You Get What You Pay For

Nicest course I've ever played. Unfortunately, it was cart path only and the course was very wet when I played. New golf carts has GPS screens with course and hole details, including range finder. Staff was welcomed me as a newcomer and spent extra time with directions. Concrete trail paths and beautiful wooden bridges. Lots of wildlife. I'll be back and will consider joining since it's the closest course to my home.

Magnolia Green

The course conditions were as follows; fairway and greens were excellent. They had just received overnight rain but everything drained very well....except the bunkers...which were full of water. It doesn't look like the bunker problem happened overnight though. Washed out and hardly any sand. This is a problem they need to fix!

Greens are like the surface of the moon

This course is going downhill and it’s not worth the $90+ they charge on the weekends. It’s deplorable that nobody repairs their pitch marks on the green. Some of the greens are almost unplayable due to the amount of unprepared pitch marks leftover. Some of the fairways are also in rough shape with bare/dead spots.

These are problems they need to get addressed if they want to call themselves a “world class” golf course.

Won’t be back anytime soon.

It's been better - needs work

Great layout, nice amenities, friendly staff. Overpriced for current conditions. Greens are tired, sandbunkers and tee's have seen better days. $105 no way better to be found. Hopefully they'll get it back in shape.

Not to MG standards - in need of work

For an expensive course this certainly didn't look or feel the part. Tee boxes are worn out greens plugged and slow, area's around greens torn up. Sand bunkers were hit or miss, shape wise. Cours4 just needs work and attention. Wouldn't think of paying $105 for this course when many in area are in better shape. Love the layout, lady in snack house was terrific and check in was seamless experience. Overall a weak 3.

Members Abuse Course

Complaints first…

The sand traps throughout the course were not raked - had one of those days where I seemed to find all of the traps. At least three times, I was in a footprint that was not raked. Once on the greens, I repaired many ball marks. My comments were confirmed by the staff as to quote “the members do not see it as their responsibility- the course should hire someone to take the traps for the amount they pay”. This is enough for me not to return.

The ladies tees were random at times as it was an afterthought and put two reds markers in the ground.

The starter allowed a group to jump ahead of us and slowed us down - very irritating.

The positives…

The course layout is wonderful and is challenging for all handicaps. Many, many sand traps well placed throughout - just wished they were playable.

My wife is a 30 handicapper and can play this course - didn’t have to hit 100 yard shots over water!!! I am a senior and found the white tees challenging and fair.

Greens/Traps

This is a great layout and the greens are usually very nice. I know they punched them last week and they are healing, but the amount of sand on some of the greens left a few nearly unplayable. In addition, most of the traps are in terrible condition. For such a nice course, the traps really detracts from the experience.

Greens need work

Played the course with a local person who is familiar with the layout. The greens are rock hard every approach shot hit the green and rolled off the back of the green our entire group experienced this all day. The group in front of us was miserably slow we waited on every shot as the round was over 5 hours. No course ranger in site

Challenging for all Handicaps

Tee boxes are for all levels - I am a senior and was competing against the “young” generations and the tees were set fairly as I was able to compete (actually won!).

The course is getting much better - stopped playing there because the sand traps were unplayable - they has been a lot of improvement The greens are in good shape - easy to read and a little slow. Still be aware of chipping downhill to the pin.

Beautiful layout - each hole is unique and is private (meaning that you don’t see another hole from where you are). Winds through the neighborhoods and is fun to look at the houses!

Not my cup of tea

The first time playing this course. I live very close to this course and hadn't played since it was a 9 hole course. I really just didn't want to pay the price they were asking because I didn't think it was that great when it was a 9 hole course. A friend and I saw a hot deal and decided to give it a go. He had played there before and liked it. I really didn't like the layout and it wanders through a neighborhood with houses lining most of the fairways. The staff was friendly. I just thought it would have been a nicer course for the money.

Great layout.

Course was in average condition. I have played here about 10 times and this is probably the worst that I’ve seen the fairways
