Course Highlights
The clever 9-hole hybrid layout plays as a full 18 by switching tee boxes, offering challenging doglegs, bunkering, and varying elevations. Exceptionally friendly staff, a modern clubhouse with a popular restaurant, and strong value make this a well-rounded destination.

Nice hybrid course and reasonable

Facility was very nice and looked newly renovated or built. The staff was extremely friendly. The course was fun to play and had interesting layout on some holes. It was a hybrid 9 hole course wo if you do 18, you change the t box location is what we were told. We only played 9. My only complaint would be how fast the greens were. On one hole, I chipped onto the green for what looked like a great shot. The ball slowly rolled forward towards the pin, only to curve right, then to the fringe and all the way back down to my feet. Exactly where I chipped from. Other holes the ball just would not grab. Very frustrating. Other than the greens, it was a fun course.

The course has suffered for a new clubhouse

It’s just my opinion but as nice as the new clubhouse is, the course has gone downhill. Sand for grass on tee boxes, lumpy greens that don’t track smooth and the fairways with grass clipping moguls. The staff was very nice though!

A day at Pickens local course.

My normal group was not playing today at another course. So it had been a couple years since I played there. Was fortunate enough to pair up with some younger ex-servicemen who were calling me Pops by the end of the

round. Enjoyed their company. They have a new clubhouse and are working on a new par 3 course. I wonder if it will be 3 holes with 3 different tees?! You play the same 9 holes from different tees on their course.

Greens were in good condition. Fairways average but little grass growing yet. If it wasn't for my partners help i could have been lost to what tee i used as a senior. Pretty expensive for a couple beers. I'd consider it a fall back course. No tee time or other arrangements and want to play a round. All and all worth playing at times.

A pleasant surprise

This was my first time playing this course. The clubhouse is absolutely beautiful and the staff was very friendly. The food was really good as well.

As for the course, I was a little leery playing a 9-hole course, but the hybrid concept was very enjoyable. The layout of the course was great and the pace of play was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back.

Was definitely NOT worth the 50 minute ride

This course is only 9 holes. You drive around twice to play 18. Plus the entire place is under construction and is a complete mess. Grass clippings clumped up everywhere and just an over all disappointment

Fun Option To Play

A cool 9 Hole course that you play twice from different tee boxes. It is a lot of fun and not sure how they control play since we came off 9 to start again and there were two groups in front of us that were not there before. First nine were quick and we played them in less than 90 minutes. Second nine took over two hours but was still enjoyable. They did have some course work going on that was probably not a good idea while play was going on at the same time. But overall the staff was amiable and accommodating. We will play again when traveling through.
