Beautiful Course

The course conditions were excellent. The greens rolled true and the sand traps were maintained properly. We played off the gold tees (6400 yards). Can’t wait to get the opportunity to play there again. The 19th hole was large and the food was fantastic.

Beautiful spring day

Applecross was a great venue to play at during a weekday afternoon. Not crowded - friendly staff - nice amenities (range and putting green). Course layout was very good but not great. Some routine holes and a few “odd” holes that looked like they ran out of room and had to fit something in. Hit hybrids off of 4 holes because of restricted landing areas for driver. Greens had been recently aerated so not the best roll but that’s a function of time of year. The rest of the course was in great condition. 9th hole is spectacular par 5!

Long walk

Unfortunately my brother in law and myself played this course when it was cart path only. We’re both in our 70’s with physical problems so needless to say, we were whooped when we finished. I’m sure we would have enjoyed it a lot more if we could have driven to where we hit our balls. Also has a lot of doglegs and for the short hitters some forced carry off the tee. I would play it again as long as it’s not cart path only.

Beware 4 holes closed for winter, but great track and condition

I checked in to learn that 4 holes are closed down for the winter. I was advised that Golfnow app provides this detail, bit it is nowhere on app when you select course. The Pro staff were very friendly and helpful, but think GolfNow provides the closing details. Anyway , they recommend to play 4 holes of your choice a second time - very professional staff.

Heads Up

Four holes closed for winter and course recently aerated. Not shown on Golf Now while booking. Shame.
