Good value

Tee boxes & greens could use some TLC but great value for the price if you want to keep your game tuned up. As one of the only courses that was open in the area during the shutdown, it got SUPER busy and slow.

Great value and good walk

It’s a city course so don’t expect East lake. The course layout is truly interesting and fun. The greens are sub par but everything else is entertaining. The walk is equivalent to 44 flights of stairs so there is some elevation. I’m a stump meter the greens would be an 8 or less versus Bobby Jones where the greens are a 10+ in the meter. But great value for the $$$.

Fun Course to Walk, Much Less $$$ Direct

We really enjoyed walking this course today. Our only regret was not booking directly. Golfnow almost always charges a discount rate. But not for this course. We could have paid just $7 (senior rate for 9) had we booked direct. Cost $16+ instead. For 9 holes, walking

First tee.

If you are a beginner golfer I would recommend this course for you. A lot of leverage to help you get your golf ball get to the pin. The hills help carry your ball but you better hit the ball straight to make par! Great course!

Great customer service

Alaygra greeted us with a smile and thanked us for our business

Fairways in great shape and rough not too high

A couple of the greens are stressed from the heat but the others rolled good

Good track to walk and work on your swing

Bad start

The start was a cluster fuc. The starter was not by the first tee, so there was no direction as to who was up next. It was 9 am Saturday so lot of people started showing up. One single player jumped in front of all of us and was going to walk solo until another group of two decided to join him. With no Marshall around, we just let it happen so we were 15 minutes late teeing off. Once we teed off there were no more issues

Good bang for your buck

I’d be lying if I said the tee boxes and greens were well manicured. I’d also be lying if I said the staff were friendly and accommodating. Would I ever play this course without the $9 hot deal? Absolutely not. But with that deal it’s too good to pass up. $9 for an executive course, cart included?!? It’s a great course for when you’re looking for an excuse to play and able to grab that $1/hole hot deal.

Not friendly

Went to play a round of golf by myself at 11am and I went thought golf now to book my tee time. When i arrived i was ready to go, but the lady behind the counter made me wait for someone else, because they don't have a enough golf carts to let singles go out, and she told me she didn't like the fact that i used Golf now to book my tee time. So i waited 15 minutes for this person who never showed up and the lady wouldn't let me go. So i decided to walk the coruse instead. After a few holes I noticed that there was 3 singles playing and each of them had their own carts. Ill never be playing here again. The greens are terrible and this course isn't kept up. The lady told me that they wont be renewing their lease with golf now and they are going to be charging $25 a round hahaha this course isn't worth it. Save your money.
