Strawberry Ridge Golf Course & Driving Range

Nice rustic ludge type venue. Went here for a bridal shower and had a little bit of trouble getting there because the location is quite remote. The food was good for a lunch. There were pulled pork sliders, beef pretzel bun sliders, salad and fruits. The servers were offering other girls a beverage as they sat down but I guess they didn’t see me so I had to go up to the bar. The server then apologized that she had missed me. While the bride was opening gifts, the staff was pretty attentive in getting different drinks and desserts to the party.

Quite frankly repulsive. Very overpriced we had four New York strip steaks all ordered differently medium to
rare all came out medium well. Worst meal I have ever had eating out. I would not go back if the food was free.

Course was in decent shape, greens were very hard, ok layout. The worst thing about this course is the people that are there. Clubhouse workers have an attitude and treat you like and outsider. It was also hillbilly heaven, I played on a Sunday morning and everyone was wearing cutoffs and playing veerrrrry slow. I had Yosemite Sam in front of us and Duck Dynasty driving into us from behind while I’m waiting for a group to get off a green.
Overall bad experience. I drove from New Castle to play and was very frustrated with the whole experience and wish I never played there.
Normally I would say maybe I just had a bad time but I can’t see someone else having a good time with the workers and the people they let off on a Sunday morning.
I gave it two stars for the course alone.

Decent golf track and they’re trying to improve and expand the facility. There are a few poorly designed holes which impacts the overall golf experience. My primary issue is their «customer 2^nd» attitude.

The positives: nice layout on the front 9 (I only played 9). The woman I spoke to on the phone after the girl mentioned below was very helpful and polite.
The negatives:
–signage — it wasn’t readily obvious whether hole #10 was actually 10 or 1. I had to ask someone.
-#7, I couldn’t tell which fairway was mine (I played the wrong hole).
–sandy and grainy greens
–shaggy fairways and shaggy tee boxes — it felt like I was teeing off in light rough
–the girl I spoke to about a tee time on the phone said she didn’t know about twilight rates and then sounded put off when I dare asked ‘Is there someone you can ask?’
-$ 1 charge for using a CC. It’s not the $ 1, it’s the fact they’re charging me for making their life more convenient. It’s 2014, just stop. Telling people you get a $ 1 discount with cash would sound a lot better.
–the girl behind the counter (sounded like the same one from the phone) didn’t know if I could tee off at 7. I mentioned the website had numerous available times after 7 and she still seemed confused.
–there were grounds-​crew kids hanging around the greens waiting on me to finish putting. On one green, the kid actually dropped a handful of balls to chip, waiting on me to finish. I go out to golf to be outside and enjoy myself. I don’t want two sprats practically dry-​humping me while I putt. Pull back and get out of my back pocket. You’re paid hourly, take advantage and wait for me to finish.
I can’t see myself coming back at the prices they list. This is a $ 25 course in it’s current condition. If the course is new and growing in, then it could be a nice track in 2 – 3 years. However, if this is as good as it gets there, I’ll take my money elsewhere.

This golf course is our favorite! There aren’t very many bunkers and the grounds are well maintained. The course is challenging and the pace is always good. My husband and I have played there over 10 times and we have always had a great time. You can order food from the restaurant on the 7^th hole and it’s ready for you at the turn.
Not only is the golfing great, but the food at the clubhouse is fantastic. We absoutley love the Prime Rib & Barley soup! It’s so good we sometimes get extra to go so we can heat and eat the next day. When we first tried the soup we couldn’t believe how good it was. The owner happened to bartending and he mentioned that his brother owns a nearby farm. He gets his meat there and that is one of the reasons it’s so good.
