Great course

Was surprised that some changes were made at the course. The gold course 1st hole has been switched to the Emerald 1st tee, and the Emerald tee was switched to the Gold 1st tee. Other than that, the rest is the same. Pace of play was good, and the course was in good shape.

Beware

BEWARE!!! Place is a money grab!!! Green Garden has been my home course for multiple years. Staff was always decent but it has fallen off the edge. First, I must say that the high school cart kids and starters are the nicest people in the world but the ownership and driving range attendants are awful. Was at the chipping green before a tee time and was kicked off because I was “abusing the course” for not buying a small bucket of balls. I was already paying for a tee time so they are just trying to get me to buy more so I can use the “free” chipping green and putting green. People inside are not friendly at all and seem like they think the world is against them. Truly feel sorry for them. Tee times are overpriced and cart path is a mess. Potholes galore. Oh also. They love to cancel tee times booked online so make sure you check your emails for random cancellations :) I recommend spending your well earned money at Sanctuary, Cog Hill, Prairie Bluff or Heritage Bluffs

Great day of golfing

Played the Gold course. Staff was fun and friendly. Course was in good shape. Greens we’re fast. Pace was good until some clowns probably got mixed up and appeared in front of us on the back nine and were really slow. It was just two of them and our foursome was all up on them for several holes Luckily they found their way back to the course they were supposed to be on so our pace picked back up. Otherwise it was a great day for golf.

Good course only one complaint.

Good course for the average golfer. Carts were by far the most comfortable I've ever driven. Seats are black which could be hot in the dead of the summer but no problem now. Only complaint was no cart person and no one at the house for food and drink after the 9th hole.

A nicely designed Course

But for the very strong chilly winds that nearly stopped me from playing, I really enjoyed this round of Golf.

The course is well designed and the directions to each hole are clearly marked. The tee boxes are in good condition and so are the greens: just remember, that they run, so don't putt too hard.

The Golf cart paths are not so great in a few places; but you could by-pass the pot-holes by riding on the grass around the pot-holes.

I would really love to play here again if possible and perhaps bring my Golf mate (Theo from London, U.K.) to play too.

Not for beginners

If you are just starting out & looking to play 18 holes, definitely go with the blue course first. This course was so challenging but definitely a wonderful experience. It’s very intricate, lots of water hazards, & opportunities to lose balls. Even if it was at the normal price this course is definitely worth it with how well kept & professional we felt playing this course. The layout of the course it’s self is a little hard to figure out with times you have to turn around, or where the cart path stops and you’re expected to take a chance where the next hole is. But the individual jokes themselves are so much fun & definitely worth it
