"Tuck" this in your back pocket

The fairways were cut like they expect to host a Pro tournament. The greens were fast and furious lots of great pin placements. The course was in excellent shape, looking forward to getting in a few more rounds before winter sets in...Oops, I said the "W" word, shame on me...

Great value for the money

First time at this course and I would return again. Fairways and green played well even though it was a cart path only due to heavy rains over the last couple of days.

Not worth time or money

Waaay too much congestion and bs to begin with. LOTS of loud annoying bs at the outside grill in front of club house. Bad design bc greens and tee boxes are extrememely close. Average wait time to tee about 10 mins per hole. I've played hundreds of courses but won't play this dud again.

Best golf

I always enjoy playing this course, the staff is excellent. you have to be smart golfer to play there. the course will punish you if you don't smart. my favorite hole is 17, you have to play it to the left starting at the Tee.

Flying Blind

Course is fine, good deal for the money, etc. But I was very frustrated by the lack of yardage markers on the course. The only thing I saw anywhere were the 150 stakes, which are present on each hole. Also, there was nothing out there to indicate pin positions. The flags are all yellow, so that tells me nothing. And there were no mini-flags on the sticks to indicate front/middle/back. So basically I had no idea what club to use the entire day. Other than that, I had fun and the course was wide open so I was able to play 36 holes in 4:15 on a Tuesday. But unfortunately I would not come back to a course that appears to have no interest in giving me some idea where I am in relation to the hole.

great course and price nice time

$16 for a course that was in wonderful condition private club atmosphere couldn't ask for more. Would have been great if a beverage cart was around and the pro shop kid acted a bit more like he wanted to be there but was courteous. Great time with our for some.

Tuckaway Takeaways

Fun place to play some challenging golf. The back nine will definitely get you as it plays harder than the front. Small greens add to the challenge. Sand traps need attention to make them playable.

Nice,relaxing country course,

We were a little disappointed with the upkeep of the course. They don't appear to mower very regularly as there were many areas or "hay" piles is the roughs. The greens were in good condition and true. It was a hot day , but the beverage cart only stopped by us once. We could have used cold drinks at least 2 or 3 more times. The round was way to slow for that course, about 5 1/2 hours. We saw knowone there from the course trying to speed things up. Everything considered we had an enjoyable round and an hour in the real nice friendly clubhouse after our round.

great course for the price

I golfed Tuckaway shortly after the weather was decent enough to golf. There was plenty of rain throughout the week to make the course soggy but it was very solid. Greens were fast and tough to play but there are tons of challenges to make the course a lot of fun.

Great Course for a Great Price

This course is very challenging and lots of fun. You do not have to worry about a lot of water but the trees, slope rating and the speed of the green makes it very challenging and fun.

Great course for the money!

Course is a great value and beautiful layout. I paid 14.00 for 18 holes with a cart in less than 3 hours. After my round I went in to ask how much more for 9 more holes as there was still 2 hours if daylight left and the man behind the counter told me to go ahead for nothing. The last nine took under an hour! 27 holes for $14.00 with a cart! What a deal!

Teeny postage stamp greens

Course is fun to play. Wish I'd have had a gps or a range finder. They really are lax with yardage markers. They need a ranger. We (2some) played the first 6 holes in 40 mins, then came upon a 2some & 3some who were ridiculously slow, took an hour to play last 3 holes on the front. (There were 3 holes open in front of these two groups.) We ended up playing the front again for our second nine. That was disappointing!
