I personally enjoy the facilities. The nine hole side with the golf range is great to get some practice in and all quick game. Across the street is the 18 whole course with a restaurant on premises. Their is also a golf simulator in the same grounds for lessons and practice. Employees are friendly and helpful. The 18 hole course can be played as a 9 hole as well. Greens and fairways are kept in good shape.

Wonderful food. Charles was our server and he did a great job. We had a variety of items. Ahi tuna tartar was delicious. Caesar salad was great. Turkey melt was nice and juicy. Pork sandwiches had a kick but delicious. View of the golf course was great too as we dined outside. Also we topped off the dinner discussion with a heated argument about the necessity of the Gillette "woke" commercials and their impact on normal and moral males who don't abuse women, etc. It was a great evening!

Never play to well at Bethlehem, but that's on me. Plays long, but plays very well. Maintained well, new cart paths a plus for sure, the old ones were horrible. I think the greens are fast most of the time, but other then that, great place to play. And you get pictures like these....

Do not come in the afternoon unless you plan on walking the course. Came to play 18 holes. They told me there would be plenty of time and we’re happy enough to charge me for the full 18. it took 3 1/2 hours to play nine holes Because they keep sending out group after Group of one or two people walking. Was then told after I finished nine holes, I would have to return the cart and walk the back nine because it was after 6:30 and there was no way I can get the course done before the cart had to be back. I asked if I could get a rain check for the back nine or at least a partial refund since I pa…

Great municipal course. They redid it in 2021 and I was told about some upgrades they made and what a fantastic course. Well maintained. Surprisingly tricky in some places but overall great experience. Keep it up

My good friend and I each traveled over an hour to play here. We had played it once before about 45 years ago! We were hesitant to play the course after reading a lot of negative reviews. It goes to show you can't always go by that! The staff was friendly, and we went out right on time. We were paired with a younger twosome who were great to play with and were told the greens had just been aerated. The course is a little longer for us seniors on some of the par fours but overall, in excellent shape. Fairways are lush, rough is thick but playable and the greens were very bumpy due to aeration.…

The 9 hole course is a joke. It's 5pm on a Friday and they're just letting anyone and everyone out on the course at the same time. You have two guys leading the way acting like they're playing at Augusta international taking 15 mins on every tee box with no ranger or anyone going around to speed up play. They then proceed to have the nerve to come out while we are on hole 9 finishing up at 7:32pm telling us to stop playing and bring the cart back in a very disgruntled tone as if we're horrible people for wanting to get our $32 worth. Place really needs to figure out how to run things. Won't co…

I recently started playing golf again after taking a bunch of years off and went back to playing this nine hole course due to how close it is to me and the price. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the course has been revamped and everything is in a lot better shape then years ago. The fairways are in great condition as are the tea boxes and the greens. Everybody working there was very pleasant. They even have a free chip and putt practice area as well as a free practice green. You really can’t go wrong here.

Worst 9 hole golf course I've ever been too and some of the staff is rude. Sent a person out in front of me by themselves then said I couldn't play by myself and had to pair me up with slow golfers. Also use to be a good price, have gotten very greedy.
