2 brothers that love this course

We are never disappointed. Mrs. Doris is continuing the tradition her husband Mr. Bryce started years ago. One of the top courses in the area including the Chattanooga area. Absolutely love this place.

Not what we expected

Drove 1hour and 40 minutes to play this “hidden gem”, having played canyon ridge (spectacular course) up the road a couple of years ago

Staff we very pleasant but the course is in horrible condition except the greens.

Tees boxes we’re far from flat and lots weeds and patches of grass.

Fairways were not smooth and flush, quite similar to the tee box.

Layout was fun and unique.

Views were nothings to write home about.

Won’t be back but only because of the of the quality of the tee boxes and fairways.

Nice December Day for Golf

Course was very wet which was expected. For December in Alabama, the course was in decent shape except the sand traps. Greens were in good shape.

Soggy but satisfied!

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Although it rained the majority of my round, it didn’t put a damper on my spirits! Even though The area had a lot of rain the night before the course was still very playable. The fairways drained well, and were exceptionally well kept. I enjoyed the layout, open, but still a few challenging shots. Ample greens, good tee boxes, Will definitely play again.

Best of the Best!

Nestled in the hills of Alabama and a little over an hour from home, this course was well worth the drive. In fact, we are headed back tomorrow morning for another round! The fairwsys and greens are in fantastic shape! I have made more for a lot less! It really provides challenges, yet its wide fairways are forgiving for less experienced or beginning golfers.

A great rual course

I always love playing this course. I rarely play consistent golf during the round but love playing it. You can score on some holes and if you lose concentration then you can easily have a large number in some holes. The back 9 is very scenic and fun to play.

Well worth the drive at any price

I’m a 20 handicap and I shot a 90 so it helped that I played well but putting that aside this is one of best courses I have played in years. I had been told it was worth it before I went and I wasn’t disappointed. I will definitely be playing again. The course is over 40 miles from my home and that won’t keep me from returning soon.

Hidden gem

I was visiting Chattanooga so I heard about Dogwood from a few guys I played a different course with. They said it was a little bit of a drive but well worth it. I drove down to find a great little course. The greens were wet and slow from all the rain but not unplayable at all. The front nine a few gimmick holes..number 2 especially but the back nine was gorgeous. Number 10 is definitely the signature hole.
