A little disappointed

There was a lot of rain the previous day. I assume that's why many bunkers had standing water. Greens were not great, not poor either. Let's call them adequate. Many areas had suffered serious erosion causing treacherous driving and free drops. Good layout. Very cordial staff. $35 for 11:00AM on a Saturday is fairly reasonable.

Value course

For the price the course is well worth playing. The course has a good layout and has a ton of potential. Most of the course was taken care of. The 2 things that they need to work on is their greens and rough. The greens don't roll great. Would love to see that fixed. They just don't have any rough it's all fairway or sand/dirt. Which may be what they want. I would absolutely recommend this though for the price.

Up and coming gem

The course layout is great. Fairways and greens need work in places but very enjoyable course. The staff were highly professional and inviting. New TopTracer building is outstanding. Will definitely be back in anticipation of the filled out greens midsummer.

Rough course... Great folks

The people were very friendly but the course is beyond rough. The conditions are muddy, sandy, tree roots, gaping ditches, mud holes on fairways. I understand it’s under new ownership but c’mon... the cart paths just disappear and turn into a motorcross track!

Nice course, too crowded

The course itself was fun. But they shoved way too many in way too close. We spent 5-10 minutes at each tee box waiting for people in front of us. The staff even told us their goal was to run as many people through as possible. I'll to back. But it could definitely use some improvements.

Nice course in general

This is a nice course in general. We came back because we were in the area, and the greens had been some of the best around. They had several rough spots in them; however the ball still rolled fairly true most of the time. I wish distances were marked a little better. They did have colored buttons on most holes, but the were hard to find at times. A small stake that could be seen from either side of the fairway would be nice.

Windy day

Course in solid shape for this time of year. Looking forward to how it will be come spring. Sand traps are the biggest issue...but stay out of them and they don't matter.

Bear of a course to play on a cold windy day,, like today was in the afternoon. Course easily plays 30 to 40 yards longer.

Dothan national

Great course layout for sure! If the greens were consistent it’d be a great course. Every hole was either super slow or super fast. Other than that a great course. I’ll be back for sure. Mind you I’m playing in January so I guess that’s to be expected. Can’t wait to see what they have prepared for the summer!

Good Deal for the Money

Course and Staff were very nice. Just needs some TLC. My suggestion would be to drive your cart slowly as the fairways and paths are rather bumpy. Had a 5some let me through without asking
