Really enjoyed the day!

Of course anytime you play in the winter you have to allow for those pesky seasonal conditions. Overall the course was in very decent shape unfortunately i played on a day soon after the greens were sanded which definitely impacted the score on a few holes. The dormant tight lies around the green were brutal as was the sand, but moral of that story I should have hit the green and not had to worry about those issues!! Nonetheless, I really liked the course layout, for the most part it was quite forgiving off the tee and there were ‘good’ places to miss on the approach (minus the aforementioned tight lies of course!). I can imagine the greens could be quite challenging on a summer day because of all of the undulations, so I definitely need to come back! Loved the course, would definitely recommend and will play again when I am in the area.

Oh, almost forgot, they have a couple elevated Par 3’s where you will definitely need a device that accounts for elevation change and wind, I think it was #15 that was showing over 200 on the scorecard but played about 140! What a beautiful hole!

Pace of play

The course is the best in the area and the amenities are great. This is the 2nd time that I’ve been there and played well over a 5 hour round. There seems to be zero pace of play enforcement, so don’t tee off after 12 or you may not finish.

Not the experience I expected

For a facility of this caliber to have to do everything was sad....I dropped our bags at the Bag drop or should I say in front of the Club House.....I parked and then proceeded to pay / check in.....only to have to load all of our equipment. My wife was walked away from by 4 staff members ouch not a good first impression. We were told to join another couple Great we love meeting new people drove down to the tee No we wanna play alone we take our time ok......Then only find ourselves being pushed all the way around by the couple....and behind them a 2 some and 3 somes......3 hours and 20 minutes to play 11 holes....btw this place has mud fairways and its cart path only I understand why......But the course is a great $29 track all winter....$75 in the summer unless it takes...6 hours......The pro shop staff was not warm and inviting the ranger only appeared after the cart girl called it in....Sorry at that point the experience was in the dumper......My concern is my time is worth something.....I paid for this experience..... was it worth my $$$$....... sadly not......Its a cool layout but 3 hours and 20 minutes to see 11 holes NOT....We have no clue what the last 7 holes look like.....sadly I may never......

Amazing Day

Farmlinks was in near-perfect condition, awesome layout, true Southern hospitality. We drove over an hour to get there but it was well worth the trip...we really didn't want the round to end!

Magnificent Course

This course is truly a pleasure to play! From the incredibly friendly staff to the delectable double cheeseburger, this place is more of an experience than just a round of golf. The tee boxes looked fake they were so perfect! Even though the greens were punched at the first of the month they still rolled true and surprisingly smooth. I will definitely be back and always recommending to friends and clients since the first time I played the course 5 years ago.

Very fun, wide open course

Beautiful course with tons of room off the tee and some very interesting holes with a lot of variety throughout. The par 3s are quite dramatic and, in some cases, play significantly downhill. The par 5s are rather straightforward and do not require a ton of strategy (hit it as far as you can) and I found the par 4s to have the most variability. This is one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I have played given the fact that you can be a little loose off the tee and still have a good angle into most greens. The fairways were in excellent condition. The bunkers were a little washed out (particularly on hole 17) and I was surprised how many golfers had clearly not fixed their pitchmarks as most of the greens were quite marked up. The greens were slowish and did not break a great deal which I actually enjoyed because you could be rather aggressive with your putts. Love this course and if they got people to fix their ballmarks I would say it is a perfect golf experience.
