Nice course, inconsistent conditions, fair value

It’s winter, so I expect courses to not be in their best condition. The course is in decent shape, with some greens being in good shape and others being beat up. The course is definitely a work in progress.

That all being said, for the price point it is a fair deal and a good afternoon in the sun. I’ll definitely play again.

Course Review

No deli/ food. No beverages/ beverage cart. I paid $59/ person to play, paired with people who payed $30/ person. Grass was dry in many places, even on tee boxes. Grass on the greens was poor on most holes.

Our Golf Experience

We believe this golf course could be a destination golf course. The layout was beautiful! The course is not well maintained with goose poop everywhere and also the course is not well marked. There was a huge branch that had fallen on the cart path and we had to go off the trail on a leaning surface to get by the the huge fallen tree branch. This course if maintained , would honestly be top rated with it's wide fairways and beautiful setting. We hope somebody will begin to invest some time.and.propee.maintenance to make this course what it was intended to be.

Good not great

Beautiful course and beautiful weather make up for a 5+ hour round. Tee boxes and greens are good, fairways as usual at this time of year a little spotty in places.

Greens roll true which was nice.

Staff was great. Restaurant looked good but closed before we finished.

Takes a while to get to the course from Highway 49 so plan some extra driving time.

Decent Course, rough Greens

Around 9 am tee time and finished in 4 hrs 6 mins with a foursome. You will almost always be paired up if you don’t have a full foursome. Pace play went really well, we had a beginner and stayed right on pace with the foursome in front of us, never waited on them and always saw them. There is no cart service or quick access to any snacks near the turn, have go through the club house and takes time. The driving range doesn’t allow you to hit any club that goes over 200 yards so forget practicing your driver. No chipping green and a decent size putting green. They do have a sand area to hit from the driving range. Carts could use a club/ball cleaner but the ball cleaners were open on each hole. The worst part about this course is the very inconsistent greens. Some were ok but others were in bad shape and sand was showing through. Some of them were also water logged at noon and almost felt spongey, trying to judge speeds was fun… The rest of the course was in decent winter shape, (fairways, tee boxes, rough) Overall a pretty decent course for around $55 a person.

Beautiful weather and the scenery. Good pace of the play.

Friendly and courteous staff made up the stalled cart. Beautiful weather and the scenery were worth driving 65 miles one way and the winding roads leading to the course. The whole atmosphere reminded us of the Georgia golf courses when we enjoyed playing the mountain courses over 23 years ago. Fairways were not well maintained and there were some wet spots. Greens were quite erratic that some were fast and others were extremely slow. The marshal came around several times asking me if everything was okay. Our cart just stalled a few minutes after the marshal drove by. It only about 15 minutes to get the replacement cart when our cart stopped near the green. Since it started getting dark already when we completed our round in less than 4 hours, we didn’t have time to check out the fancy looking restaurant. Maybe we will do that when we come back during the Summer. Will definitely return for a round of golf when the weather starts warming.
