Slow. Greens need work. Nice little course.
Course itself is very nice. Driving range is right beside the parking lot, convenient. Carts are electric and able to easily facilitate 36 holes (based on recent experience). Our twosome was paired with a third to give us a threesome. We were waiting to tee off on every hole, beginning with hole #3. I'm sure it was primarily due to the poor/slow play of the threesome ahead of us, but there wasn't a Marshall on the course the entire day (did I mention we played 36 holes?). An official to speed up play or let others play throw would have been nice. The course was NOT that crowded, but there were a LOT of singles & doubles. For the life of me, I don't understand why the courses (this one, for sure) doesn't force AT LEAST a threesome for play. If is a pair, stuck between two foursomes, then so be it. But, a pair, followed by a pair, followed by a threesome, followed by a pair, followed by a threesome is just silly. I'd much rather have fewer tee times available and force matchups to speed up play. The "wrong" substance was sprayed on the greens back in April/May and killed about half the grass on about half the greens. They really need to replace them. The course itself is very pretty; very well laid out. There are just enough bunkers and water to be challenging but not "hard". We will definitely be back again, but I wish the course would make some logistical/booking changes.
Rough greens on front
Most of the greens on the front were in rough shape. Course is challenging. A great course when the greens are maitained.
Great course
We love this course. However, some holes are being worked on and the greens aren’t in real good condition. Otherwise it’ss great course with a fun layout.
terrible value
I cant believe they make you PRE-pay 65.00 on a course that is more than 1hr away from Nashville, that the greens are torn up. I mean can you say price gouging!! The greens are terrible , this plae should BEG you to come here> the greens fees should be 35$ at best. Not coming back here ever unless its free.
Greens are a little rough but they are working on it. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape.
Course is in terrible shape and green fees should reflect that, unfortunately they do not. At least warn your guests that the greens are probably around 30% dirt, and that is being generous.
Poor amenities, rough greens, rude staff
Not worth the price they ask. Have only went here when I was able to get a good hot deal. Amenities are bottom tier and staff are rude. Greens are rough. Course design is nice.
Not much life on the greens
Despite the fact that here in Tennessee we have had monsoon levels of rain for the past two months, the greens were in terrible shape in regards to grass growth on the greens. They have obviously been rolling them because despite there being 50% barren spots on the greens, they still rolled very smoothly. Nonetheless it is a nice course to play and I look forward to my next round at Saddle Creek
WORST VALUE EVER
$75 to play at a dried up goat farm? Place looked like absolute crap. The prices have gotten way out of hand, this course was never hardly worth the money but now they sealed it. Go to Henry Horton or heck you’ll get more for your buck at Lewisburg Rec. Really sad, I remember when this was the place to go.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME
I brought 2 friends out to the course who were visiting from out of town. When we went to pay it was just under $200 for 3 of us and a cart. That was just the first issue.
Standing on first tee, the course looked good, until you get to the first green, then the course conditions went straight downhill. Greens were the worst I’ve ever seen in over 20 years. There was no fringe, completely dead or burned up, the actual greens were patchy, lots of repairs, and overall terrible. Fairways were ok at best, the rough or what was supposed to be rough was mostly dirt, mud, and mixed grasses/weeds. Must be irrigation issues in 18 since the fairway was torn up from repairs and had standing water for a few hundred yards. This course is one of the worst I’ve played in years!
Now for another major issue. One of my guests has stage 4 cancer is his bones and can play golf but has issues if has to walk long distances. Golf is one of the few things he loves to do, and that he can still play and have fun doing. We discovered on the second hole that the carts have global fencing installed from 100 yards out from the greens. This means you end up walking a LOT. You almost walk as much as ride. If we had known this we wouldn’t have played here from the beginning. We walked more than we rode.
I used to brag about the this course, recommended this course to anyone who asked and was proud of it. But never again. This course is literally the worst course I’ve played in many years. Municipal courses are in better shape and have much better rates. I will never spend another dime on this course, never recommend or endorse this course to a single person again. The cost is ridiculous and there’s no value to it. The course and facilities are slowly dying and is heartbreaking to see what used to be one of the best courses in middle Tennessee become one of the worst.
I was completely mortified and embarrassed after talking up this course to my friends and then seeing how bad it was. If you want to waste your money and time, go for it! But you’d be better off spending a little less on a great course and go to Henry Horton that is in much much better condition!
