Things I liked:

- The tees and fairways were in good condition.

- The layout of this course is interesting. You have 3 consecutive short par 4s finishing the front 9, and the back 9 uses some elevation changes and well-placed hazards to keep you on your toes.

- Two 4somes let our faster playing 2some play thru… Thank You!

Things I did not like:

- What used to be #1 on Gold is now #1 on Emerald; and what used to be #1 on Emerald is now #1 on Gold. I don’t like this because the former #1 on Gold was one of the best holes on that course.

- Bunkers are bad. Greens were slow and full of pitch marks. Did my best by repairing at least 3 marks a green.

- This course is incredibly overpriced. Every guy I spoke with on the course was only out there because of a deal time off the internet… myself included.

Things important to me:

- Rates are posted on their website.

- Though there are a few uphill walks, and longer strolls between holes, but the Gold course is very walkable.

- They used to have water coolers out on the course, but on the day I played they were gone.

Excellent Southside track

Just moved down here and played Gold because it was said to me more scenic & challenging. It was. Good choice! Course was in really good shape. Pace of play was good. We let a pair of twosomes through because we were golfing with a newbie. Pro Shop staff was super accommodating & friendly. Ranger came down on us because we were a little slow. Told him we have let two twosomes play through so he backed off. 19th hole was nothing spectacular but doable. I plan on making this a must stop again!
