Cumberland Lake Golf Course

The greens were great a month ago. We couldn’t believe how bad they were this time with brown spots everywhere. They appeared to my group to be under watered. It was our favorite place to play until yesterday. We probably will not go back this year as it is twice as far away as the other 3 courses we play with two of them in much better condition.

I’m new to golfing and this course was great! For 40ish dollars it was absolutely beautiful!! Very friendly girl in the clubhouse! Not busy at all on a Wednesday! Stretch of the beautiful holes in the middle! Not very hard for a beginner but it’s a step up from average course in Cullman! Will be going back for sure!!

August , at times of low rain fall and extreme heat….Bad time to play. The greens were the worst condition of any course I have ever played. But to be fair, they had just verticut, and aerated the greens to re-seed, but still in rough shape

I would like to play again under (hopefully) better conditions.

Cumberland charged more for the round than what GolfNow confirmed it would be. Round was confirmed on GolfNow at $45 but Cumberland charged $52.

I showed the confirmation to the attendant and she said “yeah I don’t know why GolfNow shows that but it’s $52.”

No big deal at $7 more but just the principle of you guys confirming at one rate to pay at course and the course charging more….

Very enjoyable round of golf with some great views and a lot of natural settings. Provides a good challenge for the weekend warrior golfers and the skilled professionals will enjoy the rewards for aggressive shortcut shots. Greens are in great shape. Only downside is the sand traps are horrible, more like ground up clay instead of sand. If you play in the morning you have go early enough to get a breakfast burrito from the kitchen, they are amazing.

Course supply, laid-back good pay supply very reasonably price greens and fairways are usually in good condition

Absolute Love this gem of a course. Nice layout, pace and price. Such a beautiful place to play golf. Traveled from Memphis on a jazz getaway and decided to play golf. Can't wait to return.

This course appears to have been private at one time, they are trying hard to get it back to peak shape. But layout is nice, course conditions are good not great, really good value for the price. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, seems like a family owned operation. I would play it again if in the area

Great layout. Senior friendly. Well manicured. Will be back. It really is a hidden gem. Hot deal at $25 was a bargain.

This is a great little course that you can play for a great price. We went during the week and it wasn’t busy at all. Played with a walker and we didn’t run into hardly anyone.

Course has a pretty neat layout with some good holes. A few challenging tee shots make it interesting. Greens rolled well but are quite slow and inconsistent. You can be putting straight downhill and struggle to get it there one hole then the next time send it 10 feet by. They also don’t check up very well, so keep that in mind for approach shots and chipping.

Our experience would’ve been perfect if it hadn’t been for one of the staff members and a lack of notice. Kitchen was closed so there wasn’t any food available besides snack-type stuff. Course had no water coolers at all and the only chance to get anything was on 7 (no beverage carts during week). If they would’ve told us before we teed off that there wasn’t any water on the course it wouldn’t have been an issue. They didn’t and we had to drive to the clubhouse from the other side of the course just for some water. Pack a cooler and don’t rely on the food/beverage stuff there and it should be a great time.

Overall a good experience that I would recommend and would play again.

I would encourage to my friends to try it as it was challenging and the fairways were fantastic (especially for winter) the greens were cut a little higher than my expectation but still very fun to play.

This place gets worse every time I go… for several holes there were 10 year olds riding electric scooters all over the place. I finally called the clubhouse and there were aware of the kids riding scooters but were apparently condoning it “as long as they stayed on the cart paths”… but even still, they weren’t. They were ramping hills, cutting across, back and forth back and forth. There’s no reason for this to happen. After I called, one of the kids ride directly down the middle of the fairway towards me. I had just hit a 3 wood and luckily it was a bad shot or it would’ve come close to hitting him. Come to find out, the kid lives in the neighborhood and they’ve given him permission “as long as he stays on the cart path…” really?! And to top it off, they were out of range balls… again….
