Aerated but still good

We didn't know the course was aerated before paying full price. This is a good course It was a little rough in spots but what public course isn't. The layout offers a challenge from the tips without being too hard. Will like to play it again when the greens are fully healed.

There was no aerification alert when I booked and maintenance was being done on numerous holes. Maintenance staff also did not care if they were in our way at all. They made no attempt to stop what they were doing to let us play through and expected us to play around them. If maintenance needed to be done, I get it, but let people know ahead of time. I would have chosen another course if there was an aerification and maintenance alert.

Not the course I recall

Staff was surly. Seemed like we were in the way range was closed. We were pushed to complete the front nine in a hurry to clear for a scramble.

Just was not the experience we had expected

Greens were crap

When I first moved to the Ariel 10 years ago the course was perfect however even in drought conditions The $30 twilight price was not worth it. Little one the $75.09 AM price

This is a great course for the money

Definitely a great value for the money. Greens were in pretty good shape (grainy and slower but rolled good) and the course layout is one that your driver stay in the bag on a few of the par 4s off the tee. Driving range was closed but staff was friendly overall. The fairways are a bit hard and lost a few balls that were piped down the middle that must have rolled in the deep rough that should’ve been easy finds, but overall it’s hard to find a course in this good of condition in the price $ range.

Always good, especially early

Love making the trek to Appalachee, playing early (7am) is a bonus as ut tends to get slow.. Avoid the 5-6 hrs rounds this way. Course is in good shape, extra roll as ground is hard. I will be back

This course was in good condision

I have played here a few times. There were a few greens that had some problems. The greens had been sanded but not too resent.

It plays short and the course is a challenge. Over all it was a good day of golf.

Course was rough

Course was in pretty bad shape. Tee boxes, fairways, rough and cartpaths need a lot of work. Greens were in great shape. Staff was friendly.

This place could thrive under proper management.

Last bucket is sold at 6:30pm on a Friday when sunset is 2 and half hours after that. Showed up at 7pm and got denied access to the range even though there’s 20 people already hitting on it. I shouldn’t have to call two hours before sunset on a Friday to ask when last bucket it to know if I can drive all the way here or not. Management fix this stupid ******* rule and I’ll remove this review.

Honestly never coming back here. This place is sub par at best. Course is terrible managed. Greens are the only thing they care about. Tee boxes, rough and other areas of the course is just rocks and clay. Pace of play is terrible. No rangers to do anything about it. There’s a starter but he’s just there to get your name for the cart. He doesn’t ever do his job and maintain pace. Prices are high here too. $90 on the weekend. I only ever come here rarely for 9 holes in the evening and it’s $30. I wouldn’t ever pay for more to play here. But doesn’t matter because I won’t be returning here. Getting denied a bucket of balls while 20 other people hit on the range because I showed up 30 mins after 6:30pm. Sunset is literally 8:57pm. It gets dark at 9:30pm. Last bucket being 6:30pm is the stupid business decision I’ve ever seen. I wonder how much money they deny from people showing up after last bucket. It’s literally free money. Absolutely ridiculous.

First Time Playing

Good value

Nice course. Course was relatively well maintained, however, tee boxes and fairways in several holes had some pretty significant damage. Pace of play wasn’t too bad. We only caught up to a group once and they let us play through. Staff wad nice enough. Pretty cool layout that required going under a busy road on the front and back.

Will not be back

Never seen. course which such huge gaps between the rough and cart path..

Huge erosion and struggle to get cart back on path on 14th

So many edges of the rough are just a mess. Right of 5th and 11th etc

Some fairways covered with red clay from run off in front of 13th green..

Cart restrictions on fairway seemed random

My playing partners lost 6 balls playing the terrible 14th hole.

They advertise it was voted 15th most improved course in America. I can not comprehend how bad it must have been

At least the carts were good

Will not be back

Crooks that take your money

This place is bank robbery. Had to work and I get charged as if I played this course. Never will get my business from me or my friends again. This is totally unacceptable. Will pass the word to my golf group and everyone I know. No more green from me and my friends at the crooked place. So long
