The Challenge Golf Club

This course is both fair and difficult so if you have a game and the desire to test it, this course is GREAT. Played from the tips but it appears to have a player friendly version when you move forward if you show up with some not so skilled guests to keep it all fair and balanced. The greens were in good shape and cared for could be a little faster but it has been raining every day for weeks so in a dry day they could be perfect I don't know as it rained while we were playing as well.

If you are in the state you really need to try this track!!!

I like the course a lot.
That being said, 2 negatives are:
The rough is cut a bit too high causing slower play and undue difficulty. The course can stand on it's own with moderate rough that the average player could advance his ball out of a little better.

Also, Someone decided that it was more important to build a few houses rather than have a practice range, so they closed the range and built some houses in that area.
No hitting balls before the round (unless you count hitting off a mat and into a net)

BUT no driving range- would have been nice to know that at time of booking

It is important that your tee shot find the fairway on this course. Requires great shot making, plays a little tight. if you do miss the fairway, put another ball in play, you will not find your ball.

But the course is fair, in very good condition, the greens are the best they have been in the past two years. Never any hassle to play this course.

Only real dislike was a 212 yard par 3 (17th). If you see this hole, you will know what I mean. For a hole of that length, should be a little less trouble if you miss.

must play great layout bring your a game to this course you will need it

This course challenges you plenty from the blue or the gold tees. Hit is straight, chance of finding balls that are sprayed are small. Lots of blind shots, but on short holes, so it makes it fun!

I love this course, the conditions were good, well maintained. Number 18 is always a challenge! The course played slow due to pretty weather and a number of players on the course. There are no bathrooms on the course, just port a potties, which had roaches crawling around on the seat! Not ideal situation for ladies. Other than that, it is a great course to play.

I found the course to be very playable, and in excellent condition. The course is mostly secluded except for a green and a tee box where you can see I-85. All-in-all, a very enjoyable day.

I would like to see a rating for course condintion between maintained and pristine. Maintained seems to indicate doing the bare minimum of maintenance and this couse was better than that, though not pristine.

The course was in overall good condition and played well. There were a few holes, seeing as how I was playing the course for the first time, were I would like to either see a layout on the score card or on the hole sign. There were a couple of holes that needed some maintenance but overall good for the money.

The course was in great condition
Considering the number of players on the course.
The greens were also in good condition. The ball was rolling true.

This course never fails to satisfy. The greens rolled perfect, and no matter which tees you hit from, it hold true to its name... The Challenge. Hole 9 fairway is under repair, and was the only fairway the was iffy. Always a pleasure to swing here!

First time playing this course and we only played 9 holes, but we were impressed. The course is challenging, but not unforgiving so long as you don't make a bad mistake. Mostly ample fairways that will may you pay if you miss badly by having to deal with steep terrain, water or woods. Though the course was obviously full, only the party ahead and behind were evident due to the layout of the course, so you have the feeling of not being on a busy course. Good price and highly recommended.

Had a great rate via Golfnow. Friday afternoon and course was not busy so pace of play was no issue. Course was in nice shape except for 9th fairway (bumpy, sporadic growth) and various bunkers. Some were water-filled and other were just plain in rough shape. Others were not raked by rude golfers which is no fault of the course. Greens rolled nicely.

This course is in the best shape in years. Always loved it, now it looks great.

Was a great value and for the GolfNow deal of $18, was well worth the price. I would return again, as the course has a nice layout and is truly 'challenging'.

Course in excellent shape other than greens aerated a few weeks ago but did not affect play.... Could not beat the price and time of day i played. Would recommend this golf course and GolfNow to everyone. In fact i did that day...

Played 18 here yesterday and had a great time. We were able to play rather quickly and enjoyed the course layout and style. The greens were freshly aerated and sanded, which made putting difficult to say the least and led to quite a few "odd" rolls of the ball. Outside of that, the course was quite a lot of fun to play and offered a good opportunity on several holes to take advantage of some risk shots without too much penalty.

This is a fantastic layout. The day we played, the greens had been aerated 2 weeks prior and the course was wet due to overnight rain. So, the conditions were less than ideal but probably not indicative of the course under normal conditions. We are looking forward to returning on a dry, summer day!

Great deals in the snack bar - a six pack for $11.25.

i've played this course several times,but this visit was just ok. The course seemed neglected with attention needed to the fairways and tee boxes. The course also was aerating the greens which didn't help its cause and that was not mentioned on the site.I will probably play there again, but hope next time it's in better shape.
