Golf course review of Mount Pleasant Golf Club

If you just want to play 9 holes this course is well worth a visit. It is quite an easy course but it is kept in very good condition and has a mix of 3, 4 and 5 par holes - which is unusual for 9 hole courses. If you want to play 18 holes there are different tee positions second time around. A little over priced though compared with other courses in the area.

Golf course review of Mount Pleasant Golf Club

Nice new venue BUT unfortunately the owners are rather grumpy. Pity they don\'t realise that this has already put off many customers. I have also met other players on other courses that have said they left Mount Pl. and joined another club because of this. Personally I think it is an easy thing to fix, an intensive customer care course perhaps. But sometimes you just can\'t change people\'s personality and they don\'t think they are doing anything wrong. I go elsewhere now.

Golf course review of Mount Pleasant Golf Club

Course built on old farmland. Wide fairways & not to daunting for the inexperienced. Normally in pretty good condition.

Golf course review of Mount Pleasant Golf Club

For some reason, I always find this course a challenge. It's basically a 9 hole golf course with alternative Tee's to make it into 18. For a backwoods little village golf course, I think it's one of the better laid out golf courses. It's a shame really that don't have 18 different holes.
Facilities: The only thing for me that is really missed, is a driving range to warm up. The putting green and the chipping green are the best I've seen in my limited time golfing. The golf shop is small, but perfect where it is. The club house has toilets, showers, and a changing area. The food is lovely here and the staff really give it that welcoming, home feel. I recommend trying the home made deserts. They are brilliant!!!
Membership: The other thing that I think lets the club down is it's membership. You don't pay for a full membership, it's just a partial and don't feel that you really save money. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick here when I looked at it. Hopefully someone will say otherwise if I'm wrong. But for a fun day at regular price, it's not too bad. I always feel I get my money's worth.
Course: I don't know what it is about this course, but I lose a lot of balls here. I think my course management needs to be improved!!! The one criticism I have about the heavy rough is that it is too heavy. I like the idea where the heavy rough is kept in check so you can still find your ball relatively easy and keep the round going at a steady pace. I don't like to have to look ages through knee high rough (even refurbished Pro-V1's cost money). This comment though is really one of my pet peaves for all the golf courses I've played. I don't see the value in a player losing their ball. It slows things down. When you hit some poorly and it's out of bounds, you usually know then to drop another ball, but rough is one of those things where you can get caught out and completely mess up the flow of your game.
First hole-The hole of doom: If you get a chance to sit and watch people tee off for what looks like an easy 160yd par 3, you would think it is an easy hole. Beware, so many people mess up this hole, it's unbelievable. I personally blame this on the fact their isn't a proper range to warm up those longer irons and see what shot is working for you. It's a pretty open hole, but it can get you.
Second hole: Dog leg right. Cut the corner if you dare. I've not made it yet and can usually drive at least 220 carry. I like to try and slice it into the dog leg. I've not hit it out the back yet, though I don't try to kill it in all fairness.
Third hole: For some reason, this hole always takes me right, putting me right behind a hedge or a go out of bounds. If the wind is howling, it can be just the opposite and take me into the trees or the rough to the left. It's not as open as you might think and you can easily get caught out on this hole.
Fourth hole: Minnie dog leg right again. Oh - the driver is sooooo tempting on this hole, but beware of the water. It's just in range. And if you slice too much, you'll be in the woods. The putting green is surrounded be bunkers both front and back, there is also a mound out the back that is easy to go over. As this green is exposed, it's very quick, hence the extra notes about going out the back!!!
Fifth hole: Keep it on the fairway and you'll be fine. If you miss either left of right, you have the knee high rough to deal with. If you go in the rough, take a extra shot just in case. This hole take you down hill. Should be an easy hole, don't make it difficult for yourself.
Sixth hole: A very straight forward hole. Watch out for the rough on the right. This hole should be fairly straight forward. You end up playing up hill. So it's not always easy to judge your distance if wind is involved. Hopefully you paid attention on the Fifth. Only other concern is the sand around the green. Plus this is an exposed green yet again, so it can play quick or it could be a case of getting caught by the wind.
Seventh: Long hole. Always tempting to use the driver, but that brings in the ditch. In the summer on a warm day, I've cleared the ditch once. All the rest have been in the ditch or feet from it if I used a driver. I lay up now. The green is worth mentioning here as it has some very awkward bunkers protecting it. If you can come in from the right side, it's far easier. The left side of the fairway brings the bunkers in play.
eight hole: I use a driver on this hole. Sometimes a make it across the stream, sometimes I don't. Don't slice it to the right, as you will be in a world of rough. If you draw it to the left and go long, you can also be in the rough. A couple of bunkers around the green add a bit of spice. Again, another hole that looks easy, but doesn't necessarily play that way.
Ninth: My favourite hole for some reason. Again, don't slice right as there is a lot of knee high rough over there. Place there are some fairway bunkers I seem to remember. Keep it straight and true and you should have a nice play into the green. Should be an easy hole to finish on a positive (I usually only play nine holes here). But as in golf, sometimes the script isn't written that way.
Final note, Glen the local pro is a good guy and very helpful. If you want to get value for money with a lesson, this is the course and good pro to get you there.

Golf course review of Mount Pleasant Golf Club

9 hole course; 18 tee boxes. good placement of teh tee boxes means you dont feel like you are playing the same 9 hole course twice. having said all of that i usually just play the 9 holes which suits me fine as i have a young family. so good challenging holes and a couple where you can get the big dog out, open the shoulders and give the ball the full treatment.

all in all a very nice course, well kept and well maintained. the Club house isnt brilliant but the owners have plans to build a new one - the design drawings look great - lets hope it gets built sooner, not later
