Good for the price
Even though it was still under construction it was a lot of fun and you could tell they are putting some love into it.
Very enjoyable!
The course has been under construction/improvement for a couple of years now, and it is very much a positive work in progress.
The layout of the course is very challenging with the blind curves, hills, valleys, slopes, 60’s/70’s era fairway widths and slow rolling greens. You will definitely be doing mental calculations plotting your route throughout the course instead of just slamming long drives down range.
The cart paths are still in rough condition, but it is understandable with the construction. The carts are current production with GPS screens. The putting green is moderately small, but big enough to warm up your putter and get the green speed down before play begins.
I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and will definitely be returning again. I look forward to seeing it once all of the work has been completed.
Don't Play
Course is under serious repairs but besides that, the front 9 which is all we played since we hated it and quit after that is just a bad track. We don't know how the back 9 is like but if they are anything like the fromt 9, it would be bad too.
Will Not Be Returning
Clubhouse didn’t have ANY pencils for the scorecard. Major backlog with no starter put us behind schedule before we even teed off. The foursome in front of us paid no attention to anyone behind them & wouldn’t allow us to play through. After 5-1/2 agonizing holes we finally just drove around them. Two holes on the course were under renovation (no one told us this & still paid full price). One of those “holes” was 78 yards. You literally were putting on a. Fairway on both of those.
The only thing okay were the golf carts.
I wish I could give this 0/5 stars it was horrible. Will not be returning and will tell all my friends to give business elsewhere.
Slow
Had groups of six or more playing together. Course is closed in section 13 is not there at all now. Got cut back through everyone.
Good shape, will be really good after construction
Haven’t played here in 2 years. Course is in better shape than before. Will really be nice once all the construction is done. Played early in the morning so pace of play was fine.
Palmetto Hills
Course was in good shape, a couple of holes were make shift holes but other than that it was good
Palmetto Hills
Course was in decent shape, they were doing a work to the course but overall I enjoyed the round
Course will be great when finished
Was very surprised at the quality of the course. When construction is finished and all holes are playable it will be awesome!
Great value
They are doing a ton of work on the course and I’m hoping that the fees don’t go up too much
Best ball with 2 golfers
great course, super fun very beautiful Mountain View while golfing. I know they were doing some construction but a couple greens needed some HEAVY attention. Other than a couple greens not being the best everything thing else was great. (Oh they definitely need to hire a cook and get the snack bar going I’ll bet they would make a killing selling sandwiches there.)
Improvement in progress
Construction around the course leaves less than desirable conditions on some holes.
Patchy greens on some holes.
Can’t fix divots as the refill cans are always empty.
Now, the good:
A challenging course with curves, doglegs, and changes in elevation.
Slow rolling greens complete the 70-80’s feel of the course.
I always enjoy my time here.
Course Under Construction
I should have taken some pictures looking back, but golfer beware: if you are playing this course in the next 1-3 weeks the greens were just aerated and three holes (one being the signature 9th) are shortened/modified. The course did not bother to put the aeration notice on GolfNow and I went there expecting a solid to awesome round of golf based on the pictures and reviews on the app. What I found were backhoes, a fairway of red dirt and mud, a large timber burn pile, and greens that were simply unplayable. Maybe I should have called the course ahead of time but I was just traveling to the area and didn’t experience anything like this at the other three courses I played on my trip. Bottom line, I feel I got got because there was no mention of aeration or the course being under construction on the app.
