Let down

After reading all the great reviews, I drove out of my way to visit this course. The course was extremely dry. The greens were soft and receptive but were a bit slow. There weren’t many holes that driver could be used on and quite a few of the holes had blind tee shots that suck for a first timer. I’d say this is a great course for people who live close but it’s not worth the drive if you live out of town

Challenging course for the average golfer

Lost a half dozen balls in the fairway. But found a dozen looking for mine. Bermuda was deep. Overall challenging layout but wasn’t to difficult for lower handicappers.

Went to have breakfast before round @10:30 but not open, then went for lunch at 1:30 and closed again. Unless you make the turn at noon you’d better pack a lunch.

No cart girls, old coolers with old water around the course. Bring your own amenities. But will go back some day

A Good Solid Golf Course

It's a long drive out there, but worth it. On the front nine, most of the holes go left; on the back, most go right or straight. Makes for an interesting layout.

Got some significant elevation changes - both up and down.

Overall, both greens and fairways were in great shape - even in hot August.

Greens are in good shape for the heat, holding well and rolling pretty true. Course has changed a lot since my last visit a decade ago, they have removed several hundred trees (and plan on removing more)... the holes by the Brazos have lost a little charm and a lot of the big oaks are gone now. Still a great course, a little more forgiving than it used to be, but the fairways are still tight. Highly recommended!

Great experience. Tough course

What a great faculty and staff. Everything was top notch and a joy to play. The course is in good shape considering all that it has endured with the flooding. Definitely not a course for the timid. It will challenge your skills! Would like to play again when my game improves.

Hidden Gem off I-20

I was looking for a course to play on my way home from Dallas to Midland. Used Golfnow to find a course with a good rating and this was on the top of the list. WHAT A CHOICE!!! This challenging course on the banks of the Brazos River is definitely a hidden gem. The course is filled with Dog leg Lefts and right hidden shots but a controlled golfer can play a decent round. Greens read true and hard but able to stick a ball when needed. The first cut makes the misses challenging but not impossible for the odd errant shot. Pace of play is great and the course staff is extremely friendly willing to help and keep the course moving and an enjoyable round. The drink cart is ready when needed and the clubhouse has drinks and coolers ready for the hottest days. The signature 12 shooting over the old mill is breathtaking and difficult(Picture attached) The Par 5 14th is currently under repair but plays as a Par 3 as they feverously work on getting it repaired. The course is in great condition and thumbs up go to the Ground staff. I will definitely play again next time I am driving by.

Awesome round of golf!!

The course was in great condition. The only thing was the rough was a bit tall. I scored the best round I have ever scored . I'm a happy customer.

Not worth the time

Roughy hadn’t been mowed in probably a week or more, grass clippings everywhere, 3 holes were closed which we found out when we got there. Greens were nice.
