Shrink the game

I used to love playing here; it's not a crazy layout, but it's a fun experience with some getable holes. Now it seems like the worst golfers in the world gather around here and make the pace just terrible. I have seen people drive up on the green, I have seen people take 20+ minutes on a hole. Just a lack of etiquette from a lot of people I've seen golf here.

Doubtful if I will play again

When I played, the back nine holes were under maintenance, so I played the front nine twice. The staff are super friendly. The layout is challenging on some holes. However if the ball goes just a bit outside, it sinks into the grass and disappears, so it’s very difficult to spot it. The tee boxes and the greens need to be improved. Overall I am not likely to go again other than trying out the back nine once.

Surprised

Upon arrival found out front nine was closed. Paid on line for 18. If I knew front was closed I would of just paid for nine. Not upset but very surprised.

Pair people up

Dogwood is in excellent condition—greens, fairways, and overall layout were all top-notch. I really enjoyed playing here and the course itself is well maintained and fun to play. The only area that could use improvement is in the way groups are paired. Allowing singles and twosomes to go out separately really slows things down and creates long rounds (five to six hours isn’t necessary). Pairing twosomes with twosomes would make the pace of play much smoother.

Also, I saw a review complaining that all the flags are the same color and that you can’t tell front, middle, or back pin positions. Honestly, if you’re measuring distance (as most golfers do), you know how far the flag is—it really doesn’t matter what color it is. That kind of complaint feels a little nitpicky.

Overall, this course is in great shape, fun to play, and I’d definitely come back.

Great course for the money

Pretty decent course. Nothing special, good place to have some fun. Couple greens/tee boxes were patchy but for $50 on a Sunday I was very pleased with playing here. Will definitely be back

Hot weather
Used cart

Poor Maintenance

Desk high-schooler was too busy talking to her friends (way too many kids in the AC clubhouse). Dead golf cart on hole 1, no water on holes, etc. Clearly this course and maintenance of cart paths is going downhill as the city has taken it over. Used to be capable people at the desk.
