Trying the course

Course is set up nice and beautiful scenery.
Greens are in good shape. That being said, half of fairways are in bad shape. Could hit a good shot and ball ends up in dirt crevices in fairway. Need to have work done

Thank you for the kind review of the setup and greens. The heavy snowfall (for our area) this February has left portions of the fairways lagging behind the rest this spring. They are healthy and greening up more and more by the day. We hope you have the opportunity to play us again when the course is greener!

Very Interesting & Unique Course

I played the course in early April and the fairways were still brown. It was cart patch only as a result. The greens were in very good condition and putted true. The course is narrow and the changes in elevation are dramatic. I enjoyed my game tremendously.

Greens have just had aerification

Besides the aerification of the greens the course played great. My second time playing here since they got the GPS carts. Nice for knowing how far from the hole you are but the creep down hills and bare moves at all if you get off cart path.

We are glad you thought the course played great. I'm guessing we had the carts slowed for rainy, wet conditions. Hopefully we can order up some sunny, dry weather for your next round with us.

Epic scenery

Second time playing here. Greens were in great shape. GPS on carts was a great help except when it told me I was off the cart path and slowed me to a crawl for about 70 yards (I was actually on the path). In the fairway is a MUST. If you look for your ball in the woods, you will find 5 or 6 while in there. Will play this course every time I am in the area. Great value, nice people and wonderful scenery.

A challenge for me.

This course is a challenge for me as I am not that good, but I still like to play it because of the challenge. New carts with GPS are a great help. Keeping it in the fairway is a must as the edges of the fairways is the edge of the mountains. Nailed it on 15. Not much wiggle room. The staff are professional and courteous. Other players at the course were very friendly and courteous also. I enjoy this course.

Mountain golf

The course was in great shape, fairways were dormant, greens were green and the traps were raked. The cart have the GPS system and while that is nice I think the money would have been better spent on re-doing the cart paths. This is a fun course and I will be back.

So glad you enjoyed your round here at Innsbruck, look forward to having you back. And trust us, if we could re-do our cart paths for anywhere near the cost of the GPS systems, they'd be done.

Innsbrook

My wife and I played this course for the first time. It is a narrow course but the ground slops back to the fairway most of the time. They had new electric golf carts with GPS location. The program had a lot of information including how far you would be from the hole if you put your shot in a certain location. It also knew when you were going down a steep grade and severely restricted the speed you could go in that section. It also knew if you drove the cart into a "restricted area" It was nice that they had GPS on the cart because my golf watch didn't work because the watch has the front 9 holes as the back 9 holes.
Overall it was a great experience, it was a georgeous day, beautiful scenery and some challenging golf holes.

Slow pace of play

The course needs marshals to help with the pace. It took us 5 hours to play 18 holes. Rude people behind us kept hitting into us. We could not speed up because there was a wait at every tee box. Not worth the $40 we paid to play.

Unfortunately the layout makes marshaling very difficult. We encourage golfers to phone the pro-shop with any on course problems so we can address them promptly. Sorry for your frustration, we will look to be better in the future.

Soso

Was excited to play this course. Mountains of North Georgia. I was expecting great views on the course, but most holes were in valleys. Very quirky setup. Hard to figure out where to go to next hole sometimes as cart paths were closed for repairs I guess. Course conditions were average at best. Slow greens.

Worth It

All in all, there are no really great courses in this area. This is the only one we looked into and was lauded as the best, the others being sub-par. The course was difficult with very tight fairways and lots of elevation changes. The fairways lacked some grass, indicative of the dry weather they'd been experiencing. The greens putted very well, not real fast, but consistent for sure. We played 18 Fri and again on Sat. Wouldn't play it routinely if it were one of my courses, but for the area, it's absolutely worth checking out.

Unbelievably poor conditions

Played here recently and cannot for the life of me see how anyone could rate this place above a one star! I have never in 35 years of playing golf seen a course in worse condition. The fairways are completely dead. Greens were surprisingly okay. Golf Now should not even include this course in their system until major changes are made in the fairway conditions. I was told at the end of the day by shop personnel that they had sent grass samples off to some place in Virginia to determine what is wrong. Unfortunate for this golf course in a beautiful setting to be in such condition. More unfortunate for the poor golfers who make the mistake of playing it after having driven over 40 miles.

Interesting course

It was a nice course had some fun holes but for my third game ever it wasn't the best course for my skill level. There is a lot of up and down, constant winds, and no room for error. Don't get me wrong once I get better I will be back, because it is a really beautiful course.
