Good Challenge for Above Average Golfers.
We found this to be a Scenic Course with a good layout. Most holes required a tee shot into a narrow fairway. If our shots
ended up in the rough near the fairway or near the green, our golfballs would disappear into the deep rough. We had to spend too much time looking for balls not two yards into the rough, sometimes you had to step on a ball to find it. The greens held
shots into it and putted consistent speed. Well worth the Golf Now Price.
A muddy sandy wreck
Only paid $18 through golfnow.com. That was the only thing good about it. They had just aerated and sanded. The sand was in uneven piles all over the greens. Drainage is poor. I should have known better. Just saw a story about Rock Barn losing greens to flooding. Not the case here. Just a lot of fairways that were a mess.
The rough's growing way too well and is cut too high. It's just not fair to hit a drive, know it's in play, and still not be able to find it.
Why did I go there? I must have been thinking about a different course.
Great elevation changes
The course was extremely wet since there had been intense rains over the recent weeks. It played long and soggy. The holes located on the "bottom lands" were very wet and cart path only while we were there. I liked the hole layouts and the variety of holes and would love to play it in a dryer environment.
Excellent Course, Friendly Staff
Probably the best golf course in the statesville area. Price is reasonable even on weekends. Course is very well maintained and you can tell they take pride in how their course looks. Wish I could find more places like this.
This particular course has improved in the past year.
I have been going to this course for the past few years and I have seen great improvements in all aspects. The clubhouse is beautiful and well maintained. The course is also very well maintained.
Pretty course in nice area.
Fun course to play. Depending on tees can play differently. Greens were quick but a little bumpy. Very hard so they were difficult to hold and/or even hit close chip shots. Was pleased to see that the fallen leaves had been cleaned up as the last time there they hadn't been.
Over-all, good course and a very good value.
