Remain confident that Elmridge Golf Course’s 27 holes will have open tee times to golfers even with these trying times filled with a high demand to play golf. With three 9-hole courses, it is easy to find a weekend tee time here when most other golf courses are completely booked. The Elmridge golf courses were born from a dairy farm with a 40-foot-tall grain silo that is still behind the first tee on the white course.
The golf holes appear similar in both appearance and feel to one another on the different 9-hole golf courses. The course uses the elements of a typical golf template hole. Attributes include a few fairway bunkers and two or more bunkers on the around the greens. The wildly fast greens on the blue and white course were a nice change of pace to early-season greens that typically slower than they are in the middle of the season. The speed of the greens did make sinking a putt challenging, which will lead to higher scores.
Some of the fastest greens in the area are a prominent feature on both the White and Blue courses at Elmridge Golf Course. Making some holes feel impossible to one or even two-putt, while the red course greens were much slower. The White course is split between vast fairways to land tee shots and golf holes that are shorter with tighter driving lines. The Blue course remains like the White course in both layout and feel. The red course has a less constricted feel with less dense wooded areas to avoid.
The course does not contain many hazards or forced carries, which golfers of every level will enjoy. If golfers do get wild off the tee, the tree-lined fairways will cause havoc to low scores and could lead to many lost balls. Off the tee, it will be tough to recover from errant shots due to the thick woods surrounding the golf holes.
The course is located on a hill. However, it does not make walking too bad. There is not much drastic change in elevation. The layout is simple to follow, with only a few long walks between holes. The routing of the nine-hole golf courses allows for all of them to start and end near the clubhouse. This makes it easy to get from one nine to the other.
The price may not be the most enticing part of playing this golf course. There is, however, plenty of opportunities to play golf within the three courses. This place can send groups of golfers on all three golf courses at once.
The most memorable part that I must reiterate is how fast the greens play, especially when there is a slope to the green. For example, the par 3, 4th hole on the white course where the cupping location made every attempt that didn’t go in the hole, end up on the front collar. The par 3, 6th hole on the Blue course appears not to have a severe slope, but the ball can be hit past the hole, and it can trickle back into the hole.
Conditions: Conditions were fair, and the greens were running super quick and hard.
Difficulty: Putting and scoring well around the greens were the most challenging aspects of playing here.
Practice Green: There is a small green that is sloped like much of the greens on the course.
Value: The value lies not in the price but in the opportunity to golf.
Range: There is a range, and it is open to golfers.
Wear a hard hat: No hard hat is required. Most holes are protected from other golfers by tall and thick wooded areas.
