Winter Round
We teed off right on time. The setup was good, the greens were consistent and quick.
Due to a temp of 40 degrees few ppl were willing to play. Our experience was wonderful.
Me and my son teed from the tips, my daughter and my Mom putted on each green.
The conditions were wet and muddy but it did not deter us in the least. The layout was a challenge-no birdies were made but it was fair.
I recommend it to anyone who can play a little.
It stretched out to near 7,000 yards. I shot 82 and my son 96. We were both challenged to the nth degree!
Home course
This is a course I grew up playing. Great course and they’re continuing to make it better!
Great layout
Great layout of this course. lots of interesting shots. Not a "grip it and rip it" course at all. Greens were in good shape although pretty fluffy. Could be because of the time of year. Lots of rough patches on the sides of the fairways. All in all good value for money.
Coffee was free!
Gem of a Course
The only thing better than the course was the friendliness of the employees. Great layout with every hole different. Wish I lived in the area to be able to play more often.
Quick round on a challenging course for a great price. That says it all.
Enjoyable layout
Enjoyed the front nine and then really enjoyed the last 5-6 holes.
Has a lot of different looks.
Some classic holes.
Some big elevation.
Greens a little slow but there were in great shape.
The fairways are Bermuda that are in great shape allowing the ball to sit up perfectly.
Would definitely play here again.
Worth your money.
Friday Fun Day
Fun and challenging course. Played in a threesome in under 3 hours..
Hidden Gemstone
This well hidden gem of a golf course right off Hwy 79 is well worth playing as often as you can. This outstanding layout has six valley holes to get your interest peaked and warm up your game before heading uphill for eight beautifully prepared mountain holes. The folks at RTG wish they had eight upland holes in a row this good but trust me they don’t . Next you come down from the highlands to finish with four more excellent valley holes including a risk reward cut of as much water as you dare 18th finishing hole. The greens are still in perfect shape and proper speed.
Perfect Play
Beautiful views, challenging holes, great greens and no problems. A real value.
Good day!
The course is average. Pretty on back 9. Short course for women. No bathroom on course. That was a huge surprise. The weather is very hot and dry so I’m sure under better circumstances it would be better. We will try again. We had a great rate. Good value!!
Best for the money.
Beautiful course with scenic views. There’s no better challenge for the money.

Cumberland Lake is located in a beautiful setting. The golf course is in excellent condition and a real challenge. I was a member here 30= years ago. The course is in the best condition ever. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. If you’re a golfer you owe to yourself to give it a try. Well worth the $$.
Fun day...
I had not played Cumberland Lakes in many years... It was well worth my return trip today.. Course is much improved and in very good condition... I really enjoyed my round... The guy in the shop could not have been nicer plus he made a mean chicken club sandwich... I have already told my friends about it... Can't wait to go back...
Sunny day
Greens had been aerated and sanded so I have no idea how they would normally play. The rest of the course is in excellent shape. The course is very well designed with a variety of holes. My review would be better if I had some idea how the greens normally play. The greens are small and some of them had quite a bit of slope.
Best course you've never heard of.
Check this place out, can't believe I've lived in North Alabama for over 30 years and never so much as heard of this place. Scenery and layout make this one of best I've played in area. Small con for some right now, they just aerated one nine yesterday and one today. That said sand and all the greens rolled about as fast and true if not better than most of other courses right now. Can't imagine how wonderful must have been last week...or in a couple more. I don't write reviews and am rarely either particularly impressed or disappointed by most things, bit I really was impressed today. Definitely worth the slightly over an hour drive.
Playing an old friend
My wife and I were members of this golf club 35 years ago. The course has always been a challenge. The course overall is a great value for the money.. The fairways are mostly in good condition. The greens are above average and a challenge. I highly recommend it.
Great track for the price.
This was my first experience at Cumberland Lake and I will definitely be back. The course is in great shape. Tee boxes and greens were well maintained. Greens were on the slow side but still very smooth. Cumberland Lake is a very scenic course with some challenging holes. I look forward to playing here again.
