Cant beat $18

Paid $18 for 18 holes. It was a hot deal on GolfNow. Course is dormant but still in great shape. During the summer, it is green and plush.... one of the nicest courses around. If you can get a deal, jump on it.

Nice Track

this is a pretty nice course with a lot of forgiveness on the front nine but not much on the back nine. For the course lengths, the par 3s can be a bit overwhelming as the first two(there are 3 on the front) are in the 220 yd range from the backs (6600) and 210 from the next tees(6300). The par 4s on the front are fairly short though not all easy. Check your yardages to bunkers, etc. and hit less than driver. The back nine is tough, starting with 200 yd par 3 and some tough driving tests and testy greens. Course conditions were good, greens well kept. Would like to see more yardage markers and visible 150 stakes to determine distances for those without gps. Pace can be a little slow at times and had a mix of singles and twosomes that were not joining up. Well worth the money, especially a good deal on Golfnow.

nice layout

Course was in great shape for this time of year. They did a great job of clearing leafs off so balls were easy to find when hit along tree line. Staff was very friendly. Can't wait to go back.

very interesting track

this is a really cool layout that got better as the round went along. I enjoyed everything about the golf course except for it being across the street from a high school that the marching band was practicing outside...which was very distracting. and the only reason why I gave two stars for the food and beverage was because they closed bye 4:30. other than that I would definitely come back.

Gets better by the year

The course gets better every year and the improvements seem non stop which is a great thing. This course has plenty of potential and the staff is working on it. The only downfall I would say is the snack bar / pro shop. Very very limited food to snack on but the drinks are the normal. All in all the course is worth wild and keeps me coming back almost every week.!

Great course but no snacks cart or coffee?

It was my first time playing the course, 0806 tee time and about 45 degrees. Got fooled by the front nine, on the card it was very short and not too narrow so played blue tees. Back nine, however, got much longer and a little more narrow. Beautiful course fairly well maintained for this time of year. Pace of play was good. Only downside was no coffee at 0806 at 45 degrees. Easy fix though, now I know to stop and get some on the way

Crowded but fun

Course in great condition. Greens recently been redone so fast and sandy. Greens are still running true and consistent , so that's all you can ask. Great course for the intermediate player, which most of us are. Earlier review had issue with some adjoining fairways, just be attentive of fellow golfers and really not an issue. The layout is forgiving and challenging at same time. Water on a few holes, but mostly no issue . Crowded today and think some had issue with slower than normal play but mid seventies beautiful day middle of October , so was no surprise everyone taking advantage of the day. Love the course and will be back soon.

Pristine Condition

The superintendent and maintenance crew should be commended for the course conditions. Fairways tightly manicured and greens rolled true. Challenging setup from the blues, offering a mix of short and long par 4's. Accuracy required on several tee shots.

Great Time!

I have been looking at Dogwood Trace for awhile since it's a 40+ minute commute for me but I'm glad I went despite the rain. The fairways are beautiful. The greens were punched last week but still played pretty true. I only stayed for 9 but will definitely be back to see the rest of the course. Highly recommended!

Great conditions not so great course.

Course conditions were fantastic. The maintenance staff is to be commended. The young man in the proshop was also great. Not a fan of the course itself. The holes are laid out very tight. We were ducking for cover on most holes. Pace of play was poor as well. Front 9 was not bad, but waited constantly on the back. 15th hole took approximately 35 minutes to play and 16 was so backed up we left the course .Marshals were constantly cruising the course but didn't help.

Course in great condition

Played in rain, had golf now reservation so why not. Course from tee to green in excellent condition. Nice layout with fairways forgiving enough for middle handicapper. Enough variety of hole layouts to make very enjoyable round. We could not believe how well the greens were running in such poor conditions , but we're in great condition. Work with friend I played here with and his only question is when are we going back. Will be very soon.
