No Range Balls Again

Great course. Good greens. OK staff. This place could be so good… the course is great but the little things that make the experience of a round of golf great just aren’t there. I’ve played here about 5 times this year at least and they’ve had range balls once. Staff always shrugs it off, “nope, no range balls today.” Frustrating when you want to warm up before the round.

Beautiful presentation of golf

Course in great shape considering the rain lately. Greens were perfect in condition and mown height. According to recent reviews I got lucky and got the two cordial ladies that usually run the desk. Owner needs to check himself and the other males running the place. Especially the instance where a guy had to pay full price for his wife to just ride. I understand that lady took the cart seat a full paying customer might have taken if you had a full house. But that customer is now never coming back and many others will not either. Owner you are wrong on this one. But the course is yours to run in the ground your way. You better at least keep them two ladies at the door and the course as prestine as it was today. Also kudos to the other two ladies putting out more landscape flowers. Nice touch.

Small course no par 5s

They do have an have in Greene, which is pretty cool. It’s just a small track good place to go work on irons. All the bars are pretty much drivable if you hit a long ball. They do have a pretty cool island green.

Fun Course

Came from Pensacola for the weekend. It was a busy Saturday 11:40 tee time but we got there an hour early to get practice in. The starter and club staff were pretty cool local people. Great value, would recommend. Bring cash for the cash only beverage cart - no outhouses on the course, so ladies - ya know ...

Improved Condition!!

Cumberland Lake is MUCH improved from my previous times of playing there! It has probably been about a year or maybe longer, and I could really tell a difference. I can't wait to go back and may go next week!

Awful pricing

Decided to take my wife to watch me play, and it cost 50$ just for a rider. On top of this 18 and cart price was 50$ (up from 38$ last time I played). The course was poorly managed in way to many areas to justify 50$ to play. I asked proshop why rider was 50$ if they're not playing and they were very rude about it and their reasoning was " cause riders take up space on golf cart". I'm already paying for the cart, it's just me and my wife. I can play at Ross Bridge for the price they charged me at Cumberland. This course used to be well managed and fair priced but has severely went downhill in recent years. I will not be back at Cumberland until it's managed better and pricing changes.

30 minute delay. Not enough carts… no pace of play

30 minutes behind tee time. Not enough carts. Horrible pace of play. 5 hour round. Plus the delay

New staff and new range balls

It’s been a while since I’ve played Cumberland (maybe a year). I reluctantly played again just to have somewhere different to play. Previously had some issues with having no range balls (And if they did have some, they were almost useless they were so bad). But they FINALLY got some new balls. Greens were in really good shape and they had some new staff members! Very pleasant experience compared to previous encounters.

Great course!

Great course, I really enjoy it. The guy running the front desk probably needs some direction from management. The previous visit was wonderful; this guy had issues and tried to pass them on to customers. Other than that guy, the place is great and worth it regardless.

Was Simply OK

Just about as ok as it gets. A few fun holes, but the place just felt neglected. Decent in a pinch, but there are far more courses I’d rather play at. Spend a little more and go play Limestone Springs (which isn’t far).
