grass with 36 holes and consistent tee times. The range balls are free with a tee time booking. Be prepared to check yourself for ticks if you venture into the rough to attempt to find or retrieve your ball. I brought two home.
