Tee Time: 12:44

Rate: GolfNow Hot Deal $109

Tees: Overseed was perfect and flat 

Fairways: Lush overseed  8/10

Bunkers: perfectly playable 

Greens: Listed as UltraDwarf Bermuda but something else maybe. Yellow colored and “seedy” They rolled fine just not sure what they are  

Gators: Was promised 3 or 4 by starter and got ZERO

POP: 4 hours

Cart Paths: Just fine. 

 

Started on the back 9. Just the wife and I. Enjoy this course. It has several forced approaches and a few holes I personally think are bad designs (16 and 18). You get some great views of the Intracoastal waterway and the design never gets boring.

Glen Dornoch updated the greens to Champions about 7 years ago.   
UltraDwarf is a default name for the various Hybrid greens.   
Maybe you saw overseed or poa.     
 
About the only place you will see gators is in or around lakes/ponds. 
They don't seem to like the marsh.    
 
The problem with #16 is the green is too small. The back left would be impossible
to get to with a long club.    
 
#18 is interesting for those with enough power to hit over the marsh. 
 
Thanks!

@artmbgolf 16 green is tiny. And it’s just dumb that no matter which tee you play from the least approach you’re looking at is 170 yards from the very edge of the upper fairway. My wife is a great player but she doesn’t have 170 carry in her. 

 

I get risk reward but 18 isn’t that. The risk isn’t really big for long hitters but straight hitters then have a 200 plus yard approach if they lay up.

I also think 16 is bad hole, although not as bad as the 9th at Rivers Edge, which is probably the worst hole in the whole area from a design perspective.

I like this course, although I agree that 16 & 18 are not good designs.  Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for the review!$109 Hot Deal seems like decent value. Tees and fairways sounding lush and in good shape, bunkers playable — nice. Greens being yellow/seedy is odd for UltraDwarf Bermuda, but at least they rolled okay.No gators this time (bummer or relief depending on your mood ). 4-hour round for a twosome is solid.Back 9 start with just you and the wife, Intracoastal views, and mostly enjoyable design (minus 16 & 18) — sounds like a fun, varied round. Worth going back at that price.

Is Glen Dornoch closing this summer? We're planning on August arrival and no tee times available online and no answer from pro shop

I see tee times at Glen Dorn in every summer month.    What website did you use? 
It's also possible you checked a World Am day if late August.     
 
They are not closing.
