Rating 33.5

Franklin Golf Course is a player-friendly, nine-hole course that is perfect for beginners. At 2,559 yards from the tips, the course plays to a par of 35. While the layout is not exactly a challenge, it does provide a quick round that is good for some practice. The bentgrass greens are well-maintained and putt true. There is no water on the course but there are a few strategically placed bunkers throughout. The hazards are nothing too serious though. The traditional layout has remained largely unchanged since opening in 1941. The golf course easily accommodates those who are new to the game but seasoned players looking for a challenging round will have to go elsewhere though the affordable rates are enough to appeal to any skill level.

Arrived at 0755 for our 0800 tee time, but not one employee was present, doors locked. Waited for 35 minutes, still no employee showed up, ended up leaving. Won’t try this course again.

The fairways are dead

This course is in such horrible shape this year. There is hardly any green grass in the fairways. There doesn't seem to be any type of course maintenance going on. The greens are so slow is like putting through mud. The one upside is if you hit off the fairways you don't lose your ball because there's no grass to hide it. I hope they get the course in better shape soon or I don't think I'll be back.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Need's a little help

A hilly, cavernous terrain. Would be near impossible to walk. Easy to get lost. Tee boxes and greens hard to find. It appears a bit run down..but the keep it mowed and there is very little out-of-bounds.

Wouldn't consider it a course

There was no fairways, no tee boxes. There was only eleven holes! To play eighteen you play holes 2-9 twice. The carts were tore up. Who ever made this golf course had one giant flaw in the design. Making you play holes over again just gives you more opportunity to slow the pace of by running into people. Don't waste your money!! I would rather play putt putt.

Fun 9 hole course

This course was fun. The greens were slow but very well kept. The fairways are hilly and needing some good mowing but lately we've had a lot of rain. Staff was friendly and accommodating. This course was great for an outing with the kids. We had a lot of fun. Great value.
