The course layout impresses with doglegs, elevation changes, and a satisfying mix of challenge and forgiveness on nearly every hole. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong value for money make this a rewarding round worth returning to.

Needs Work

Course needs some work. Fairways are patchy and made up more of clumps of grass on a lot of holes rather than a consistent lawn. Greens need the most work though. Lots of bad spots on them and almost no grass to hold the ball from just rolling forever even on good shots. I did see the course seems aware of these issues and is addressing them, so hopefully that happens by the next time I try to play again.

You get what you pay for.

The course is one of those unplanned golf day courses. It’s laid back so don’t tuck your shirt in. I’ve seen the course in better condition. It recently sold and they have tried to update a few things but it seems like they started a new project before finishing the previous one. Make sure you bring your own tees and balls unless you want to play with Walmart balls. The course layout isn’t bad. If you are playing with a friend who’s hitting top flight irons this is the perfect place to shank em.

Needs work

Greens were decent but tee boxes and fairways / other areas were in pretty rough shape. Very hilly . Several blind tee shots. Fun course , could use some work.

Good value but...

Staff was friendly but that's about where the good ended. Driving range was hidden, hard to find, and pretty rough. Carts were in rough shape. Course and paths were as well. Lots of hills and hidden greens. Was a reasonable value for the money but probably won't play again.

Greens improved

This course is much improved from the last time we played here. We did have to wait because of a tournament, and ended up being rained out. Staff was very friendly and gave us a rain check for 9 holes. Overall good experience

Pa!metro hills lots of promise but not there yet

We were first off so pace of play was quick. 18 holes 3 hours 15 minutes. Course has severe slopes and fairways are too sparse to hold the ball. Greens were so long that there were runners or seed pods throughout. Not worth the 36 dollar rate. Note I shot 80 so this isn't a beef about a bad day but an honest assessment of the course.

Good challenging course

The course is challenging and the snakes are real lol. I like the layout of this course, which makes some holes very challenging. We were very fortunate that there weren’t that many people on, made the pace of play fast for us. The greens were a bit inconsistent at this time, but not bad. Now with the snakes… be careful going to the restroom out there, my brother thought it was a prank until he saw it move. Yes he ran back to the cart lol. Lose your balls into the woods, just drop it and continue. I will be playing here again.
