Bobby Jones - Ross course
Not worth the price we paid, $109/player. No variety to the holes. Boring golf. Club house was mediocre at best. Looked like a mobile home. Just hot dogs and snacks. Course in raw condition.

Pleasant surprise
Played in windy conditions late in the day. We let 2 2somes play thru after showing up almost late because of traffic. Staff was understanding when we let them know we were behind schedule. After seeing poor reviews in previous years we gave it a try and were happy we did.
