Very Slow Round

The pace of the group in front of us was excruciatingly slow (3 1/2 hrs. for 9 holes). Thankfully they quit after nine holed. We did play the last 9 in 2 3/4 hrs for 4 golfers. The course could use a ranger.

Fairways and some t areas need improvement. I would also suggest small painted stakes on the side of the fairways to indentify 100 yr mark as the markers in the ground are extremely hard to see.

Great course....Great Staff

This is not my first time playing at this course and it will not be my last time playing this course. I believe the course has certainly transformed into a course that is enjoyable to play and worth driving to. I really like what the owner, Scott, has been doing to make this course something to be proud of. He has hired a great staff who treat people with kindness and respect. I must tell you there are many courses within an hour of where I live, but this is the course I prefer I prefer to drive to and play. Scott, please thank Nick and tell him he is doing a great job.

Super dry conditions

I like the course layout and the greens were OK but the fairways are in very poor condition.

There were very few spots where you landed on any decent grass. I hope they can bringing the fairways back as it could be a dry good course.

Love this course and it went downhill last summer. The greens are fine but fairways need more work. Whatever they did on #14 they need to do on the other fairways.

Sand city

They took a nice track of sand and sprinkled some grass on it. Tees, fairways and greens sandy, staff was rude at best and amenities were missing in action. If you can score 18 here for less then 20, Id give it a go. ANYTHING other then that and I would skip. They do include range balls with every tee time and thats nice.

Fairways need work

The tee boxes were in good shape and the greens were in great shape. But the fairways were for the most part were very sparse and few times were just plain dirt/sand.

whatt happened ?

I played this course years ago when it was called Southern Woods. Hale Irwin designed it and its a good championship layout....But the place is unplayable if you are like me and play the ball as it lies. Horrible conditions. Horrible dirt lies in the fairway. If you are a fluffer, maybe its OK. The guys I played with fluffed every lie.

Absolute dump

The title really says it all. What a dump? Lady in pro shop at check in rather rude, no starter, no cart girl, and not hardly any grass anywhere on course. Will NEVER return.

Gone way downhill

I played thus about 2 hrs ago and it has gone way downhill. Why no grass? No fairways, no tee box. Greens were OK. I'm giving it a two just to try to bring down these 5 star people who must be members or owners. If they think this is a 4 or 5 then they're not golfers. Extremely disappointed. Should be a $20 round of golf.
