Worst Course in Baldwin County
This course is absolutely terrible strictly because of the management. The enforce completely absurd rules and are uptight about everything unnecessarily. They refuse to actually show any respect to paying customers and act like they don’t even want you there. They do not even tell you about rules changes until you are halfway through your round and now have to cut off early because they decide that they want to get off earlier.
I have played here multiple times, but will absolutely never go back because I have never had a good experience here. I have played every other course in Baldwin County and never had a bad experience except here. Please do not give them your money. There are plenty of other good courses they respect and value the experience of their guests.
Slow play
Establishment needs to do something about the slow play players who play every Saturday. There are a few groups out there where the pro shop will not say anything to speed them up. This is unacceptable!
Avoid for now
Probably the best greens I have played on in some time, unfortunately the tee boxes were the worst and fairways not much better. Not sure if it's being worked on but would avoid for now.
Consistency of speed on greens.
It would be nice if the speed of the greens throughout the 18 holes. The practice greens are not the same speed as out on the course.
A Decent Course
A challenging course for a mediocre golfer. Greens were in good shape. Some of the tee boxes could use some TLC.
Biggest issue was the type of fairway grass (or perhaps the cut). Being feathery and a bit longer, is was easy to lose balls directly in the center of the fairway. Very frustrating, especially if one doesn't hit them straight and away every hole.
Great Layout / Challenging
We played this course a few times before and they have come a long way on repairing the greens. There are still 2 or 3 greens that aren’t quite as good as the rest but all in all they are good. The good greens are fast and true. The starter was very friendly . I would recommend this course to anyone. It’s a fun course. The pace of play was fantastic, we played on a Wednesday and there was no one in front of us or behind us.
Keep up the good work Mr. Greens Superintendent!
Challenging course but needs maintenance
Old course with few design updates over the years. Veverything needs work. Tees in poor condition,fairways need irrigation and greens could use help. Challenging but frustrating 😢
Tees
Overall not a bad course. Most is the women’s tees had no grass on them. My wife teed off beside them twice. Otherwise not to bad.
