Wish public would fix the damage they do

Sections of all greens are unputtable because of pitch marks which go unrepaired.

Fringes are mostly POA annua but fairways still have decent turf.

Solid Course

Solid Course with some really fair and some challenging holes. Conditions were good and greens were great. Pace of play was a little slow but that is just because I got caught behind VSU team. Solid time all together

Hatchets everywhere

Multiple five-somes in front of us with non golfers hacking up the place. People - pick up your ball after 7 strokes. Need a starter badly.

Greens on the back are getting beat up pretty bad. I guess that’s to be expected considering it’s a public course and nobody fixes their pitch marks. I end up fixing 5 or 6 marks on every green.

Hidden Gem Course

Always a fun course to play plenty of opportunities to score or getting the big trouble. Good balance of scoring holes throughout the whole course. Only downside is after heavy rains course slow to drain, but the greens were in great shape after rain.

Great Atmosphere

Layout looks easy, but the course is still challenging; greens were in great shape. Bunkers were nice other than a little stranded water on one of the holes. Everything was great, including the staff.

Always a pleasure to play there

Dogwood has a great staff, good course and great location. Even the clientele is very friendly. I’d recommend this course to anyone.

If you need a lesson, talk to Mike or the staff. Worth the money!
