Will go back.

The fairways and greens were nice and in good shape. Players there need to do a better job of repairing their ball marks on the green, but the greens rolled nicely. The tee boxes on the other hand need some work. You have to move around a number of the boxes to find a flat lie. There were a few tee boxes that need some help with the grass, as they were quite bare. Aside from the teeing area, it is a nice track. I will play again.

It was a nice course

I will certainly play the course again. It was a great course for the value. There were a few places on the course where repair of the fairway were needed but overall it was in average condition. The greens were fast and challenging and the holes were challenging as well. I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Best bang for your buck

This was probably the best bang for your buck course in the Gwinnett area. The greens are almost perfect and consistent. The course was very challenging with slopes, hills, water hazards, thick out of bounds trees and shrubs. Most holes, even if your ball lands in the middle of the fairway, the ball is either down or up slope, and/or above or below your feet. The greens are wide but narrow... it's forgiving if you don't hit the ball on target at the pin because of the wide greens. But because it's narrow, you will be in trouble if you don't know your club length.

Needs some work...

Lots of work needed on teeing ground, some fairways and greens. May be the time to change to Champions bermuda from the current bent grass greens.

Can't get excited about this track...

Needs work

The course needs work: not grass on tee boxes, cart paths are in terrible shape, fairways/rough are cut very short allowing your ball to roll out of the fairway or into unplayable situations. Staff was not friendly.

The greens are in very good shape and rolled very well.

Nice Course

We had 9 guys out golfing this course and had a good time. We were a little upset that the ranger confronted our first group and said we were an hour behind when the time on their cart said they were right on schedule with the pace on their cart.

2nd hole can be tricky to find... one of our 3 groups went to hole 8 instead of hole 2 and that threw them off.

Staff in pro shop was great.

Greens were in good shape.

Fun course.

Course needs maintenance

The tee boxes are in poor condition. The greens are ok but were slow. There are WAY too many areas on the fairways that are neglected. The course is OK if you get a cheap price because it reeks of cheapness, especially compared to other area courses. Obviously, the course management is not spending a dime on up keep.

good shape for early april

Course was in good condition for this time of year.
They have cleared a lot of trees around several greens and have improved line of site on some doglegs, which is great.

Hopefully this is a work in progress

I had never played Trophy Apalachee though it is in my area of play. My playing partner refused to play there due to poor conditions, I should have listened to him!

The club house was nice, as was the personnel who were very friendly. The practice putting surface was excellent, the driving range was fair. Unfortunately when we hit the course the deteriorated conditions were very apparent. Some greens and tee boxes were in excellent shape, most were not.

The fairways were in winter mode, which as we all know means lots of roll which isn't bad. What is bad, is that there is no rough off the fairways, just hard ground, thus well placed shots on many slanted fairways just roll off into the woods.

There is a lot of trees that have been taken down laying about, and evidence of big equipment that has moved about tearing up the course. Hopefully this is evidence of an improvement plan in progress. I like the layout out, and with some TLC this could become a very nice course. Unfortunately, the cost of the round versus the conditions is a very bad value.

Rules, rules, rules

We had a 1:00 Tee Time but guy in pro shop wouldn't let us leave early because we were on a preferred rate. So, our 1:00 time became a 1:15 time due to a late 12:50 threesome that slowed everyone down. At the turn, the snack bar staff was more interested in talking than serving customers, a BIG FAIL. Greens in great shape, but the paid staff of this place needs training. Decent marshalls, but lacked authority, since it took several times to get slow threesome moving. Better on back nine.
