Longwood Golf Club is a 27 hole course. Overall I would give this course a B. The fairways and tee-boxes are mediocre and the greens could use A LOT of improvement.
The driving range was in pretty good shape (was hitting off grass), but isnt the biggest so if its busy you may have to wait for a spot to open up.
If you are spraying the ball off the tee I would recommend finding another course as this track has many tree's lining its fairways. The course is challenging in the fact that straight shots are critical off the tee and on many approach shots. However, with its tree line, you can still feel the wind in your shots if its breezy.
Though subtle, the course does have elevation changes coming into affect. Some approach shots may not seem like it, but an extra club may be needed from time to time. The course plays just under 7,000 yards from the tips, so long hitters wont find this course too short.
I paid $54 for my round (sunday) and it included two bud light drafts. I would've rather paid $40 and no bud light. Also, i have no idea what course management was thinking, but they decided to start a shot-gun tournament around us in the middle of our front nine. When we made the turn, there were two groups waiting to tee off on the 10th hole. It took us 1.5 hours to play three holes and after 14 we just gave up and came in. On our way in we were looking for a spot to jump back in and finish, but the course was stacked all the way to 18 green. Pretty terrible on their part.
I would MAYBE play longwood again, but definitely not anytime soon. It is about 25 minutes from where I live, and im sure i can find much better courses closer with a better price point.
