The course has very features

The pace of play was excellent until we made the turn and got behind what looked like a family of 4 and don’t think they had ever played before sometimes they would hit 2 or 3 balls before moving on

The course is the best I have seen in a long time

Unique Course, worth the drive from ATL

Lots of elevation changes and blind or near blind shots. Greens are in perfect condition. Fairways are showing the stress from lack of rain but still in good condition. Same for the Teeboxes. Couple of opportunities, random cart path only holes that you don’t know until your cart stops with a micro size pop up. It would be great to turn off the annoying advertisements on the GPS system and use the audible warning for the cart path only situations vs the advertisements. Next, carts should be allowed in The parking lot.

Great public course but needs to work on pace of play. No starter, no ranger equals slow play.

Good weather, Good course

Would rate 4.5 on some items. Greens great condition but fast. Even fringe around greens looks good. Fairways in good condition with good lies for your ball.

Probably best shape we’ve seen course overall. Carts w/ gps helpful. Look forward to going back.

Worth the drive!

The course was in great shape. Greens were fast and difficult to read at times. Secondary cut will swallow a ball and become hard to find.. or hit.

A very challenging layout. New carts with GPS and a friendly staff keep me coming back!

Great Course

Pro shop staff were great and course was in great shape. Fairways were plush and greens were fast and putted great. The only issue was the greens were hard and approach shots would hit and run off the green.
