Made it to Waterford earlier in the week and was very impressed. Couldn’t beat the $25 coupon considering the shape of the fairways and greens. The weather was not great when I played, but the course was in great shape.

Played 10/1 – very good shape – they have not yet airified and wont for a few more weeks. Greens are fast and firm – did not hold well as they are truly very firm and unusually fast for a Carolina Trail Course.

I really like the layout here and the course is most always well maintained – Big hitters will be extra pleased to learn that the menancing tree on 14 (right side fairway daring you on your drive to cut around it) has been removed making this par 5 a green light for those willing to “borrow a bit” and cut the dogleg. I easily was on in 2 and I am no that big a hitter but only had 187 in after my drive..missed the eagle putt but had tap in birdie.

pace of play was slow for us being the 3rd group out and behind a threesome – no rnagers pushing folks along I consider slow 4 hrs so we came in at 3.75, but as third group and a threesome.

Played 8/9/08. The fairways were in pretty good condition. The greens rolled mostly good and were pretty fast, but the appearence was poor, lots of ball mark spots, a big fungus (black-dark green) problem, and some of the greens either were beginning to have a crab grass problem or when they overseeded the fairways with bermuda earlier this summer they got careless and hit some. But for $35 on a Sat it was a steal. All in all I enjoyed the course.

Played Waterford yesterday. Pace of play was fine. Fairways and tee boxes were in good condition. Greens were in a hurting state. They were super slow and pot marked and pretty much all of them had crab grass spots. #5 and #6 greens were worthy to note because they appeared to be the worst of the bunch. #6 has many many bare spots from where they tried to spot kill the crab grass. Well – they did but managed to create hundreds of bare spots on the green.

Other than that – another day of golf.

Played yesterday afternoon. Greens in great shape, fast as usual. They got a lot of rain the last few days and it was cart path only, but this was more of a precaution. (Several players were ignoring the cart-path only, with no damage.)

There was a bit of drainage problems in some of the bunkers — #2 fairway bunker being the worst I saw, but overall the course was in decent shape.

Played on SAT AM. Wet, and a Few Greens were shot…Course was in OK shape, and Cart girl did not show til 17th hole. Coupon online for 37 bucks, otherwise I thought it was AVG at BEst…If it was in good shape, it would have been sweet. Bunkers were perfect.

Played Waterford yesterday (5/29/11). Course is in pretty good shape, but the greens were unusually slow. Actually they were probably the slowest I have ever seen there. Fairways were pretty good. There were several bunkers with standing water, but the fairways played hard and fast – weird. Overall, I give it a B.

is waterford suffering the same fate as other trail courses?

uh – yes……

LOL
