The Golf Course at Branch River

I really enjoyed being on the course. Very pretty and serene. But, the greens were so bad the ball looked like it was going through horizontal plinko game. I can overlook the hard tee boxes but at nice as the course is, the greens are too far gone to enjoy the game.

I'm 71 years old and may be a duffer, but I have played a lot of golf in my lifetime. I went here because it was part of a golf card I purchased early this year. To say conditions were bad is an understatement. The greens are junk, bare spots all over every green. Trying to putt is next to impossible. the ball bounces all over. Whomever is cutting the greens is damaging them even more. It's apparent that they are not using pesticides and herbicides on the course. The bugs were terrible and you can't tell the fairway from the rough. There are thistles and crabgrass throughout the course. Can't tell you how many times I hit the fairway to end up with my ball sitting on a weed or crabgrass. And the sand traps? They are weed bunkers. Weeds cover what is supposed to be sand. Weeds 3 feet tall all over a trap? Such a simple thing to maintain and they are obviously ignoring them. Will never go back, that's for sure. If you like a well taken care of golf course this is not for you. I wish I had taken some photo's. So sad.

Could be a nice course if in was maintained

But looks like they have let it go for 20 years doing less than the bare minimum

This course could be amazing

However it looks like they have let it go for the last 20 years

No defined fairways

If they have a grounds crew that would be very surprising

It has awesome potential good length, nice hole layouts, beautiful surroundings

However no effort or money has been put into making it an even average course

My wife and I played this course before but the conditions were not this bad. The course has great potential. Plenty of length and many mature trees. In this condition I would not recommend this course to anyone who loves golf. The greens are a mess of dead patches. Most of the sand traps are full of grass and weeds. The grass is poorly mowed if mowed at all. Lost a ball in the middle of a fareway, possibly under grass clippings. This was the 4th course we played in 4 days and the worst by far.

Beautiful course, awesome people. Too many gnats😒

This course has such potential but needs a lot of TLC. It needs mowing, weed killing and the bugs were very annoying.

Beautiful course. Nice layout. Greens are a work in progress, but getting better. Only other complaint is the gnats can get pretty bad.

I’ll definitely play there again.

Some of the worst greens I’ve ever seen. They are like putting out of bunker. Bunkers are like WW2 D-Day. Hard as a rock and truck tire marks all over

The worst kept course I’ve ever played. I wouldn’t spend $10 to play it.

Pretty rough fairways grass could of been cut greens were very spotty

Great day, Sunny but windy. The wind was good as it kept the annoying black gnats at bay. Overall great course and great value. I will definitely play it again.

This would be a nice course if it wasn't for the gnats flying around our heads at all times. I've been here in spring, summer and fall, and the gnats always seem to be there.

Was a private country club opened to the public to generate revenue... This is such a wonderful layout and now everyone can enjoy this beautiful golf course!

I won’t be playing this course again. The course conditions are the primary reason. The staff was friendly and kind, just not a great course at all.

Throughout the course, the tee boxes, greens, fairways, and rough had dead spots with exposed dirt and no grass. The tee boxes were uneven and plenty of un-repaired ball marks. The layout was decent and long, I had to use every club in my bag.

This early in the season, I did not expect a course to be torn up like this.
