Chemung Hills, Howell

We bought this from groupgolfer.com and made the BIG mistage of going on a Sunday.  There was a shower and a graduation party in the clubhouse so the clubhouse was closed for the day and there was no parking! We were behind a foursome who said they understood "golf ready" but definitely didn't...they weren't very good or very polite.  But at least the foursome behind us, who were very good, were understanding about the situation.  Which leads to another complaint...no rangers driving around to keep play moving.  But now to the course...it was not a great course but it was pretty interesting.  It's not called Chemung Hills for nothing...there were lots of hills!  The fairways were in pretty fair condition and the greens were nice, but most were pretty challenging.  There was a decent amount of variety - water, sand and trees.  The course was very women friendly as far as placement of the women's tees.  However some of them were on the fairway and I really don't like that.  The last hole was a really interesting par 3 which we all enjoyed.

The cart girl was around quite a bit.  There was a half way house which wasn't open and a bathroom, which I didn't try.  There were several port-a-potties also which I didn't try either.  We didn't have any food...there really wasn't time - the foursome was right behind us and we didn't want to lose our place.  It was a five hour round, which we really aren't use to!  However, I will try the course again but not on a weekend.
