Back 9 makes it worth a look

After the front 9, I was disappointed in the course. It's a flat piece of property and the holes were fairly boring. But the back 9 design is far superior with multiple strong holes featuring strategically placed ponds, sharper doglegs and better bunker positioning. It's still not an overwhelming challenge, but the back 9 made the trip worthwhile.

Greens were mostly in good condition with decent speed (a couple of them were in poor condition). Tees were average, fairways good and rough thicker enough to cause problems.

Excellent value

We've played Applewood before but this time we found a great deal on GolfNow. Late in the day tee time, finished up around 8:00pm.

Had a great time, definitely an excellent value for the price, course was in surprisingly good condition and playing late in the day was way better than the mid-afternoon blazing heat.

All-in-all a great way to wrap up the weekend...

I play here every chance I get. It's 10 times better than that 'other' course that's nearby. The greens roll very smooth and quick, and are always in great shape.

Good course, greens are a little tough as there are bunkers in front of almost every green. Greens were just arriated so a little rough but other than that a fun course.

Greens need some TLC

Applewood' greens right now are bad. Don't plan on one holding a ball, cause it's not going to happen. Best to play below the pin or run the ball up... Forget about a true roll, because the greens are loaded with ball marks that haven't been sanded yet. You can tell their trying, but dang...! Other then that the fairways are open and green. The layout is fair and challenging. Applewood give those greens some love!

First place I have found that didn't double or triple rates because of Masters. Will play it again next year. Down to earth people, very friendly. Back nine very fun.. great holes with risk reward.

Decent Course

This is a great course for those who play a bit wild off the tee box. Most of the course is fairly open leaving a lot of room for error. The green were not particularly receptive to approach shots and were very difficult to read. The greens did not roll very true. The fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers were in fantastic shape, which made up for the greens. Overall, the average golfer would have a great time here. I didn't get a chance to check put the restaurant, but it smelled great.

Nice course great staff.

This was a very nice golf course. It was out in the country off the highway about 3-4 miles. The staff was very nice and made me feel at home. I would recommend this course to anyone who enjoy playing in a quiet place. Lot of nice people playing there also.

A nice round

This is a hidden gem. The course is fairly flat with nice greens very well maintained bunkers. The fairways are slightly narrow, making it challenging for those of us with less control. Our foursome had a great time and will be back again.

The Course is fairly flat and very open. We had a guy that asked to play with us and he knew the course very well and directed us as we approached every hole. Except for No 1, the pace was pretty good. It had some water hazards and plenty of bunkers. The greens were in decent shape for this time of year. The new hole paositions should be flattened when moving them and holes more clean cut. But besides that i will definately play this course again.
