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.

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

Great greens

Fairways and tees are in good shape. Crabgrass and some weeds throughout the course. Greens are excellent since the switchover from bent to champions Bermuda. Was 3rd out but as a single, got around the 1st two foursomes, and was able to finish in less than three and a half hours. Ran into maintenance as they were watering greens. Had to wait on sprinklers to quit on two and three. Watch out for a couple of goofy holes with 16 and 17. Other than that, not a bad course.

Like the layout could use a little t.l.c.

Have generally enjoyed this course and considering all that the course has going on it was in pretty fair condition.

Good Course

Greens are now is the best shape I've seen them and for the money a very good course to play. Some holes are easy, however, serval will take a good score and turn it in to a okay day. Some holes you need to just hit to spots and not try to go for it.

This course was nice I love to play again in the late spring

In the fall course are not so nice but this course was pretty good to play. You have some nice features. The only bad experiences were the golf cart broke down on the 17 hole, but that was fun for us. I met three guys which I beat them.

If you enjoy pushing your cart. This is your course!

Let me start by saying I have never been to this course before and will not plan on going again. My son and I arrived to a group of people talking outside the pro shop. One of them eventually came inside and asked if we were the 2:45 group. I said yes and he issued us our first cart of the day and told us where the course began for front and back 9. We got to the 1st hole par 5 and teed off. Both of our first shots were short so the second stroke got us further down the course. This was my first experience with an electric cart and thought wow this thing is slow as we were going up the small hill we discovered it was slow because it was already out of juice. We made the decision to mark our shots and head back to the pro shop for another cart. We were issued another electric cart says gosh I don't know how that cart got on the ready line. I figure hey things happen and we went on our merry way. Front 9 were OK they had a temporary hole on 4. No body likes those but they are necessary from time to time. We started the back 9 both hitting much better and pushing fast to get done before dark. Unfortunately hole 11 was all we were going to get to this day because once again my no so electric new and improved cart was out of juice AGAIN. Really two carts in the same day...Nice. We abandoned the cart and walked. the next two holes. Finally deciding that hole 13 was going to be it as our speed of play having to walk the course was slowing down the groups behind us that had Carts... imagine that. We got one of the groups to help up push back the non electric cart back to the pro shop. By then it was after 5:30 and everyone in the pro shop had gone home. My take home is pack light for this fun experience because you are eventually going to be huffing around what you brought. We will defiantly not be returning.

Wrong course. The Griffin Country Club does not start with a par 5 off either side. Unfortunate that you mistakenly gave a bad review and posted it to the wrong course.

Challenging course

Griffin Country Club is in good condition......however they have had a few problems with a couple of greens. They were aerated and topdressed a couple of weeks ago, and the greens should be back to looking really good shortly!! Recommendation: stay out of the rough!!!
