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!

GARBAGE

Garbage course, staff is friendly but charging $85 for a course that has aerated fringes and tee boxes have no grass. Crazy. Go back to pre-Covid prices and might return.

Following the trend

This course, like many others since the covid shut down, have followed the trend to raise rates since the courses were full. This course is $73 for 18 holes on the weekend, not counting the additional $8-10 of fees. The hot deal still cost $68. This is in my opinion is $25 overpriced for the quality of the course. Fairways are not coming in, the greens are fuzzy and slow and some of the greens still have bare spots and patch work on them that have been a continuing problem for several years. The course is exactly the same as it was pre covid when rates were $45 a round. Pace of play was great because there was no one in front of or behind us, we tee'd off after lunch. Good people but the course is way overpriced.

Not Worth 80$

The only reason anyone plays this expensive course is because it’s the only public Course in the area that’s actually 18 holes and has tee times If the Lewisburg rec or pebble creek had tee times and a starter it would be no comparison

Over Priced

Played over 50 rounds here. Used to be the best value course around - now they want $70 for a very average or below average course. Greens are good, everything else decent. No wonder the parking lot is empty on the weekends - no one pays $70 for a local muni. Henry Horton better course and $20 cheaper. Sad times at saddle.

Well worth it

A very nice course in a laid back atmosphere. 1st hole made us think houses were going to be in past throughout the day, but they weren't.
