challenges await novices

This is a fair course that should delight intermediate to low handicappers. For example, while I didn't fare well with hole #2 today, it is beautifully designed-- reminiscent of a short par 4 at Augusta in its architecture. The fairways are fair-- neither generously wide nor narrow-- and, generally, the roughs are not highly punitive. However, novices or high handicappers will be frustrated by the many elevation changes, blind shots/doglegs, and many greens that are small or well-guarded. Still, the GolfNow price provides a great value opportunity for novices to test themselves and make some great shots.

OK course, place to hit a ball

Course shape is good, t boxes, greens and fairways. This course has several goofy laid out holes due to the lay of the land. It is a place to hit a ball but it is very difficult course. Great shape but I don't like the lay out at all.

good course for the money

the course was in decent condition(greens had been aerated several weeks prior) especially considering the amount of rain lately.staff was friendly.do not recommend playing by yourself when you have never played the course before(finding way around and several blind shots)

Interesting layout

This course plays well...greens are quick and the fairways were soft due to recent rains but it played well...it's longer than any course I have played since from the tips it's nearly 6900 yds....good bargain for the money

Fun course in good condition.

Despite some damage from a recent storm, the course was in very good shape. It was Monday and the course was uncrowded.

A Nice Golf Course!

Tee boxes and fairways almost perfect, greens were a little spotty but still above average. Should only get better with hot weather on the way.

Falcon's Lair

I thought the course was pretty nice. I only play golf about 4 times a year, and we tried this course out for the first time on 6/9/2013. It was pretty nice. Stay on the fairways because the balls can be very hard to find on the rough. I thought the greens were above average and they were nice and fast. The carts were great and the layout of the course was very nice.

Great course and still improving

The course is in fine shape: (a) the tee boxes have great surfaces to hit from, (b) the fairways are well maintained, and (c) the greens have fine, consistent grass quality. By comparison, I attended the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow in May of this year and the greenskeepers at Quail Hollow should take lessons from the folks at Falcon's Lair. The staff at Falcon's Lair were super friendly and provided guidance to me on my first visit to the course. I will return . . .

Great Value

James always makes you feel welcome and treats you as a regular even if this is your 1st time at Falcons Lair. You wont be dissapointed with this course. Open but can be challenge. Greens always roll good. Give Falcons Lair a try.

Course is in good condition but plays fairly tough. Numerous streams and ravines winding through the course make good shotmaking a necessity.

This course is somewhat difficult, but fair. It demands good shotmaking to stay out of trouble. The greens are bermuda and they putt true but fast.

good course...poor employee at pro shop

I booked a single golfer for $18 and my wife went along to get out of the house on a nice day. The employee at the pro shop wanted to charge me $14 just for her to ride with me in the one cart! That was outrageous! The course was not busy at all. I tried to reason with him but he said it was course policy (even though he reduced it to $7 when I told him that I would never come back). I contacted AAG Golf(whom the course is partnered with) and they said that he should not have charged a "riders" fee. Beware the older fellow! I am a man of my word, I will not return to Falcon's Lair.

Can't be beat for the price

The staff is great, the course is well kept-up. The only time we've were unable to play a hole was when the grounds crews were working on it.

Course difficulty is moderate. Fairways are fairly open, but steep hills, winding fairways, and hazards can make approach shots tricky if you don't play smart. A couple of longer par 3s give you some good practice on accuracy with your longer irons.

At the turn, stop and grab a snack. I recommend the homemade chicken salad.
