Thoroughly disappointed with this course

Hi,

The course was not maintained well. The front 9 greens were not even, had tons of sand sitting on them, and were simply not good.

There were many unfilled ditch holes within the sides of fairways from possible past rain storms.

Great place.

I would suggest a beer cart and a staff or 2 but all in all great place. I like the driving range shot tracker. Looks to be a working progress so can't wait to come again to see the changes .

Slow pace

Several groups of six or more even a group of 9 on one hole. This group was a group on intoxicated people who turned out to be members I’m told. Since they ended up trying to start an altercation with a group of sixteen year old kids in the parking lot doesn’t say much for the club. This group of intoxicated bums chased these kids around crashing golf carts and just generally being obnoxious. Not what I like to see at golf club. I doubt I return the course is average shape to just below that. Nice layout but nothing special.

The owners have improved the driving range with TopGolf style simulation. The clubhouse and restaurant have improved over the years. Staff were working on the course all day.

Course is very nice

Good: Had zero issue with the course, it was beautiful, layout was amazing. Very well kept course that provided a few challenging holes. Greens are in great shape and very receptive.

Bad: Allowed a group of 8 to tee off together, had players driving and parking on tee boxes and fringe. Pro shop could use some work and maybe a few more golf items. Pace of play was slowwww.

Good course for the cost

This was a stopping point for us from Bowling Green KY. Spring break for my son and headed on down to the Valspar championship later in the week. Booked the course because it was listed as hosting the SEC championship. Did not realize that was in 1974!! We almost did not play this location but decided to since we paid. Glad we did. Course was a bit rough in areas but we had fun and talked to others who bring a group from Chicago yearly. Had a good time and relaxed atmosphere.

Nice layout. Greens were pretty thick and also burned out in spots. Pace of play was slow. It was a cold day so we ended up leaving early. Staff was very friendly.
