This course could really use work. I played here several years ago and it has really tanked since then. The greens are in horrible shape, the rough is out of control (thought I was going to have ticks), and the cart paths are deplorable. For $20 for 18 holes with a cart, it’s barely worth it in the condition the course is in. The owner is a very sweet man and provides a friendly welcome but he needs to put some money toward better upkeep.

This course should be packed every night in the summer. It is so fun. The layout is an actual golf course - not just a pitch and putt with circle greens. The lights are really good too. There are some turf issues that come with a small operation, but unless you’re practicing for Augusta, it should not really matter to you. Hospitality and fun - certainly enough for us! #GolfCrusade

This is an incredibly fun course with a very cool layout. The greens are in decent condition and fun to putt on. The longest hole is about 180 yards. There are tee boxes farther back but I don't believe they are currently in use. The carts are brand new. You can bring your own beer. The gentleman who runs the course is very nice and runs a great operation. The toughest thing about the course is the tee boxes. They are basically rough. It adds an element of difficulty. This is a great course for beginners to learn on. It's an even better course to come out and play closest to the hole with your…

Course needs work. Other reviews stated 20 for round went to play today and charged 30 dollars. Definitely to high. Grass not mowed, tee boxes not maintained. Would be a good play for 20 but not 30.

Orchard Trace is the most fun course I've ever played, and likely the best par 3 course in America. There's beautiful scenery throughout the 18 holes, a classy clubhouse with a shady deck, and an attentive owner who's always on-site -- who also happens to be a tremendously nice guy. The modest green fee meant I didn't hesitate to play 36 holes for four consecutive days. I'm staying at a lovely campground walking distance away as I spend 45 days roaming the USA in my motorhome, and golfing at Orchard Trace has been the highlight of my trip.

It's ok for a par 3 course with some nice elevation changes. There could be more variety in the yardages as there were several holes that were 80-105 yards in length. It definitely gave my wedges a workout. I played from the tips and the longest shot I faced was 187 yards (per my range finder). The yardage markers for the holes are way off, some by as much as 25 yards so keep that in mind with club selection. The greens were in pretty bad shape but I knew that going in so my expectations were low. But for $20 and a cart you can't beat it. I would play again but not on a regular basis.

This is a great par 3 golf course, but bring your driver because they have a few holes that are 200 yards or more from the blue tees. The course is ruff, greens are in poor to fair condition, sandtraps have grass growing in them, but you'll have a great time improving your short game. You'll meet players that play at some of the area's better courses, but come here to improve their short game and to try to beat this course. Stay on the fairway and don't overshoot the greens, or you may find trouble and quickly blow your score and loose the friendly wager you have on the game.

Great place for the money. Very laid back. The greens are less than desirable, but for 20 bucks to ride 18 (par 3 course), you can't beat it. I haven't found a better time for 20 bucks anywhere.

Longish 18 hole par 3 course. Nice new golf carts, but greens were under necessary repair while being aerated and seeded. Long- time owner continually works to maintain and improve course.

Orchard Trace please reach out to a golf course maintenance company to help you maintain your facility. That used to be one of the best and most beautiful courses there was in the area. Now they're greens are ruined. The fairways are high. The tee boxes are high. Please don't let this golf course fall into such disrepair after many years of great great service to the community.

This is a fairly difficult Par-3 18-hole course, which can be truly rewarding and enjoyable. The terrain, the layout and the scenery are absolutely wonderful. Regardless of whether you are looking to test your golfing skills or simply enjoy God's amazing creation in nature, you definitely won't be disappointed. --- It's worth giving this course a try!

Super fun, beautiful scenery and layout is great. some challenging par 3s with the rolling steep greens, for 10 bucks to walk 18 holes its 100 percent worth it. My family and I will be playing there every time we are in town.
