Surprised

It's been awhile since I played this course and I was SURPISED and not happy with the majority of the surfaces. Especially with the amount of rain and cool days we've experienced this year.

Lots or weeds and mud holes.

Riverside is in better condition than Coffin. The positive....much cheaper to book tee time through Golf Now. Still not worth the money.

great course

The bunkers were packed solid like concrete and some of the greens were a little torn up. Other than that it's a great course, one of my favorites in town.

good course for the money

Greens are large and very fun to play with lots of undulation. Couple fairways were not great because of recent rain. Rough was reall tough. Bunkers need lots of work, more dirt than sand, lots of rocks

Interesting Course Design, Terrible Course Conditions

This course always floods. This means the grass seed that is put down never takes and the weed preventative that is used washes away. Because of this your lie in the fairway may not be any better than you lie in the rough. You would like to think that you'll be rewarded for good shots but at Coffin this is not always the case. Setting aside the issue of the course conditions the course has an interesting layout and at times is challenging. Several holes where it is better to keep the driver in the bag and select a long iron that may be more accurate off of the tee. The course is convenient and so if there's a good price and you're pressed for time it's worth looking at but for a good weekend round look elsewhere with better conditions.

The layout is nice

They course isn't maintained good. You can barely tell the difference from the fairway and rough. The traps were in terrible shape. i like the track, but the course needs to be maintained better

Mother's Day round

Only played 9 good pace some spots could have been better taken care of but overall good round. Played the front and if you keep your ball in the fairway like any course you'll be alright.

This course has a nice layout, but the condition of the fairways, and the rough was terrible. Lots and lots of dead grass all over the place.

Decent course.

I have played here lots of time. There needs to be a marshall to monitor pace of play. We were a twosome and had to wait on this group of 4 all 18 holes. Never once did they offer to let us play thru.

1st round always good

After a LONG winter it was nice to get out for the 1st round play in early March. The staff was (and is) very friendly and with $1.00 dogs and fountain drinks it was a good day!

Enjoyable course, but some work required

This course is a lot of fun, especially the par 5 5th. The back 9 as a whole was more enjoyable than the front, but not in as good of shape. The course is right on the river, and at this time of year, the river is high and spilled onto the course in several places. The 11th is in very bad shape, and the 15th has a new creek that is unmarked. I'll definitely be back to the course, and expect it to have dried up and earn a 5-star rating!

A cold day in the sun.

Coffin was in good shape considering all the rain recently and also due to all the leaves that have fallen so far this year. The course is diverse and the greens are challenging. It was an enjoyable day even though it was cold as the sun was out all day. The last two holes are the hardest as they seem to have the fairway against a river levee with a lot of trees on the other side. It is well worth it to play this course.

A fine time!

The fairways have recovered from a very dry several weeks and the greens are very nice excepting a few small patches on several greens---nothing unusual for this time of year. Unlike many courses, drinking water and ball washers are still deployed.

Enjoyed playing the course and its tight fairways on several holes on the back nine.

I am a weekend warrior and generally play consistant, when I play. The course was in good shape and had a great layout with several challenging holes. I particularly enjoyed playing the back side where the difficulty seemed to increase and demand more accuracy. Greens were in pretty good shape for being later in the season.

Coffin requires driver accuracy

Coffin fairways, 13 of 18, are either lined with trees, out of bounds or water hazards thus making the drive the most important shot on just about every hole. If you are a free swinger who grips it and rips it better take a few extra sleeves of golf balls.

The course has made a great recovery from the late summer dry spell and holes 15 & 16 fairways are almost healed from the ditch construction related to the Marion College construction. The greens put true and are typically cut at moderate speed. The biggest maintenance issue are the sand traps in the lower holes that get washed out when the course floods.
