Good course for the money.

The course was fun and enjoyable and I would recommend it. It did however need some maintenance on the greens. There was a lot of debris on the greens, leaves etc

Price okay! Staff so so! Course pretty bad!

$20 with cart on GN! Not bad! Guy at desk spoke but acted as if he was bothered to have to wait on us! Course: Tee boxes were scruffy at best, a lot of bald spots and long grass. Greens, you name it they had it, bald spots, ball marks everywhere, dead grass, bumps and humps, hydraulic fluid spills, tire tread marks, just poor overall. Could be a pretty nice track but the staff and the maintenance both seem to be lacking greatly. Last note, of course there was no marshall, we played behind an asian group that was so slow I thought for a minute we were going back in time? Terrible! Overall I would give them one more shot, maybe later in the fall.

Great shape. Great value

The fairways and greens were well maintained. A couple of the tee boxes were a little rough. Nothing unplayable, just could use a little TLC. I played the players tees - a mix of tips and blues - and shot an 82. As a 10-12 handicap, I felt right up my alley. A few holes make you lay up and I like that I had to use almost every club in the bag. Par threes were a good mix. All par 5's reachable for a longer hitter like myself. Must be accurate though because most of the approaches are tight. Great and fun course to play.

Course was in great shape. I own The Georgia Golf League and we always have The Trophy Club of Appalachee as a regular tour stop each year.

Should not be a first choice

The conditions at Trophy Club of Apalachee seem to vary considerably. I am a big fan of bent grass greens, but the greens at this course are not being properly maintained. This is an average layout and a few holes need some attention for the course to be reasonably playable. This is most true of hole number 8 where a good middle of the fairway tee shot will frequently tumble into a water hazard. The number 8 green is now basically bare and holding the green can be nearly impossible depending on pin position. Forget making a put of any length.

The staff does not manage the pace of play.

The practice facilities are better than average for a public course.

I will continue to play at this course, but only as a back-up and when the price is low.

I can't wait to come back when its not so rainy. I must say even with all the rain the course was in great condition. Grounds crew should be commended. This course is a keeper!

This has very challenging holes. If you don'y get the ball off the tee in good position you do have a challenge getting to the green

I would like to play at faster pace. It seems the member rule the pace of play. That is a concern; don't go looking for balls when I'm playing behind you.

Course is challenging from the tips.

The course is always maintained and stays in good shape. It is much more difficult from the back tees! I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Decent value for the cost. Good shape.

I found this course pretty challenging due to the tight fairways. There were a couple of longer par 5's as well. It is a shot-maker's course with high risk-reward, with several greens that you don't dare go long. I wasn't in love with the layout, but it IS a nice course.

staff not friendly

That day was rainy & foggy. The field was wet and a little slippery.The whole course was cart-path only.Of course took more play time. After finishing the fifth hole, The Marshall came to to us and complained us playing slow. It was rude asking us skiing playing that hole. That was one of the worst experience ln my golf career.

In good shape

Nice course played in spotty weather rained off and on. Course is in good shape. The greens have almost fully recovered from a recent aeration. They are rolling nice.

Not Up to Typical Standards

The Trophy Club of Apalachee generally has good quality greens and is well maintained. The greens are not in good condition and its seems likely that they will lose one or more of the greens this year. The course is very hard (ground) in some locations and it seems that some work is going into longer term improvements and no into maintaining day-to-day play condition. Still worth playing at the right price (<$40.00), but not on par with some recent seasons.

Challenging layout. Front appears tighter than the back. Type of club it is advantageous to have played once or more.

Greens are in excellent shape. A number of challenging par 4s and par 3s. A variety of features. Some tee boxes in need of attention and erosion and thin areas in places. Very undulating in some places. Greens are fair and not excessively tricked up - huge ridges, multi-levels and strange shapes. Par 3s from gold are longer than average. At least 2 of the par 5s are accessible in 2.

Great pace of play, fun and challenging course

The course isn't particularly long, but it is well bunkered and puts a premium on accuracy. The greens had been aerated earlier in the week, but closed in nicely and rolled well. In fact I had my best putting round ever there. Pace of play was impressive - 3 hours 15 minutes on a Saturday morning. I plan to return.

Overall, great course, will play again.

Front 9 tough and eases off to a little more friendly on the back 9. Challenging but satisfying at the same time.

Wanted to take the groom to play on his wedding day. Made the right choice by coming here but got backed up on the front and almost didn't make the wedding in time.
