Needs some work

I'm glad we paid only $35...kept losing balls in the rough, It was too long and the daisies looked like golf balls. Snack bar closed at the 10th hole, no cart person driving around. Water was plentiful and glad I brought my own bottle to keep refilling. Cart paths need a repave and Gold course hole directions need to be made more clear.

We love this course. The state of the course has improved so much over the past two years and we are happy to be able to play there again.

Needs maintenance

Both of the 18 hole courses at Green Garden were once well above average. Interesting layout yet still playable and great conditions. Conditions have deteriorated noticeable. The greens were nice, but most of the rest of the course was hard and dry. It looks like they have not been aerating. Many of the greens had a lot of weeds on them. I guess they are on a tight budget like many courses these days. Play it if you get a deal. Otherwise, there are better options.

Course in good shape for August

The greens and fairways are in good shape..some tee boxes are little wore , probably due to heavy play and less rotation.

Course is in great shape

The course was in great shape I had a 612 am tee time but the started let me get out early instead of setting me up with a threesome I was booked with. I played the course in 2hrs flat.

This course can lull you into mistakes pretty easily. Back of green run offs that you can't see from the fairway kind of things, and then the 18th. Someday I'll remember not to hit driver on this hole:) landing area with the driver is less then 10 yards wide with water on one side and giant trees on the other.

Definitely worth a play and always has good rates.

The Gold course is tougher than the Blue course.

The gold course has more desired landing areas to stay out of trouble. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Pace of play around 4 hours while waiting only a couple of times. I would say the Gold course plays about 5 shots more than the Blue course. Can't go wrong with either course.

Terrible

They lied to Golf Now when I tried to get a raincheck after I only played 12 holes. They told Golf Now they saw me on the 18th hole. It was a total lie. This golf course is a joke with terrible staff and customer service. Do not pay to play here ever.

Wide Open Memorial Day weekend

Booked a round midday Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Was forecasted to be the only nice day of the weekend so I expected a packed course. Not only was the course completely open, but it was a gorgeous day. Wide open fairways, but quite a few trees, bunkers, and water hazards on the Gold course make it scenic challenge. Glad I found this green oasis tucked away in the farm fields of rural Frankfort.
