Good Front, slow play

The front 9 was good. People (staff) were super. The back 9 was poorly designed and the pace of play was slow. There was a fivesome that was setting the pace a few groups in front of us. I thought a marshall would have helped. Some crazy holes on the back including a hole that the fairway is actually a clearing for power poles that are in play…Nuts. If I go back I’ll just play the front 9, it was good.

Small!

Overall course conditions were great in appearance but lacked in layout and size. Many of the holes are stacked on one another and green layouts were poor. Many greens were too steep to stick one close without it rolling out. Good course for the price and definitely a challenge for any golfer.

Local course

This is a fantastic short par 4 course for the money. I live in Cherokee and most prices run from $65-135. Growing up in Winston Salem we had cheap courses available all year round, so finding a course in the mountains that your not paying more for was definitely eye-catching. They always keep the fairways clean and greens taken care off. They punched the tee boxes recently also. Great staff, mechanic helped me jump my battery after the round( left a light on), and always good conversation in the shop. If you don’t know how to play with the wind then this course will kill you. Very windy course with some tighter fairways
