Was a great day

Played Masters weekend so for the money it was a great deal. Course is very generous off the Tees. What you see is what you get. Greens were rolling true and in great shape. Were paired with to English Gents and had a great time. I would play this course again with any level of golfer as it was fun and not to challenging of a layout.

Straight Forward and well kept.

Greens were soft and rolled well.

Course layout was straight forward and simple without blind shots.

Decent value except that prices double during Masters week. LoL.

Not my first choice in Augusta

I'm from the Augusta area and regularly play the local public courses like Forest Hills and Bartram Trail. I saw this course with a weekday hot deal for $17 total with fees and figured I'd try it out given the relatively good reviews online. Overall, this is a very average course that is not on the same playing field as the other public courses I mentioned. The greens are OK but not great. The fairways were very hard and dried out in many places. However, for the money it is about what you would expect. The one thing that really got me was the pace of play while I was there - ended up leaving after the front 9 because it was so slow. Not terrible for $17, but will likely spend the $5-10 extra to play somewhere else next time.

Fun course

The course was in good shape despite all of the rain we have had. The greens were surprisingly firm as well even after the rain. Played in a little under 3 hours even with several groups in front of us.

Hot deal is the best!

Hot deal is the best!... this course never disappoints. For winter golf it was in fine shape and was a beautiful day. The holes lined up for continued challenge and the risk reward is always there. My fifth or sixth time playing, it’s always a pleasure… Chipping, putting, driving range are above average.

Best for the money

I love this course! Fairways are wide open. Conditions have been near perfect all season. Layout is suitable for a high handicapper like me. Staff is helpful and friendly, Other than tournament weekends, pace of play has ranged from moderate to wide open. Highly reccommended!

Great for the money

I wouldn’t have ever driven the 40 minutes to play this course if it weren’t for this app and the awesome discount I got to play it. Saved me $40 minus the gas and time but was great! Got there a few minutes before our tee time in the beginning of the hotter portion of the day and they let us tee off a little early. Great experience

Gem

I've heard good things about this course from friends. Finally made the drive out and I was not disappointed. Teed off just before 1pm on a Friday and it was smooth sailing for our twosome. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Tee boxes and fairways were fantastic. Bunkers (unfortunately I got to see these up close) were great. I would say 15 out of the 18 greens are in great shape with the others needing a little extra care (seemed like heat and/or disease on parts of them). Great value. I will definitely be back.

Change of pace

I play here 6 or8 times a year. Only course in my area that is flat. I would play this course more often, if it were closer. New greens are a little hard, but getting better. Course is always in good condition.
