Springfield Country Club Inc

So this review is for the golf course only. My friends and I came out here on a cold day, jan 17, nobody was really there at all, probably for the better, it snowed on us during our round! To me the course isn’t thrilling except a few very interesting holes. The conditioning was decent, fairways were clearly defined, the rough was short and wasn’t penal, typical for winter though, summer will be a different deal I’m sure. Greens played about normal for this time of the year, 8.5 on the stimp. Bunkers weren’t maintained but it’s winter, I don’t expect them to be. Overall it was a decent course, 40 $ to walk at this time of the year is a little strong but it is what it is. Like I said, it did begin to snow durning our round (so the review really only stands for the front) and they told us to play on, so we did! They day ended up being a huge hit because of that and one I wont ever forget!

The grass is kind of grown back. Rough is a mess, traps are a mess, greens were aerated so they might be ok when they grow in. They finally wised up and dropped the price. It’s not worth more than 35 bucks so stay away if the price goes up. I can’t stand the attitude of this place. Got stopped by two separate rangers in one round. I’m a 7 handicap I’m not the problem. This place is a beacon for hackers and people who destroy courses but the Rangers don’t say a word to them and instead they stop me claiming I’m beating up the course. People all over the course not raking traps, not fixing divots and slowing up the whole course and they stop me in the middle of shooting a few over par and totally derail my round and my partners. Will not be back. Go to Paxon or cobbs if you’re in the area otherwise you gotta drive up 422 to the good courses.

This course was in really bad shape. most of the fairways were completely burned out and so were a lot of the tee boxes. There was not a drop of water to drink on the course, plus the layout of this course is
careful if your having a cocktail on the porch you might get a hooked shot right in the mush.

GOLF COURSE REVIEW: played this course with some friends on a Sunday midday. Thought the $ 37 fee was a decent low price for a public course — little did I know it would be the worst $ 37 I’ve ever spent. I’ve been playing golf for over 20 years — playing mostly public courses around the Philadelphia area, and never in my life have I seen such a run down crappy course. There wasn’t a single hole with grass on the fairway, I mean that literally. We were playing «plug and place» rules usually only deemed necessary when there’s been a serious rainstorm and the ball plugs in the fairway. We instead played if you hit the fairway, you can pick the ball up and move it to the nearest grass area within 50 ft (50ft!!) and even with that rule, I still threw my ball into the rough most of the time because that was the only grass I could find. I can’t believe Springfield is charging people to play this course, I’d rather have just played in the parking lot. No drinking water anywhere on the course, and the the final kicker, was that the ranger was more concerned about my driving the cart off the path than he was keeping pace of play — when we got to the 14^th tee box — there were 4 groups on waiting to tee off!!! Unreal, can’t believe these people call themselves golf professionals, this was a disgrace to golf clubs everywhere. NEVER PLAY THIS COURSE!!! I’d rather pay $ 200 to play FDR downtown, than ever play this course for free again.

Booked a 7:20 tee time, it had rained lightly the previous night but by the morning it was clear sky’s and a beautiful sunny day. When our group of players arrived we were greeted by another group of players in the parking lot who informed us that the course was closed all day. Our group headed in to see why it would be closed but before we could even reach the entrance to the practice greens an arrogant worker in a black wind breaker walked out and said «Were closed, no golfing» as he pulled the «pro shop this way» sign out of the ground. Not only did we waist our time waking up and buying drinks and food to come here to give them business but the fact that you could be so ignorant to your customers like that and not even provided a simple courtesy phone call is upsetting. Not to mention that they charge $ 50 to play on a course that is 70% dead grass. Course has been on the decline the last 4 years.
After being turned away, made a phone call to Paxon Hallow and got a tee time in 20mins, drove right over and played a full round on a 100 times nicer course for the same price.

Golf course only. It’s a shame but the tees and fairways are dead. Planted Bermuda grass 2 – 3 years ago and it is not growing. Maybe 2016?

