Good value course, bunkers need work

Its a unique tract that used to be 27 holes but they recently sold off 9 for some development... Slowly fixing and repairing the remaining holes. Greens and teeboxes were in really good shape but some fairways and bunkers need some work along with cart paths on the back 9 (old West course). Staff are always great from clubshop to bar to cart handlers. Hopeful with the recent land sales they can polish up the place and bring it up a notch.

Course is in really good shape from tee to green. Hated to see that they closed one of the 9 hole courses. Pace of play today was not great, but you get what you get on the weekends. The gentlemen in the pro shop were great. Really good experience overall.

Good value

If you can get on this course for $50 or less, definitely do it. They have had damage from the hurricane and the fairways, fairway bunkers, and some green side bunkers are obviously under some sort of renovation, but the course is 100% playable and the greens were very well maintained.

Enjoyable Round in the Mountains

Very enjoyable round for me and my wife.

Having played here some over the years, I would have to say that it is not the same as it used to be but not necessarily a bad thing. They have gone from 27 to 18 holes and some of the old buildings could use some sprucing up. The existing 18 holes, though, was in good shape. Lots of good thick grass in the fairways and the greens rolled very nicely. The staff was very welcoming and friendly.

We played at a discounted rate through GolfNow but I would say it’s a very good value, regardless. Highly recommend!

Hendo

Due to several high schools participating in a regional tournament the pace of play was very slow. Totally understandable but tie times should have been adjusted!

Understaffed

Yes, it was a holiday weekend (Friday), but tee time was delayed by 30 minutes. No Marshalls or Starter. There was a random guying hawking balls from the creeks and ponds - Why is he allowed during course play?

The remodeling is stagnant and sucks the life out of what the course could be, it’s former glory.

Great course to play

I’m never disappointed when playing at Etowah Valley. It is probably my favorite course. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and you rarely ever run into any jerks.

Right now, the entire course is cart path only, which is understandable, especially since the damage Hurricane Helene caused to the area. The fairways have been re-seeded and the grass should be up very soon. The greens looked great. Some are a bit fast and will trick you if you don’t read them just right.

The bar is great, and they have a wide selection. Perhaps having live music return would be an added bonus.

Never seen this course in such poor conditions. Fairways were horrible and the sand traps were pathetic.They should of refunded the greens fees.

Very slow play

Started half an hour past our tee time. There was no starter, so groups had to figure it out. Seemed oversold. Took over 2:30 for the front nine. Several bunkers under construction and were mud pits. I'd play elsewhere.

Neglected course

Tee boxes are all weeds, fairways burned out, sand traps dried dirt not sand, sand on all greens and no notice of aeration of greens. Very sad as I used to play here years ago. Bathroom on the course was disgusting, not usable.
