classic golf course.

Making good decisions on what shot to play is an important element while playing this course. This a mature and somewhat tight course to play. I enjoy the challenges of this course and have always made it part of my courses to play every season.

Good Challenge

I haven't played here in quite some time and I will definately add it to the rotation. The holes are all very different and offer their own challenges. My only complaint would be the length of the grass on the fairways and tee boxes. They seemed a little to long for a fairway and tee box.

This course is great for all handicaps.

We hadn't played here for 2 years. The course was in really good conditions. Disappointed in pace of play due to slow group ahead and a couple bad rain delays. We only played 16 holes. I feel it wasn't course fault. We will book tee-times there again this summer.

Good course Great Value

Greens in pretty good shape, course is challenging and a few elevated teeboxes which every golfer loves. Unique layout that is fun to tryout. It's not amazing but it is a nice course and one of the better values in town.

A VERY challenging course.

Coffin is an under-appreciated gem of a course. It has some rough edges (pun intended), but its condition has steadily improved over the last few years thanks to the efforts of the present management. It has water, bunkers, dramatic changes in elevation, spectacular old-growth trees, and well-guarded and undulating greens. Although it does still need some work to be as good as it could be, it is easily among the best overall courses in the area...honestly, a treasure the City can be proud of. It WILL test of your game. Actually, it can kick your butt, and the price is quite reasonable. Highly recommended.

find a better grounds crew

This is a fairly pricey coarse for the shape it is in. About 2/3 of the greens have giant patches all over them. They are all loaded with ball marks as well. The grass was not well cut and weeds were everywhere in the rough and fairways. For what the charge you think they could afford some broadleaf weed spray or maybe gas for a lawn mower. Its sad too because it has a great location and it used to be in good shape but not anymore. Don't go unless its real cheap.

Very nice course. Yard markings appear to be right on.

The only issue we had is the foursome ahead of us that was very slow. That slowed our play time down as well as those behind us. Most courses need to get rangers out there and get these folks to speed up or go play tennis.

challenging course with undulating greens!

Course was played on a Sunday evening. Not many other golfers on the course after 5:30pm. Course is in really good shape; no bald areas and the fairways seem to be free of any water damage. This was evidenced by what appears to be a modified or updated drainage system. The insects were definitely and issue -so bring loads of bug spray/cream etc., -because water and OB areas are a plenty. Rough in most areas was thick and extremely tough to put the ball close at times... in essence course is in mid-summer condition minus any draught. The layout/design on a few holes seems more suited or favorable to scratch golfers, but the challenge was welcomed. Definitely would play here again.

Poor design- narrow fairways - slow greens - terrible shape- will never go back.

Unbelievably poor shape. A couple of the fairways were non-existent.

worst bunkers i've seen all year

went through golfnow.com for tee time there was I spot left and I got it . showed up at course and the three guys I was supposed to play with brought an extra so they let them go out as a foursome kinda leaving me stranded, I didn't want to play alone so I waited and was paired with another threesome, I played terrible but had a great time playing because of my playing partners. the bunkers at this course are absolutely horrible, mostly mud and rocks, bunker play was hit and hope
probably won't go back this year unless exceptionally great deal

Great day at a icon of a course

Returned after a few years to find a great course, scoring was tough but not the course's fault. Will be back to play in the near future. Tremendous value.
