Great round and worth the money.

Good round. Was able to play by myself and the pace of place was cool for the entire round. Great greens, reading as pure as they can for the weather. Challenging holes and pin locations too. Always my favorite to play when I’m in town.

Good Round

The course is in very good shape. The greens are scary fast. The pace was the only problem.

New Year’s golf

Course is in great condition. Greens are extremely fast and smooth. Only had two negative factors, one was got behind a group of four that held us up all day and there was nobody in front of them. I truly wish they would put a ranger on the course to speed people up. The other thing is the way they got the GPS set up. They were multiple times we would be riding on a cart path and our cart we get locked down saying we were in a restricted area. I seen it happen to multiple people all over the course they really need to figure that out.

Greens are getting vetter

Greens are getting even better. Rolling pretty true and fast. Greens are softening up a bit and are being a bit more receptive. Great course.

Great recovery in motion

Storm recovery is progressing well; new cart paths are fantastic and course layout is a gem; club house staff could be more welcoming and offer insights such as “cart paths only holes” or “driving range is closed” without prompting from customers. Otherwise, great experience with a fantastic course in December. Thanks!

So not sure when they raised the prices. Greens were fast, but definitely need to be cut better.

great course

Haven’t been there in probably over a year. Everything was in great shape. Fairways were very lush and the greens were lightning, fast and pure. If you play here be prepared for several three pots.

New Greens are great

New greens are awesome. Super fast and roll true. Play the 'release'. Pace was a great and larger groups let me pass through. Friendly staff. Still a lot of debris from Hurricane Helene, however, that is the case with 99% of courses in the CSRA right now. Price has gone up, however landing a Hot Deal or walking the course is so worth it.

Greens are great!

Weird playing here after Hurricane Helene uprooted over 1200 trees but the course conditions are great. Greens were recently renovated over the summer and they’re nearly perfect. Much better than before! Getting there and will be perfect.

SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!

I realize at noon on Saturday, you won't have a speedy round of golf, but this was ridiculous. 10 minutes before our tee time there were five groups waiting in front of us. On the 3rd tee, there were 3 groups including us waiting to tee off. Throw in almost five hours on the course and we were finished about 5 1/2 hours after our tee time. They had done a commendable job getting all the trees blown down from hurricane Helene pushed into piles. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were good, but the greens were too way too fast for the average golfer, which contributed to the slow pace of play along with groups in front of us spending way too much time trying to find balls the went into the piles of debris from the hurricane. Two groups just packed it up and left it was so slow. If you know conditions are going to slow play, I suggest you space out the tee times a little, so at least you can tee off at the right time.

Hurricane mess

Course was hit hard by hurricane. Cart path only for what appears to be for a while. Greens were fine. Ball off fairway can sink into grass and disappear. Paying 58 bucks was not worth the time
