Got in on a “Hot Deal”, night before we played. Worth the money, much better than some of the other courses in the area.

Great course

The course is in great shape except for some of the pitch marks on the greens... but that’s because people don’t bother to fix them when they play! First time playing there and the staff went out of their way to get me to the first tee on the Turtle Run... it’s kinda far from the club house. Can’t wait to play the Deer Run course next. Definitely one of my new favorite tracks!

Great coirse

Love playing here. The 160 mile round trip, is worth it. Course is always in great shape, greens always putt true, and layout is challenging, but fun. We battled wind all day, and still had a wonderful round; finished in 3.5 hours.

Disappointed

We booked a 12:26 tee time, a week in advance, plenty of other tee times available. When we checked in we were told it was a shotgun start. Mentioned we had a tee time and not part of the group gathering for shotgun start. We were put on hole #1 to start and were told to just wait there for someone to take us out to hole since it quite a distance from clubhouse. All other carts pulled away and we had to ask several times who would be taking us to hole. When we got to the tee we were the one of four groups on that tee. We had to wait on every shot. Sometimes 3 groups on the time together so extremely long slow round. They were playing a best ball outing. The group in front and back kept asking why they didn’t put us on the other course.

The positive is the course is nice. Tee boxes perfect condition, fairways nice and not cut to tight so easy to hit off. The rough wasn’t bad either. The greens are in good shape just a bit slow, slower than practice green. But the greens held well, I had missed my share of greens but was able to chip close. We all scored well despite the long day of constantly waiting.
