War zone

1st the goods news, over all track and layout were not awful, but as for course conditions and upkeep , what a travesty. Worst conditions I ever saw on a golf course. Bare spots throughout the fairways, and where there was suppose to be grass was weeds and crabgrass. Bunkers were decent but the greens were laughable. Grass on the greens were as long as the fairways, if the fairways would have had some sort of grass. Ditches and ruts just outside the fairways. One ditch almost flipped my cart over, luckily I was able to save myself. No exaggeration here the course should be made into a place for cows to graise

Pleasant surprise in Dothan

Hard to knock this course. No, the fairways hadn't grown in yet but it is Feb. They did roll out though.

No, the greens weren't perfectly smooth but it is Feb. The bunkers were in good shape.

The layout was interesting. There were two holes that I didn't care for but the rest were above average or awesome.

They have a bar and grill plus a covered driving range and putting area.

I wouldn't stay at the hotel but I would play the course again in a heartbeat even at double the price.

pleasant surprise in Dothan

nice staff, they have a nice bar and offer sandwiches, etc.

There isn't much I didn't enjoy about the course, yes with warmer weather the fairways will green up as well as the greens. The bunkers looked in good shape, the couple that I was in had nice sand with depth to explode. The design was good, not too tricky and not bland.

I can't see myself staying at the hotel but would definitely play the course again.

Fun course!

For January the course was very playable. Greens were sanded and not so fast, but true. Would love to play this later in the year. Super fun track, and staff and other patrons were welcoming and very friendly!
