Cumberland Lake Golf Course

Course is in fair shape there are a few greens that need a lot of work but other than that it’s a good course

Guys,

We are regular golfers and play some very nice courses. My buddy came up from Fairhope and we needed aplace to play on a Friday so we got an on-line deal and gave it a try. The shop was manned buy a very nice friendly lady named Veronica. She was very helpful, friendly, and super professional. The boss was out but that did not matter. This young lady had everything under control.

The fairways were excellent, burmuda. Greens were ery slow bermuda and took several holes for us to adjust from what we were accustomed to. After making the speed adjustment we started to get into a groove then our round ended.

Overall for the money this is a great hidden course and we will be back.

Some of the worst greens I’ve seen in years. Looks like a disgruntled greens keeper scalped most greens.

Played this morning and there were large mud areas on greens and the grass that was there was not mowed evenly. Fairways and tee boxes were fine. This course is close to being a great value, but the greens are unacceptable and ruin the experience

Course in winter conditions, somewhat wet, tight lies, greens were just OK. First time playing so trying to figure out what to hit off a couple tees was challenging, mainly it is a drivers course though. Greens were spotty but should be good in the growing season. In retrospect the course layout is rather challenging, quite a few holes played long from the White Tees, holes 10 - 14 is a great stretch. Would definitely play again for shot value

Considering how wet it has been we drove almost everywhere we'll be back this summer to see fully green.....

This isn't quite mountain golf but they have gas powered carts for a reason. There are a couple of holes that area a real test. I enjoyed the layout.

The pro was very friendly.

This course wasn't completely drained so it was a challenge to force myself to hit down onto the dormant grass that was soggy.

This is a beautiful course, especially for the money. When on the top of the mountain, you can see miles and miles! Greens are above average.

This course was a treat. Conditions were average. Layout was tricky, a few blind tee shots, greens were very slick with the grain and crowned. Pace of play was exemplary, finished 18 in 3 hours. Amazing 18th hole where it pays to hit it long. The lady in the clubhouse was super friendly!

So I got the course ready to play only to find out they no longer accept Golfnow and wouldn’t allow me to play because they’re having issues.

My GPS took me thru several Scenic, winding back roads to find this course. Entering the driveway my high expectations were gradually degrading only based on visuals of the club house with “country club” in its name, but it’s a Saturday, the sun is shining and I’m about to play golf so I’ll make the best of it.

Walking up to the clubhouse I could infer that this facility has been around for some time as to why some of its facility features were dated, but again I’m here to play the course!

Staff was friendly and accommodating although it appeared that they didn’t expect the number of golfers onsite because of scrambling to get carts prepped.

Rain over the last few days was obvious on the course but no fault of there own, thanks meteorologists.

The Good-the layout of this course is spectacular. The holes are framed throughout the terrain that makes every hole fun to play and different. It’s a shotmakers course in which many holes require placement vs. length. Elevation changes promoted thinking but also for great scenery. Hole 18 surrounding the lake was very picturesque. Played it from the white tees around 6400 yards I believe.

The bad-this course has the ability to be a premier course in the area, IF more time and money was spent on course maintenance(tee boxes, fairways and greens). The tee boxes were bare, the fairways were defined but spotty and the greens were “puttable” but still could use some attention.

Overall- I would play this course again and look forward to seeing how this course shapes up. My only concern would be based on the pro shop stating “this is the best shape the course has been in some time“, makes me believe that the conditions are as good as it gets. Hopefully I’m wrong. Still enjoyed playing the course, get a good maintenance crew and this will be a gem!
