Very nice course but weather was 30* night before so everyone started late. Challenging fir a golfer that just started playing 4 years ago with a 25 h/c Staff very nice and beautiful clubhouse. Course was in great shape. Would love to play again.

Hilly

Very nice course. A lot of uphill and down hill. Greens are very small but in very nice condition. Need to be able to drive accurately. There is no driving range. There practice putting greens. Grill was closed . Staff very helpful. I would play it again now that I know it better. Not long but challenging.

Short course but not an easy course

Greens were in great condition. One of the better courses in far North Georgia. Fairly short but a lot of up and down with blind shots.

Nice Experience

This course is definitely a challenge but very playable by all levels of golfers. I found no issues with the holes that 1 played, 1 through 9. Holes 10 through 18 were being maintained at the time of my round. The golf carts included coolers, ball and club head cleaners. I was greeted in the pro shop by a friendly and accommodating gentleman. My first 9 holes I was able to play very quickly but my second nine holes found me behind several very slow moving groups. So I cut short my round. However that did not detract from a very nice golfing experience at a very nice course. I would definitely play this course again and recommend it.
