I book a online tee time at 9:54 am on Tuesday morning for Sunday the 17th for a twosome. called back on Wednesday to book a foursome for 11:15am for Sunday. Saturday my son and his buddy backout, called course and told them we only will be twosome, they said you have to pay for two rain checks. I arrived at course and ask starter any twosome going out he said yes at 11:33 I said we will move back so we don't have to pay for rainchecks the pro shop employee said no. I didn't understand I said bulls***. The employee said we don't want your business and refunded my money 2 players and two rainchecks. I said we play here 10 rounds a year and 5 a year at Bella Vista. I will never play Mainland or Bella Vista again! I also did a group text to 16 golf buddies to tell them and my son did a group text to his 20 golfing buddies! Frank Bertucci read more

My sister and I used to play here weekly but have not been going back past 2 years. Treat woman players as inferior, prices are ridiculous and now they won't take reservations for 2 people in the mornings. Greens and grounds are poorly kept. Food in resturant is good. read more

In truth, the course and its employees are much better than most of the reviews posted on this site. The greens had some unrepaired ball marks and the tee boxes had multiple broken tees on them. Both things are indicative of players who do not respect the golf course. For the money, it is well worth playing. read more

Course was fine. The ranger and starter were rude angry people. The ranger came up to us at hole 8 and said "Hey! YOU ARE 10 MINUTES BEHIND PACE!" But he could clearly see there were two foursomes in front of us that we were waiting for at each shot. This jerk then saw my face and said "I am telling everyone, not just the front group". After the round, I told the two kiddos in the pro shop about this guys poor attitude and they just said "noted." Don't play here unless you want rude people to ruin your round. read more

Course was in awful shape and we had to wait for 20 minutes past our tee time to get a cart. Not a great experience. Definitely won't be back. read more

Arrived at the facility approximately 1/2 hour before our tee time. We immediately went to the pro shop. It was clear that the management has changed. There were ,2 men in the shop seemed to feed off each other as to who could be the most rude and condescending. Judging by the other reviews this is not an isolated instance. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this course. read more

Golf course is great, it's well maintained and it's easy to book a tee time online. However, the older man maintenance man that is at the starter and in control of the carts is not friendly. Our tee time was 2:33, we pulled up to joke 1 at 2:30 and he commented that we were late. But he said we had to wait anyway, we didn't tee off until 2:35. When we were finished he came down to our car and said "you need to hurry up we have to go" as we were taking our bags off the cart. We respectfully took our clubs off the cart however, 3 groups of 2 came in behind us proving we were not holding them up. Disappointing experience with that employee but overall a good golf course. read more

Arrived at the course with high hopes and was immediately met with an incredibly sexist and rude "Ranger Rick". He made sexist comments towards the female in our group as well as judgmental and disparaging comments towards the 3 men. We will not be spending our money here anymore due to the lack of respect they have towards patrons. While the course was challenging, having to playing anxiously under the watchful eye of "Ranger Rick" did not make it better. read more

My son is a beginner golfer and we have been playing this course over the last several weeks. Everyone that works here is very personable, friendly, and professional. The golf pro Lamar Saxon runs a tight course and his team goes above and beyond to make people feel welcome. The fairways and greens are well maintained and even when busy it doesn't feel rushed. Finally they have a beverage/snack cart that goes around, which is very convenient. Overall this is our favorite course and we always looks forward to playing! As an added bonus the restaurant is great, however that is another review for another time! read more

Well, our food was good and just as we ordered. However, service was very slow and lacking. A runner delivered our meal and we never saw the waitress again until we were done eating. Never checked to see if things were okay, or if we needed anything. I felt she was more interested in her tables in the other room who ordered alcohol. She was running drinks for them the whole time. read more

I have run large golf outings for over 25 years in the Philadelphia area. And I have hosted prior events at Mainland maybe 15-20 years ago. Given the current ownership and management, I strongly recommend you stay away. Poor service and communication across the board. read more

Had a very negative experience here. First the man at the front desk in the pro shop was very rude and unwilling to help with our tee time because the course was completely over booked. On the website you are told they enforce a strict 4 hour and 15 minute round it took my group 5 hours and 45 minutes to complete ours. Other golfers were extremely disrespectful and even threatened my group because we wouldn't hit up on a group. Management needs to step it up and take some initiative and get people moving. Course conditions were okay most tee boxes were nice and fairways solid but every single green was a different speed with pin placements that were completely unacceptable for a weekend with more then 300 tee times. Won't be coming back. read more

