| Golf course is in decent shape. I do believe the golf course is to easy. the new tee boxes and the tee boxes they took out have made the course shorter. They should put the back tee box in on 5 again and use the upper tee on 6. The tee on 15 should come back too. The problem with people is the want to shoot better but not put in the time too. Bittersweet is a great place to get better. It makes you a better golfer and the bite of it is gone for the most part. Bittersweet used to be a monster. That is the way I loved it in high school. To bad to many people just want to swing driver and not learn to hit it correctly. |

| Disappointed. Bald spots make it look like dogs pee-d all over the fairways. Manager assured us the \_spots\_ would be gone in two weeks. Really? Before we played he assured us the course was in \_great\_ condition. BS would be an appropriate abbreviation for Bittersweet. |

| Water on 17 holes. Majority of greens areeither slightly elevated and/or tucked back by water for no necessary reason. Geese all ove the place and so are goose droppings (especially on the greens). They say they have made changes but that_s a crock. New owners/management but same old dump of a course. My advise to everyone is GO ELSEWHERE!!! |

| I played this course all year. The new management has really upgraded the greens and fairways. They were great this year. In the past two years they have made the course play easier in certain areas. This is a challenge golf course that is fun to play.They have moved some tee boxes out of the range of some of the homes that line the course on certain holes.This is the best I have seen this place in years.The low rates this year have helped me enjoy my golf. |

| The second review is the most accurate one, in my opinion. This is definitely a thinking course. You don_t have to pull out the driver on every hole; rather, placement to set up the next shot is more important. Good shots are rewarded, but there is enough margin for errant shots too. Houses do line part of the course, but often only extremetly wayward shots could threaten them. Course was in very good condition when I played (9/5/09) and the only goose droppings I encountered were on the 1st hole. Overall: a good, scenic, challenging course for the money and a friendly staff. |

| not a pretty course. cant hit driver anywhere. houses are too close all over the course. we broke someone_s window and the round ended up costing us $475. not fun. and we heard one of the residents was injured by a golf ball. |

| This golf course is ok except the goose droppings and etc. but this is the golf course for you if you love the game alot, and the goose and water problem won_t matter. |

| this is real nice golf course. |

| Water on 16 of 18 holes but the worst of it is that the course is over run with geese. The fairways and especially the greens are full of goose poop. Greens in general are awful at best due to poor grounds keeping. Owners are barey keeping the place open so they cut back on green care, goose abatement and general upkeep. Go golf elsewhere! |

| Not a fair layout. Often good shots end up rolling off faiways into swamps |

| This course is a shotmaker_s dream. The best part is you get to use a 3-iron off the tee on most holes. I am a 12 handicapper but scored 86....Its a challenging course that keeps you focused on every shot. |
| Golfer: D. Brady Date: 2002-02-06 Rating: |
| Bring your 3 and 4 iron and make sure you hit it dead straight. For the rest of us bring plenty of balls! Too pricy for the frustration. In good shape. |
