Chatuge Shores Golf Course

Love the Hayesville area, and really wanted to like this course. I’m a member at a public course. Don’t expect country club amenities. The staff was friendly here, as were the people we encountered. Definitely the good ole boy crowd, which I love. My best description of this course, however, is goat farm minus the goats. Patchy, infected greens that were essentially like putting on a glass Plinko board. Grass clippings all over the fairways and even the parking lot. Fairways are the rough on a higher quality course, their rough is pasture grass above your ankles. Very narrow in places which added a bit more challenge, otherwise very simplistic for higher handicaps. This place could be much nicer with some turf management expertise and general landscape management. FOR SURE not worth $60 a person. Unfortunately in such bad shape that we were glad to get rained out on 8 and did not ask for a rain check for the back 9. GolfNow’s photo size requirements are too small for iPhone photos.

Just forgiving enough for a once a week player. The course is beautiful! The greens are fast and challenging. The fairways are nice and wide. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. I can't think of anything negative. It's an older course. We loved it!

The entire front 9 and part of the back 9 should be considered ground under repair. I've played it several times over several years and this is the worse condition I have ever seen it in.

Greens are in terrible shape and they are mowing, but poorly. It's sad as the course has a really good layout could be special.

I loved the layout and scenery! Some of the greens were in poor shape, but most were very good. Great, friendly staff! Unfortunately snack bar/ restaurant had been closed for quite a while. Food and drink were limited to cans, bottles, and packaged snacks.

PS: Don't follow Google directions from Franklin. Turn directly off Rt 69. Only about a half mile. Weaving through the neighborhoods was scenic, but not the easiest route.

Had a great day except for the heat, but that's summertime for you. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly. Pace if play way excellent. The only downside was a few of the greens were in rough shape and all were kind of baked out. They were also slow for the thinnest of the grass. Fairways were in good shape.

Aside from greens 1 & 18, the greens were in good shape. The layout of the course makes for a really fun golf course, not long, mostly forgiving, with a few challenging holes. The maintenance crew was working hard throughout the course, and were very polite and showed etiquette throughout our round. They just do not appear to have the equipment or the crew to maintain the golf course to the level it could/should be.

Keep greens looking good. First couple had some burn marks rest were fine. Imply to all golfers to please repair your ball marks

It took an hour and 50 minutes to play six holes. We went to the club house and asked about getting a marshal to check on the pace and were assured it was being taken care of since we were the third group to complain. Pace did not pick up and after 12 holes we were at the 4 hour mark and gave up.

I wanted to beat the heat so I booked a 7:37am tee time. I arrived at 7am, hit some range balls and off I went.

It was wet--but of course it was at 7:37am. The tee boxes were not bricks--I didn't break one tee. Greens were nice and consistent.

I was from out of town and wanted to play somewhere new. Everyone was nice and I thought it was an enjoyable course!

Staff was great. Course had nice greens, other areas were average or worse. Layout was pretty fun. Greens were soft and receptive but difficult to read and get the speed right. I saw a 6, a 5 of.course no marshal. I do have to say the groups I came up on as a single let me right through. Overall I had fun, no frills for $40.
