Nice

Very friendly staff, it was extremely wet the day we played, but still a good time. They let us play an extra 9 free of charge because the course was so wet. I'll definitely play there again!

Great course, even when wet

They had a ton of rain two days prior and some of be fairways were soaked, but all in all it was in good shape. The price was good. The staff wasn't exactly friendly. They seemed perturbed that we had booked on GolfNow. The views were spectacular and we will be back in the summer!

Nice Mountain Course

Ball position on this course is easier than most mountain courses. Greens in excellent shape and very eye pleasing surroundings. Play this if you get a chance in the Chattanooga area...about 35 mins away.

A little piece of heaven

I have been bringing a group here for 5 years and have always had a wonderful time. The course is unique in design since Bryce built it himself. The staff is wonderful and Doris makes sure that we have what we need. We always stay in the cabins on the course. You can't beat the peace and quiet. The kind of place where you don't have to look your doors. Inexpensive to play but it is a definite challenge. A unique place and as long as Doris is there, we will keep coming back. We have never been disappointed with the course or the accommodations.

What's more important

The course was nice and not busy at all. They had no range balls because i was told their range cart was broke. The greens were in good shape and rolling fast. The only problem was that over half of the greens were covered in leaves. Not few leaves but a lot of leaves. Had spend time clearing a path out every time we got ready to putt. I understand that the grounds crew can not keep this from happening every time, however; when they are too busy installing Christmas lights all over the grounds instead of taking care of the course it is a problem.

This course is layed out beautifully.

We started off pretty well.just us two. Then we caught up to a group of four who held us up and wouldn't let anyone around them.no one ahead of them,and several groups behind. That's where you need someone to tell them to play a little faster. It took us over 5 hours to get through the 18 holes. We thought about skipping a hole and going around, but I really don't like to do that. But next time we will.

Great Course!

This course has scenic views of the mountains surrounding Sand Mountain, it is peaceful, and quiet as you do not hear much traffic, or other noises besides birds, and such. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone within their driving distance. The bent grass greens are in good shape, especially since we have had such a hot, and dry year, being that bent grass does not like neither! Extremely nice staff will make you feel at home, make the trip out, you should not regret it!

A Nice Place To Go Play

I can't think of better place to go play for the Money, The Greens were excellent. I shot a lot lower round than I expected. I wish that I was there again today.

Outstanding Local Course

This beautiful golf course in the mountains of north Alabama is well laid out, manicured, and the attention to fairways and greens is exceptional. A fun day even a temperatures above 90.
