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

Nice, easy course

Played with a guy and his wife and brother. Nice local people who were happy to show me the blind drives etc (there were a few). Started out very cold but warmed up.

Nice course, very short and in pretty good shape. Some good views of the lake.

Bring a bookto read

Although the course is short, there are several holes that make for a great challenge. Fairways a little damp and greens still slow from past rain. Biggest problem is that the course attracts that either don't understand letting faster players play through or just don't care. a drive through by a marshall every hour or so could remedy this inconvenience. I had to wait on every shot and putt of the twosome I was following. one of them could barely get the balll off from the tee box but would wait until the group on the green ahead of him was done putting, even tho he was at least 200yd out. You get the picture.

Great course

Went and played here around 12pm and had no one in front of me. The fairways were well kept and the greens were taken care of as best as they can due to the weather lately. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, best bang for your buck
