Kettle Hills Golf Course

I golfed Kettle Hills last Saturday. This was the first time I've ever played there. I was very impressed with their customer service and the quality of the course. They seem to have created a nice culture there. When I called to make the tee time they were very friendly. I liked the email confirmation as well. They spoke to my father-in-law about his rain checks and they were very friendly to him as well. I think the price was a little bit higher than some but I would pay the few extra bucks because the service was so good and the course was in great shape. You can tell that people care there because the greens looked great. You know the players feel cared for because they seem to do a good job of fixing their ball marks, etc. I overheard one of the employees tell a group "thank you for playing Kettle Hills" as the group rode to the first tee. That was nice! It cost nothing for the employee to do that and it make a huge difference! Some courses just don't understand how easy it is to say something like that and how much better it makes it for the players! One suggestion for the course is to please remind the beverage cart driver to please look around before driving off. Twice she started her cart right in a players backswing. A quieter beverage cart would be nicer if possible as that thing sounds pretty loud coming through. This is my first time playing the course and I would definitely go back because of the great course and the great service. FYI, the course is a bit narrow so bring extra golf balls. I do wish there was a safe way to communicate to the group behind when it’s clear to drive on a few of the shots where you had a blind tee shot. One last thing. It had rained overnight when I was to play the next morning. I called in the morning around 6:15am for my 8:08 tee time. The person answering the phone knew exactly what the cart policy was going to be and he knew the course was open and he knew the shape the course was in. You call some courses and they won’t even answer the phone that early. Nice job Kettle Hills!

We played yesterday and had a great time! The course was in excellent shape. Greens were rolling really good. Friendly staff inside and out. We saw the beverage cart multiple times. The course features rolling terrain with some super fun elevation changes. We'll definitely be back. Management was featuring a drive in movie during twilight for the regulars and families. A testiment to creative ownership. This group pays attention to their customer!

Had a lady starter on 10-8-2017....very rude. Had a tee time set up for 2 players and got to the starter and she said she was going to pair us with another group of two a couple of tee times ahead of us because they were all backed up. I asked if I could just wait for our normal tee time because the others were apparently heavy smokers...nothing against anyone but it physically affects me and gives me one major headache. I explained that to her and she said, too bad...you are outside and we have the right to do this. I explained again that it seemed to me there were a lot of twosomes out there and I would prefer to wait for my normal tee time. She only relented when I finally said that I would just leave then. Kettle Hills...suggestion, find a better starter and get a ranger out there if you are having trouble with slow play.

A variety of great layouts on each nine hole experience. The most prominent thing about this place is the ownership. The Zimmerman's (owners) attitude toward their employees reflects on the way they treat each and every golfer that visit. Best overall experience I've had in the 20 plus years and 50 plus courses I've played. Excellent to say the least!

We held our church golf tournament here this year and were pleased with: 1) condition of the course; 2) courtesy and professionalism of the staff; and 3) help with setting up the tournament and use of facilities. We plan to be back next year.
