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.

Considering the miserable heat, the greens were top notch. Fairways soft, and tee boxes alive and green. Great time overall. Beautiful shape

Solid Round

Great staff and solid conditions given that there has been no rain in weeks. Many greens were so hard you couldn’t hold them. Front nine is more enjoyable than the back from a setup standpoint.
