Good course

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!

Great place to play during Masters

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.

Slow play

Every time we come here it is overbooked and they always have groups o 5 that will not let you play through. We went yesterday our t time was 1245 we did not get to start until 1:30 because they did not have any carts. I used to love this place but we do not come here anymore for these reasons. They never have marshalls and if they do they do not do anything when you call so why waste your time .

new greens

My first time playing here since they redone the greens.I like the changes they made overall.the greens were just about perfect just wish they were a little faster.Only downside was pace of play,we payed for 18,but only played 9.It was just taking too long,one hole had 3 ladies with 2 kids running around the green.from what I could tell they were the big holdup on the course.
