For an older municipal 9 hole course it was a pleasant surprise. It was a bargain at $17 for 9 holes and a cart. The course was in very good shape considering the lack of rain the last few weeks. Fairways were cut tight. The greens rolled fairly quick, and at 3,299 yards for 9 holes from the tips it provided plenty of challenge. The par 5, 8th at 601, even though down hill, still requires 3 solid shots to reach the green. Service in the clubhouse and starter was friendly, and the mtce folks working on the course were curteous. My only suggestion would be to trim back 1 very large tree on hole 1. It blocks the entire middle and left green if more than 100 yards out you have to hit a very low shot, 15 yards high at most, or a significant draw/hook if a righty.

My favorite municipal course. I purchased the veteran's membership and play as often as I can. There is a new pro and the course is in good shape. A few greens need work. There are some charming and challenging holes including the 605 yd 8th. Local tip, play the 9th from the tee box in the way back and you get another incredible play. Arnold Palmer played here often, so that says something. The staff are very friendly. The food is limited to hot dogs and microwavable fare, with no grill. There's no bar, but you can purchase alcoholic beverages M-Sat. By far the best bang for the buck.

Well taken care of course....super challenging. Played 18 was nice to know what you were getting into the second time around

No one was there to open the course . Waited 30 minutes then left. Edit 1- I can completely understand your reasons for not opening. We played down the street at Mahoning and it was a mess. My frustration is that there is not signage stating you are not opened. The only sign indicator is that you open April 1st. It would be nice to have an indication starting something along the lines of the flags not being out that you’re not open.

The course is in great shape and cheaply priced. It's attracting too many people. The rangers don't enforce anything and golf etiquette does not exist at Stambaugh. If you enjoy playing behind 6-somes, random people just jumping Infront of you, waiting on old timers dropping 10 balls in your fairway just before you tee off or people intentionally hitting into you, this is the course for you.
