Lovely course

Played Applecross yesterday for the first time. I played solo on a Monday afternoon. The course conditions were very good for this early in the season, and there was hardly anyone on the course, so I played a round in two hours, with scarcely anyone in sight. The course has a nice layout with a variety of holes and some good risk and reward decisions. Definitely a place I would recommend and play to return to play again. I didn’t spend much time in the clubhouse or restaurant, but it looked nice and it’s clear the club is well kept and re-investing in itself.

The hot deal was a good price, but was disappointed to learn when out on the course that 4 holes were completely closed and two more holes had multiple tees closed.

It would have been nice if GolfNow or the course itself would have posted that 4 holes were closed and 2 tee boxes were closed!

Holes closed and no one told us!

Overall it was a good day out. At check in we weren’t told about the 4 holes closed which was a little disappointing as we weren’t actually sure how many holes would actually be open!

We found out the 4 holes were closed and we were not informed either on Golfnow or at check in. Also, a couple of tee boxes were also closed with a mat to hit off of. I expected more from this course. The course was in good shape though.

Great first round of the year

4 holes closed. Allowed us to play holes over again to make up

For it. Course is in way better shape then expected considering weather in the area recently. Everything considered, a great day to scrape some rust off. DEFINITELY coming back this season to get to play the entire course.

4 holes were closed, fairways were under water

They should disclose that 4 holes are closed. Cart had to be swapped out on hole 3 because it wasn’t working. Fairways were completely drenched. Coarse should have never been open

Hidden Gem

Absolute great course. I hope I can get a chance to play this course in the spring when it’s warm outside. I was surprised how good of shape this track was in the time of year it is right now. Played in low 40’s in December and if I wasn’t an hour and a half away I would definitely be looking at membership. Great course and layout! Hopefully can play it again!

Applecross

This course was in excellent condition. Greens were a bit rough with un-repaired ball marks and somewhat slow but expected with recent hot weather.

Sending out singles, twosome and threesomes randomly doesn’t help much for pace of play either. We had a threesome behind us who was offered multiple times to play thru but instead chose to wait for every shot and make us hustle. Was super annoying and irritating.

Great play

Fun layout and can be very difficult at times with elevated greens and tight fairways

Unexpected great course

Decided to play a round of golf on Fourth of July last minute. Found a round available at Apple Cross which I did not realize had openings for the public. Had a great day and really enjoyed the course. Definitely planning to come back

day at Applecross

Course conditions were excellent. Greens were great to putt on. If you read it and stroked it right it went in the hole. Rough was plush and weed free. Enjoyable day. Won 7 ways so that helps.

Country Club vibes

Beautiful day at Applecross CC. Conditions were excellent. Played with some cool guys at just over 4 hours. Driver not needed on every non-par 3.Accuracy a premium. Amenities were great too. Will be back before the season is over and hopefully bring some buddies with me.
