In summary

The Links at Ireland Grove is frequently praised for its friendly staff, well-maintained practice facilities, and convenient layout, making it a popular choice for both beginners and casual golfers. Many visitors appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to enjoy a quick round of par-3 golf. However, some criticisms include the perceived high cost for the course's offerings, occasional maintenance issues, and challenges with tee time management.

Review: $29 for 9 holes with a cart on this par-3 course feels overpriced. The layout barely qualifies as a true par-3, with even the back tees offering shots as short as 85 yards. Course conditions were disappointing: two greens showed signs of disease and were burnt out, hole 4 was covered in goose droppings on a Sunday afternoon, and none of the bunkers were maintained or raked. Overall, the course lacks challenge and feels underwhelming. Cons: • High price for what’s offered • No concession stand or beverages available Pros: • Clean bathrooms

Its nothing but a very pleasant fun little track, seven par-3 holes and two par-4’s (short but OK for a hacker senior like me). I hadn’t played it in years, walked a quick nine today and loved it. Greens in great shape. A cool little place.

Tried footgolfing for the first time and had a very enjoyable experience. Fellow golfers were asking questions about it after the round.

I like this course a lot. It's a challenging test of your iron skills. It's well maintained and the staff is friendly. The clientele is usually very relaxed as well. They generally follow proper ediqutte but aren't bent out of shape unless someone does something egregious. I appreciate that as I've been in course where it's like trying to play through spring break, and other courses where I feel like I should've worn a tux to play 9. It's a comfortable atmosphere for beginners, but challenging enough for experienced players to have fun. The practice facilities are also well maintained. It's…

We love the convenience of The Links. We play there often. It's a fun little 3-par: quick to play and enjoy! We like that we can squeeze in 9 holes before dinner without taking up the whole day. Great for playing with kids. The kids' camp (lessons) is great, too. Friendly staff. Clean amenities.

I've never played the course, but the driving range is great here. I have also taken lessons with Kenny Jacobs. Kenny is a great instructor. He turned my golf game around drastically in just a few lessons (I even saw a big improvement after just one lesson). The rate is very reasonable, and he's not pushy. You can take lessons sporadically every few weeks or months, or start a regular lesson routine. The folks in the clubhouse seem super friendly every time I go in there. Overall, this course seems to appeal to the casual golfer and the beginning golfer. It's great for those looking to have…

I bought a monthly unlimited pass for June for only $70! I have played everyday this week so far starting between 8 and 9 in the morning. I’m in and out in under an hour each day walking. I could easily play another 9 with little or no wait each day after my first round. I have brought one daughter with me each of the last two days to see what Dad does when he says he is going golfing. Jeff has been so welcoming and nice to me and both of my girls (age 10 and 8) that I have brought with me to walk along. Today he even had my 8 year old take his Lab “Norm” with her as she walked along. She was…

Apparently, tee times mean nothing here. They're spaced 10 minutes apart on the site, but that didn't stop the guy behind me from teeing off 5 minutes after I did and breathing down my neck for three holes before I just left. If you're not going to hold players to their tee times, don't have them.

We were out at Casper Brewing at the Links at Ireland Grove. The entertainment was excellent: Jim and Tommy, singing classic hits including: rock, R&B, and even a Jersey Boys medley. There is no food on site but the burgers offered by the food truck: Jurrasic Grill were surprisingly very good.

Showed up 10 minutes before 6 to purchase a bucket of balls for the range. Machine wasn’t working so I went in to the office and the attendant printed me a ticket to use for a machine that wasn’t even powered on. I took the ticket back in and she said there wasn’t anything to be done expect refund my money. She was kind and refunded me on the spot, but the fact that no one could help me during hours was a big waste of time and gas.

Use driving range regularly, very convenient and well maintained. Course is a nice challenge to have close by. They schedule programs and events for all ages.
