Excellent Course for Masters Week

Char Cormier (Director of Golf/GM) and his outstanding staff had the course in excellent playing condition for this year's Masters Week despite the incredible loss of hundreds of trees during Hurricane Helene. While the view was certainly changed, the course was in top-rate playing condition. A wonderful track offering a moderately difficult challenge from the Blue/White tees. The cost was as expected for Masters week, but we were more than impressed and actually went back the following day to play it again. The supporting staff at the course deserves high marks as well. We were greeted immediately at arrival by a team that made a bunch of strangers feel like members for the day. Great attitude and attention to the little details that make the experience even more fun. Strongly recommend you check this place out and make a point to meet/greet Char and his awesome team.

Only recommend on Hot Deal!

I was excited to play this course because I always heard great things. Not impressed! Pace of play was slow and I’m glad i got a hot deal. I would never pay full price if I play this course again.

Nice but still needs work

Course was closed for numerous months to resurface all the greens and then they opened with much higher rates, the greens still need work, if they were fully resurfaced then some of it didn’t take. Still see visible signs of the old damaged areas. For the hike in price I expected the flaws they had to be gone.

Course Review

The course was in good condition considering the devastation from the recent hurricane which took many, many trees down. Greens were good. All in all an enjoyable course to play.

Great trip!

The course was extremely hard, and the greens were very fast. The pace of play was very slow, but typical for a Saturday. We ended up joining a pair in front of us but an old couple kept calling the clubhouse five times complaining about pace of play, but there’s really nowhere for anybody to go, plus the clubhouse was very cool about it. I think the price is kind of steep but great conditions so hard to beat the experience.

A good test of skills.

Even though it was early in the year, the course was in remarkably good shape. They lost a lot of trees last year but they are quickly recovering. Pin placements were brutal but that’s to be expected when the home college team is in town and practicing.

All-in-all, great course. I played it in 4 hours which is quick on a public course. I will be back.
