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!

Great Potential Unrealized

This course could be great. Really great. Unfortunately, the upkeep is poor. During a morning round after a severe wind the night before, they did not even blow the greens to remove a layer of dirty pine needles. Greens were unplayable on 4 holes, and frustrating on the rest. Lack of water on the fairways, balls ran through regularly.

However, if you like teacup, postage stamp greens this is the place. Requires position and thinking on every approach.

Slow Play!!!

They let two groups play with 5 golfers, who would not let the twosome in front of my twosome play through. Multiple complaints to the management and their response was " Oh they're regulars". Plus the course was hard as a rock. Definitely not worth it.

Great price on golfnow.

Course is a little dry so expect a lot of roll. Club down because it is short (6000? from whites) and tight. beware of #17; one of the toughest holes I've played all year.

Clubhouse bartender is a 10.
