Cumberland Lake Golf Course

Booked a 4 player promotion for $45 per person through golfnow. We drove 30 minutes instead of going to our local course because of this rate. When we arrived to pay, they had our tee time booked but rung us up at $56 per person. When we showed the confirmation that it was supposed to be $45, they very rudely stated that it was not their problem and that if we didnt pay online, we had to pay full price. Even after explaining that there was no option to pay online for the 4 player promotion, they refused to honor their advertised rate. We paid the inflated rate and completed our round. Afterwards, I checked later tee times that same day and they were still advertising the 4 player promotion with no option to pay online. I like this course and play their Hot Deals often, but the principle of advertising specials to get people to drive out there, then charging them full rate is frustrating.

The grass was still dormant when I played but from the blue tees this is a challenge and I was very happy I went to play here

Great course , layout is good for all levels. Will play it again

Due to weekend golf tournament Maintenance was out in full force…..overall the course was in great shape with three negatives……ball wash station either contained no water or filthy water, tee boxes need attention and areas around greens need grass cut lower.

Well maintained course and it’s worth the price

Recommendate!

They charged more than was posted on golf now . Golf now price when booked was 45 they charged 56

I love playing this course. Great layout. Grass clippings left on a few greens is reason for average conditions.

Course was in poor condition. Aerated the fairways, which is not the issue, but did not rake plugs. Any shot in the fairway would either plug, have zero roll, or shoot off in an unexpected direction. They had cut greens but did not blow grass off greens and had clumps of grass everywhere making it difficult to putt at all. Hardly any of tee boxes had markers set up. Pace of play was very slow and no marshal regulating.

Cumberland Lake was an enjoyable day of golf. Located in north central Alabama there was a lot of elevation change with some very scenic views during the round. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and helpful. They used gas carts but no computers on board for yardage assistance so bring your own for accuracy. They do have a decent yardage book but it’s not GPS equivalent.

No beverage service on course but you can bring your own. Greens were in good shape at a moderate speed and good size. Pace of play was never a problem, we were around in 3.5 hours. It was a wonderful day of golf at a modest price.