This review is specifically about the Thanksgiving buffet at the Springfield CC. I was looking for a traditional thanksgiving dinner. I found some places that offered menus with fancy twists on thanksgiving but Springfield CC sounded like the more traditional turkey day so I went with that. It was right on.
The buffet featured BIG shrimp, three or four types of salad, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, stuffing, turkey, ham, and prime rib (oh yeeeeeah). They had some other stuff too like Mac and cheese and chicken fingers for the kids, mussels marinara, chicken scaloppine, and some other stuff. I enjoyed everything I had. The green beans were surprisingly fantastic. They must’ve had lots of butter but it’s thanksgiving so who cares.
Our waitress Katie was very sweet. I began to feel bad about the staff having to give up thanksgiving with their families to serve my fat ass but they did a great job and were very polite and friendly. Hopefully, they will catch up with their families this weekend.
The desserts were phenomenal. My favorite was a mini cherry cheesecake. I’m not a big dessert eater but I’m a sucker for cheesecake. There was also an ice cream bar with different types of cones, tons of toppings and many types of ice cream.
It was just so well done and I really appreciate that they were doing their jobs in a professional and friendly manner.
Cost was $ 240 for 5 adults and 1 kid, gratuity was included.
If I’m looking for a great holiday meal with no set up, cooking, and clean up, I’ll definitely hit up the Springfield CC again.

Great spot and not your normal Courtyard. Rooms and lobby are nice and a very nice back yard. The only reason I give two stars off is that the server ate one of our slices of pizza. YES! he tried to deliver a pizza with a slice missing. The waitress comp’d the pizza but this really happened. We went there a second night as I had friends staying there and the service was really slow. But nice place during the summer as you can sit outside.

Just want to follow up on previous review left by Allison C. We also had gift cards stolen when we were at this venue. We attended a charity event and bid on a gift basket donated by Wawa. It had 100 dollars worth of gift cards in it. When we picked the basket up the cards were missing. The gift baskets were left unattended while the guests ate dinner in another room. Beware!

Recently helped host my sister’s wedding and reception at Springfield CC. The experience differed greatly from other reviewers on Unilocal.We are a picky family, and our wedding coordinator was amazing; she honestly felt like our personal coordinator whose entire work life was dedicated to only my sister’s wedding.
Springfield CC provides a truly all inclusive wedding. Yes, it is not some boutiquey, trendy place, but for a good price, you are provided with a quality establishment with solid curb appeal, competent staff, a convenient location, and a ton of space.
The attached courtyard marriot makes this a no-​brainer for a large wedding with guests from out of town. Additionally, Tavolas, their restaurant, has a great bar on the inside, and an even bigger outdoor bar with fire-​pits, great views of the course, and easy access to the hotel. Hanging out there after the reception ended was a ton of fun.
I can’t comment on their food as we catered our food.
Everything went on without a hitch. Just like any wedding, you need someone, either your personal planner, or whoever, to stay on top of things to make sure things run smoothly.
If you’re looking to book a wedding reception or event here, don’t be deterred by the negative reviews, we had a great time.

Do not book here. They have a thief or thrives in their staff. We had a phone stolen last night when we were sitting on the deck while attending a wedding. It was the last 15 minutes while tables were be cleared. We also found out that a friend had a birthday there and they had cards stole about 5 months ago. The catering manager was rude and told us one of the guest took it. He didn’t even want to take our info. The phone was immediately turned off because we tried to call it and it went right to VM. Today, no one is returning calls .
The friend who had cards stolen was told be security that their film showed nothing and she got hung up on.
What kind of customer service is this.
Oh and the food was bland. I cook for a living and this is not just sour grapes. The chicken had no flavor, the salad was blah and the vegetable were so underdone a knife hardly went through the squash. The beef was the only thing that was decent.
Buyer beware!

