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.

Cheap, still not worth it

This course is very cheap and it shows on the course. Fairways are ok, but greens are way too small. Even when you hit the greens they were so hard that you couldn't stick any of them. If you're looking for a cheap easy round go here, but if you would like a realistic challenge I would suggest going elsewhere.

Can't beat the price

Very small greens that almost all of them are elevated and crowned. Very difficult to hold the greens with approach shots.
Course requires attention, fairways are in rough shape, not up to the standards of the courses I usually play.
With that said, cant beat the price, we paid $23 golf, cart and meal(hot Dog)

Challenging

This course has some challenging holes, especially the 4th hole. The greens are rather small, but are in good shape. Good value for your money.

This course is a little more challenging then your typical community course

Tuckaway is a well maintained, beautiful course that offers different challenges. The greens are mostly smaller than other courses in the area and there are some nasty dog legs that can be troublesome. There's not a whole lot of water and most of the fairways are pretty wide open. Overall I really enjoy playing this course especially when you can get a good discount around $20 a person.

Used to be a nice course.

I don't believe this course has seen a drop of water except for the rain this year ( and that is not much ) Fairrways and greens alike were so dry you couldn't enjoy your game.

Will definitely play here again

I have played here before. However, they have maintained well since. And the staff was some of the most friendly I have every been around. Especially the cart girt and bartender! Will be back this Sunday!

Slow play, no ranger, cart girl looks off, bar service slow

Disappointing day. The course seemed over crowded with people everywhere. Balls were hit into us as well as the people behind us. After the first decline, the cart girl never looked at us again. There was no ranger, or, at least no sign of a ranger doing anything to speed play up. It appeared that management allowed the course to be overbooked, trying to ack golfers in. I won't play here on a weekend again. I left wondering how many minutes were put etween each group.
