Only nine holes open

We were not told when we made the tee time that there would only be nine holes open. Apparently they're chopping trees down on the other nine and we had to play the same nine twice. The course is in sad shape, bad greens, and horrible tee boxes they are trying to work on it but it looks like it's going to be a long process.

Saturated, no leveled fairways, and greens are in terrible shape. Hard to believe it is the home course for Emory, a world class university.

Worst management

Very unfriendly Management and very expensive Service fee on quick bite and drinks at club house. Course layout is good but the condition can be better. I wont probably come back not because of the course but because of the service by management and expensive service fee at restaurant.

Good Layout

I really like this course and the layout. The green are in fair shape. A few challenging holes. They are working on the course and the cart path. The course needs some upgrades to its tee boxes and grass freeways on some holes. Overall I would play this course again. It was wroth the hot deal.

Going in the right direction

1.) the greens are not as bad as everyone is saying

2.) the tee boxes are as bad as everyone is saying

3.) the course layout and scenery is top of the line and a very enjoyable experience

4.) value for the money is great it’s not expensive to play right now, due to some of the course condition issues

Challenging course/ great layout.

Cart path is unstable with missing blocks just go around/ enjoyed it will be back

Course is in awful condition. The greens are very bumpy, covered in sand and burned out. Fairways were burned out and was like hitting off dirt. Carts stopped working almost every hole.

Hit’em Straight

If you don’t hit the ball straight you will donate many balls. Very tough course to play for a beginner, a lot of hills, greens weren’t in the best condition, fairways very hard due to lack of watering.