Pre paid for a Saturday round and had a family emergency happen on the way over to the course. When we arrived the staff at the course was very rude and refused to issue us a refund, despite an emergency situation and us not being able to play. The manager gave me rain checks which he then voided after we wrote them a bad review. Extremely unprofessional organization. read more

Tried to play this course. While showing up I was greeted by one of the most rude "rangers" I've ever met. We were 3 minutes past our tee time and he proceeded to tell me doesn't look like I'll get to play till an hour later. Out of the 100's of courses I've played this one has the most Ill mannered staff I've ever encountered. If you want a fun day at the course I don't recommend this place at all. Have fun with Ranger Rick. read more

$50 to play in 95 degree heat with ZERO water coolers on the course, only to see the Oasis of the Turn Shed ahead. Annnd then that was closed at 3pm on a Wednesday Afternoon. So, won't be coming back here anytime soon...I'll spend my money at a track that values their customers. Might want to check with your Insurance company on the wisdom of not proper hydration on one of the warmer days of the year. Oh...and the sand traps full of rocks read more

Mainland Golf Course has the most rude, ignorant, and guileful employees and has the poorest run management considering the course is subpar. Before arrival, we called in advance to find out the purchase price of a round of 18 holes. The employee told us that the price for a round of 18 holes would be around 40-45 dollars. After arrival, they had charged us an extra 10$ per person. We called, and told them that we spoke with someone on the phone AND checked the website prior to playing the course. Not only did they LIE on the phone... BUT WHEN WE CALLED TO CONFRONT THEM THEY SAID "UH...ok HOLDON" and hung up, proceeded to CHANGE the website rates from 45$ to 56$ and thought we would not notice. This place is run by absolute morons who have it coming for them. read more

Great course! Lamar took care of us in pro shop. Definitely recommend this course during all season. Well kept

My husband and I Were in this area and "yelp" this place as we were starving. Never would have found it otherwise. Man,we were so glad we did! I am a "long island ice tea expert". And this was one of the best I have ever had. We had the turkey Reuben. Excellent! French fries were fresh and yummiest as well. Without hesitation, I would recommend The Mainland Golf Course Grill. Great "long island ice tea". Food was fresh and excellent. Would not hesitate to stop again. read more

This course provided my group of friends a great experience at our first annual scramble outing. The staff was very helpful, and excited to accommodate our group. We are looking forward to many more round here in the future. read more

This course is terrible. It's small and everything is on top of itself. You must play a 6 hour round because the greedy ownership packs you in. You will be charged rates as if the course is nice, however don't be confused it is municipal level golf at best. You get yelled at for not driving 90 degress enough, but don't worry you can be as slow as you want and no one will speed you up. Did I mention it's too overpriced? Seriously if you respect yourself or the game of golf stay away Oh and while waiting for my food at the turn the cart girl and snack shack lady discussed at length how awful the amount of Asian people is on the course today. I guess if you love racism you will love this course read more

Played here in late April 2016. I really enjoyed the round. I was a single and they had just had a 20 player outing go out. The starter sent me off the back first and it was perfect. No issues with pace of play. It's a tough course to walk...lots of hills to hike, but I wanted the exercise, so that was no issue. Several challenging holes. read more

I've played here about 10 times. The course is great except for the lack of bathrooms on the course. The beer cart staff and the 9th hole shack are fantastic and very kind. The ranger we had today is the reason I am giving three stars. I will not pay $54 to be harassed by the ranger for playing on pace and leaving a club at the green. Respectively, his comments were, "are you playing 40 holes? Pick it up." And "how can you lose a club?" I don't need the ranger. Id rather pay $75 elsewhere for a ranger who will help me find a club. I will reluctantly go back because the course is well kept and the service staff is great but I was done with the ranger. read more

Nice little course. As mentioned in other reviews the holes are definitely on top of each other. You will hear a lot of "FORE!!" and the gentle thump of a ball in your general area. But lets be honest its a public course and that happens at most of them. Regardless of what people tell you or themselves...most of us out there on a weekend are shooting in the 90s-100s. For some reason I always have a tough time here. For me the course never lets me get "comfortable." Thats not a negative on the course...more a negative on my game. Last time I played here the rough was deep and still soaked with morning dew which made getting out very tough. Green are in decent shape and I've never had an problem with pace of play. I'll be back. read more

never heard of not being able to cancel a reservation 4 days in advance. we made reservations for golf and food on St Pattys day, this Saturday. we called Tuesday to cancel due to cold forecast. we were told we could not and since we had used a credit card to hold them, we would be billed. unbelievable, not even 5 star restaurants and hotels do this, and most need only 24 hr notice.. read more
