hidden gem

this course works well for one who desires to spend quality time in the "park" without being pused or slowed down by other golfers.

It is a very peaceful place and most inportantly the best value course i ever played without sacrificing quality.

Above all management makes efforts to keep the course in good shape. Recognized a few improvements on bridges etc..yesterday.

Only reason why I did not rate it 5 star is for the many neglected pot holes on the cart paths.

I encorage you to continue your great efforts.

We intend to keep coming back and supporting you.

Thank You for past few years of enjoyment.

It was a good day

The course was unusually vacant - the day after Fall break for the schools. Greens were just right, except a bit slow after an earlier rain shower. Weather was perfect for leisurely play. I played one of my better games. One triple bogie, one errant drive, couple birdies to an 88: usually have a low to middle 90s.

Not for GolfNow people

The proshop attendant openly admitted the course wasn't accommodating to GolfNow users. I booked 3 days ahead but he said he never saw my reservation so I was booked over. But the funny part is he said this happens so the time.... Blamed it on GolfNow

I enjoy playing this course, the green were in great shape and the fairways were okay, we need some rain. Some holes are easy to score on and others you will need to play smart. Overall, i like this course and will play again

Blame it on heat

My only excuse was the heat. Played very bad on the front nine. One of my best rounds on the back nine. As for the course, conditions were pretty good. A couple tee boxes were a bit shaggy and a few greens were in bad shape; dead/deceased spots. Used a $10 promo code for a $10 hot deal and only paid the GolfNow fee.

The bunkers need a little maintenance and the greens were pretty hard. We were landing 150 yard shots on the greens and the ball wasn't even leaving divot marks.

Overall good course. Fairways in good condition. Greens on the front were faster than the back. I believe the course must've been recently aerated so unable to cut both sides equally. Plenty of cold water was available to drink on course. Great for the money. A hidden jewel and a must play course. Bring your game.

Good course layout.

Greens were decent but still haven't fully come in yet. Rough was very rough with 3" inch deep clover just off fairway. Overall, was having a very enjoyable round until we ran up on a FIVE-some, which I've encountered here before.

I like this course and will continue to play here, but a marshal would be great. Good course for the $$$.

Shoal Creek

Course was in good conditions, greens were slow due to extreme watering. There was still water in the cups in the afternoon on a 90 degree day. Overall, it was very good for the money paid.

Good in the area

I was looking for a golf course in the area, and this one had the best Hot Deal price. Not a particularly difficult course, but it has some sneaky hazards running thru some of the fairways. A range finder will come in handy. Greens were surprisingly fast. There were still aeration holes but it didn’t affect the speed as much as the toll.

Good Layout, Great Value

We like this layout and the course was playable for this time of year. Greens rolled true and there was nice sand in the bunkers. The fairways and tee boxes were still dormant but the staff was putting down fertilizer so hopefully it won't be long. We'll be back again.

Needs Work

Just moved to the area and was trying out a new place. The course had pretty good reviews so I thought I'd try it out. Not very busy so that was nice. I was wanting to play alone and work on my game as I've taken off a lot of the winter. Took about 10 minutes to get someone in the clubhouse that could get me signed in. There was not appropriate signage to direct you to the the 1st tee. Took me a minute to find it. Course was very wet as it's been pretty rainy here lately but some spots were just plain muddy. Lost a ball that should have ordinarily been in play in the fairway. Greens were painted green. I think that looks tacky. Understand why but this looked like a poor job to me. Overall, probably won't be back. Okay but I prefer a nicer experience especially since there are nicer courses in the area for the same price.
