Compass Pointe Golf Courses

Kudos to the staff and grounds crew at Compass Pointe! The staff is very friendly and will always encourage you to have a great. I played South and West this afternoon and the course was in great shape for the end of November. Fairways and greens were near perfect. Great job cleaning out some of the hazard areas and high grasses. Huge improvements!!!

The staff is friendly and very helpful. Both courses are fun, but there are a million geese out there. That wouldn’t be too bad if the geese didn’t poop all over the place, especially the greens. Ever try to sink a 20 ft putt with three goose turds between you and the whole? Me either, but I’ve tried to do it with four goose turds between me and the hole and to my surprise, I didn’t sink the putt. Not because I hit any goose crap, but because I suck at putting. But I imagine if you’re a great putter and there was goose poop in the way of your lie, then you’d be upset. Not only do the geese have free run on the greens, but the humans leave the sand traps unraked, and the divots uncovered and the pitch marks where they lay.

We’re new to the area and found this place not too far from where we live. The staff was very helpful and gave us all the info we needed to have a great experience here. We played the South East course and had no complaints about the course itself. The driving range was great, nice and open.
You can order foods/​drinks (beer) at hole 8 and pick up after hole 9, this was convenient. Overall great experience.
I will add that we came during the week, there was a good amount of people here but we never felt rushed. Not sure how busy this place gets during the weekends but we will definitely have to come back & find out.

I played Compass Pointe a few times this year. I am very happy that they have worked hard to improve the overall course conditions. The staff was nice, I would recommend getting out early if you like to play quick.

I played the North and East courses this morning and was completely disappointed. Considering it is only June the course should be in great condition. However, the tee boxes were not taken care of, the fairways were splotchy and the bunkers were like cement. It is quite obvious management does not care about the course conditions. I would not recommend this course to anyone especially when there are other courses around that are in perfect condition for only a few dollars more. One star is generous but it received that because it was only $ 42.00 to play. If you want a good golf experience do not expect one here.

Great course. Well kept and nice staff! Wendy was courteous and nice. We found our new go-​to course!

Wendy! is awesome in the pro shop/​bar. Great customer service everywhere! Will never complain about a 36 hole course!

The North course is pretty good. The staff is friendly and helpful (much nicer than Eisenhower).
A little pricey for muni course standards.

So far, the course is in better shape in 2013 than it has been for the last couple years (2011-​12 had terrible problems with dead turf from heat/​moisture issues). The wait to pay in the pro shop can take quite a while, but staff both indoors and out are very friendly and try to accommodate any requests (especially the gals in the bar and grill areas). There are casual leagues for both men and women, and both private and group lessons for those who want to improve their game. The course is trying to innovate with night golf and date nights, too.
This course design is not appropriate to walk (too far from green to the next tee in many cases), so a riding cart is a must. Once one gets away from the neighboring shooting range on South #1 and #2 holes (yes, it is jarring to hear the blasts if you’re not expecting them), there is a variety of wildlife in the naturalized areas, and the course is home to a variety of birds and an eagle. The course is a valuable public good, and the sport serves teens to seniors well for enjoyable entertainment and fitness. There are a number of groups that use the large tents set up by the Compass Pointe clubhouse for golf outings, and the covered patio outside the bar is a pleasant space after a round, too.
Water management in past years has proven inadequate since the course suffered alternately from wet wilt, mud flats and from water shortages in the recent past, which has made turf management a lost cause. Despite budget woes, AA County needs to invest in some maintenance to keep this course from sliding into decline. Public courses in nearby counties have somehow been managing these turf issues better and are still offering reasonable greens fees, so there is hope for Compass Pointe if the right priorities are adopted.

I am from out of town and had a day to kill in the area. I found Compass Pointe through
. I have had great finds from them in the past when traveling.
But not this time.
The course was in TERRIBLE shape. We thought we got a deal at $ 50 a head from
and then we find out they had groupons out in the area for $ 25. I would have still been upset paying $ 25. Even the carts were in bad shape. One drink gal for the 4 9 hole courses.
I can’t stress enough how bad the fairways, bunkers and greens were. We actually measured grass on one green that was over 1″ tall! Some greens had large dead spots. There were hundreds of geese on the fairways with their droppings everywhere.
There is no way I will ever play here again or recommend it.

What’s the other reviewer talking about? Impeccable shape? Say what?!?
This course always seems to be a conundrum. I’m always forgetting why I don’t like playing here, until I come back and play it again. Then I remember… and forget later on. It’s a vicious cycle.
There are two 18 hole golf courses here. North-​East & South-​West. From a golf standpoint, SW is definitely the easier, more forgiving course. NE is a much tighter, tree-​lined golf course that feels like it plays longer than what the card says. If I had to choose, I’d play the SW course because it is more fun, a more variety of holes. NE is just kinda boring, except for a few holes where it is a blind tee shot. And by blind, I mean you have NO clue where the fairway is or where your ball is after you hit it. It is a complete joke because you hit a great shot only to find out that it wasn’t.
Some of the fairways are in good shape, and some of the fairways are completely dead from heat/​lack of water. Your ball might bounce 20 feet in the air after landing in the fairway. The greens are usually in good shape, so they have that going for them.
Overall, I wouldn’t pay over $ 35 to play here on a weekday. I don’t think the course is worth more than that on a daily basis. There are a lot better options for your money in the area, and I would always check them out first.

I really liked these courses. I played here a couple of times and was treated really well. The courses always seem to be in impeccable shape, and its very moderately priced. I usually try to go after work and catch the twilight rate. It is a very nice layout with lots of variety.

Your tempo may be interrupted in the middle of your backswing on #2 on the South course when the shotgun blasts from the neighboring gun range twenty yards on the right. The clubhouse began the round by telling us that the fairways are in bad shape. Try almost completely devoid of grass because of the weather, so your second shot is almost exclusively off of remnants of grass five feet from where your ball lands. Then, the starter begins your round, after you have paid, by telling you that every sand trap’s condition is similarly unplayable, so you get a free drop. (one star for the free drop).
The rabid fox sunning himself next to the green on the North course was joined by his partner who literally brushed me while I was retrieving my ball from a bunker where the foxes had chosen to dig a huge burrow.
Another star for the North East course. It is in far superior shape to the South West. Both could be sweet with a $ 2mil makeover, which is not likely.
There are colorful patrons. Flat brims and rap inspired wardrobes on white dudes are in full effect. My buddy splashed down after a huge drive fell five feet short of land, and an obese bozo in a floppy hat yelled «good shot» as he sped away in his cart. That was immediately follwed by the ranger rushing off after his walkie talkie went off in my backswing and instructed him to handle some groups who were «having words with each other.» That’s how they roll in the Deena.
