New Name, great shape

The course is in great shape, especially the greens. The back nine showed some signs of aeration, but still rolled true. The fairways or nice, off the fairway can be tough, little long probably can stand for an inch or so cutoff, but still able to locate the ball. The staff was very friendly and helpful, actually let us tee off a little early knowing they had a group outing around 9am. I liked the course when it was under the name of Griffin Country Club, but really love the place now especially the Staff.

Great experience

This course is a must play!!!! From tee to green everything was in excellent condition. Fairways have bunkers (with real sand) many of the greens are protected by bunkers, the greens has some undulation ,depending on flag placement can make putting a challenge. The course is clearly marked for hazards & out of bounds.
It's worth the ride especially for the cost. Will definitely get the fellas together for a nice round of golf

Good course and great lay out

A lot of work had went into up keeping the course. Greens are in great condition. It's a fun course to play and from the back tees some holes are a great challenge Will need to hit the driver straight on a lot of holes. A good course worth the money. Play it and u will see

Charming older course

Wide fairways, Large greens. Several hills to add to the challenge.

Ladies tee are combined with the Men's white tees on some holes.....sorta strange.

A fun course....my wife loved it.

Maybe the top value in the area

The Club at Shoal Creek was formerly known as Griffin Country Club. It re-opened sometime in the last year with the new name & under new ownership. One of the first things the new owner did was replace the greens and it shows. For the most part, they are really in great shape. The course overall was in good shape, especially for the price. We paid $20+ tax and it is certainly the best course in this area I've played for that price. Looking forward to playing here more often as it is only about 20 minutes from my house.

Very nice course

Everything about this course is excellent. Greens, fairways, tee box all in excellent shape. This course is worth the drive down to Griffin.
Now the gps to find it is another story. You going to have to call club house to get direction.

Course is in good condition!

The course is a great little track. You have some blind shots that course knowledge is good to have but other than that course is in very good condition. We enjoyed the competition and experience.

Shoal Creek

Played the course a couple of times in the past few weeks.Tee boxes and fairways a bit thin and dry but fairways still nice.Bunkers in fairways and greenside very nice.Greens I think are new and in very ,very good condition.They are that new kind of green that doesn't leave much of a ball mark when you hit them and look very nice and are very challenging to putt.

OK Course if Close By

Today was the 3rd time I played this course.

I knew that the Senior group from the Links now play there and that most of them have never heard or SAID the words " PLAY THROUGH ". so I started on #5 in front of them.

At check in I was invited to play in the Senior Tourney that started in 90 min or so and declined ( last Tuesday of every month ).

What I wasn't told was that they would Shotgun Start at 10 am the entire course.

I got to play part of 10 holes, last two taking 30 minutes to play as a single.Expressed my concern when I quit, first offered a Raincheck, thought that was fair.

THEN the owner (? white haired guy ) said he would "give" me $3 off the next round and a bucket of balls REALLY ?

He actually thought it was funny that they shot gunned a Tournament around others on the course paying full price !

To be fair, my other 2 visits have been fine, but today was God AWFUL !

Call the course before you book ANYTHING !

Excellent value and worth the drive

Griffin was a long way for us to drive but Shoal Creek was certainly worth it. The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was excellent. Word of mouth will quickly spread about this great course, so play it now before it gets too crowded.

Ugh

Not sure what was worse the course or the people playing it. Between the extremely slow five-somes & six-somes that are not playing ready golf and driving their carts almost up onto the greens, it was brutal. Never again
