Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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.
Sprinklers running on the green
I had to skip three holes because sprinklers on or four and five players playing together
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.
Rain kills all
It was GREAT until mother nature called my round 9 holes short.
Very Hilly
This course will make you use every shot in the book ,Great course to improve and work on uneven lies of ball striking.
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.
FGC
Would not pay more than $10. Staff was friendly, course was similiar to playing in someone's backyard.
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.
First time and last
Long grass, no sand bunker, tee box as thick as rough and "fairway", green slushy and wet
Not bad for the money
The course overall is average it does have a few challenges and we have fun when we play here. The biggest complaint are the members cutting in where ever they want and have no consideration for the people that have played the holes in order. These peop[le have no consideration for their fellow golfers.
decient for the cheap price
if you want cheap practice coming our of the rough this is the course to play fairways still look like everyones back yard cant tell if your on them or in the rough greens were little better this year but still play very slow due to grass being cut so high. course still gets backed up very quickly but im sure that's due to the 4.50 per round deal I got on golf now. so for the price and 18 w a cart yes ill go back I cant seem to hit fairways anyway so its great practice for me to get out of trouble.