What a disappointment Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

Was here for a funeral about a week or two ago. You had two choices between chicken marsala (Mushrooms…Yuck!) and london broil. I got the london broil… besides for the super long wait, which is understandable when trying to feed that many people, the food was pretty decent. However I did not enjoy the salad. Hopefully I don’t have anymore funerals to go to but if I do, I would not mind coming back here for the luncheon.

I’ve been here before and I thought I had remembered it being good. However, we hosted a luncheon here recently and I was not impressed. First, salads came out and they were pretty bad. I did not enjoy the dressing they had on it and the type of lettuce was crap. I had like two bites. Next, our entrees took pretty long to come out and mine was not good. I got the london broil, while it was edible, it was very chewy and fatty. Not really my forte. I feel that at the price per head of this place, the quality of food should be a lot better. The meal was a 2 star meal, but i’ll give them 3 stars for the following reasons:
— I remember it being better in the past
— Ice Cream for dessert was good (although it’s kinda hard to mess up ice cream)
— open bar was decent
— service people were friendly
Despite all the negative, the general atmosphere/​experience was good. However, I cannot imagine anyone actually wanting to have their wedding at this place unless it is somehow a lot nicer for weddings.

I wish I could give a zero. Went last weekend. They have ALOT of nerve charging $ 50 for a course that looks like the fairways were light on fire! I’ve seen this a lot at Springfield. They seem to be the only course in the area that has this problem. They never apologize for it, they always charge full price and they have rangers all over the course making sure you never get off the cart path. There should be a boycott on this place until they get people in there who know how to run a golf course!

Can’t really say if ever go back to the rink here. It’s very… Thrown together like? If that makes sense? The ice is not taken care of. There is not even a skate break to resurface the ice during the skating sessions there like other places I’ve been too. The skate rentals are just like other places you have a choice between a hockey or figure type skate. Unfortunately though the hockey type skates have a toe stop on then just like the figure skates which is dumb, that’s not a hockey skate. In closing this place is very cheaply put together and ran. Does not fit in with the neighborhood of Springfield and the quality of a business that is owned by a country club. I feel like this would be on the edge of Chester or a crappy inner city rink. I will take my business to Ice works from now on.

One of the worst restaurants that I have been to in years. No taste at all.
Two of the party had veal francaise, one lobster ravioli and one gnocchi
Just blaah!!! Everyone complained about NO taste. So, I guess that I can’t say that it tasted poorly.
Service. Waitress needed a personality. They all looked really tired and they looked like they wanted you to go. We did. Didn’t stay for coffee or desert.
NO MORE!

Golfed here for the first time. I really liked the layout, it was well maintained and the holes were pretty challenging but not too easy. I think it was like $ 45 bucks or somewhere in there.
I cant really agree with the other review. I’m not shopping for cupcakes, a vacation or a hair cut at Great Clips so I can live without a Groupon or a Living Social deal.
For the money the course was great. I can live with that price for what I get.

The lovely wife and I belong to an organization that holds its annual luncheon here almost every year. I’ve been here many times. We’re talking a plated lunch for around 50 or 60 folks. You know the deal. You get a choice of chicken, fish or a vegetarian plate.
Over the years the quality of the food has varied. It’s been back and forth between two and three stars. I’m sad to say mostly two stars. The wait staff has always been fine. For this type of meal this is a two star place.

The course has a very nice layout. Some tough holes, but challenging. My biggest complaint is that last year, even when the weather was very dry, this course was in great shape. This year for some reason the course went bad in August. This is my home course and I wouldn’t even go back.
Another complaint is all other courses give deals or internet bargain tee times but Springfield NEVER does. Senior weekday rates of $ 40 is ridiculous. There are MANY other nicer courses that have rates of $ 30 (or less). And $ 50 for non-​seniors weekday rates is another ridiculous rate. This course in not THAT special.
Springfield needs to get their act together and give some internet deals. Their are too many other courses that give Internet deals EVERYDAY.
i.e. a few courses up the Rt. #422 corridor have $ 17– $ 30 deals all the time.
