Sportsman's Golf Course

Layout was nice. Mature course tucked up to a mountain ridge. Greens were very good. Small targets but rolled true. I live about an hour away with many many courses to choose from and I'll be back.

Lady at Counter was great, even left us get off early Course was in nice shape, but traps were a few drop.

I haven't played at sportsman's for a few years, and it was much as I remembered. The course was in fairly decent condition, the greens were probably the best part. Snack bar and pro shop staff we're very friendly and accommodating, but as usual there was the unnecessary and rude run in with the nasty woman who runs the course. Should have known that would have happened here 🙄. I wasn't aware that the grass areas near the pavilion were so important. Every outing I've been to there, carts are all over the place in that area but I was told very sharply to "get off the grass" when I was looking for a porta john. That's why we stopped having our outing there years ago, due to her attitude! I'm not the only person I know who avoids Sportsman's due to her! Unfortunately, that hasn't changed either!

Course is in the best shape in years.

I’ve played this course since I was a kid!

I’ve seen the major changes over the years.

There was major investment in the mid 1990’s.

Course was in great shape for 20 years!

But now… it’s obvious that nobody is setting up the mowers, maintaining the reels and bed knives!

This is basic stuff that should be happening daily, monthly etc….

Nobody has maintained the bunkers!

The course obviously doesn’t have a backhoe for reconstruction and drainage purposes!

There is zero drainage management happening!

Piles of wood everywhere - stacked for some reason when it could just be thrown into the nearby woods!

And homemade signs everywhere!!!!

These people are absolutely clueless about the basics of maintenance on a golf course!!!!

There’s no way they are doing the amount of rounds that they have done in the past!

The actual owners should take inventory of that.

Corporate owners who have zero interest- and an absolutely clueless management is a bad combination that will ultimately move this once beautiful course to the same fate of Blue Ridge!

They have the absolute worst carts I’ve ever seen I couldn’t get one that actually worked struggled getting it to move the first 9 holes swapped for another that was even worse for the back 9 there was goose crap all over 3 of the greens and fairways I will never play there again

Course is amazing, and the staff are outstanding.

Greens are challenging, a bit soft but still great.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.

I will be back to play again in the future.

Took 15 minutes to check in. The girl behind the counter was more interested in answering the phone than checking people in. Then the ranger was yelling at us to hurry up after they made us late. Course was in terrible shape, had trees every where that they cut up but never bothered to remove. Harassed by the ranger the whole round. I have not played this course in 2 years… mostly because of how the staff conducts themselves. They are on some sort of power trip and get off on harassing the golfers on their course. I’ve read most of the reviews on this golf course and 4 out of 5 complain about the staff and how unfriendly they are. Then the owner post some justification as to her action. They need to ask themselves are all the golfers on the their golf course the problem or are they the problem.

Loved the morning pace of play, for a Saturday it was consistent.

Haven't played here in years. Pleasantly surprised ,course was in great shape and greens weren't bad.
