Best value course in the area

This is easily one of my favorite courses, I’ve played in several states and pretty much every course in the area. This stands up to be one of the best courses especially considering the money for fees. Only complaint I have is the tee boxes needed a little work, but then again what course doesn’t have that issue. Absolutely love Acorns and will continue to visit for years to come.

Foot in Mouth

As my brother was walking in to check in, the manager referred to my brother and I as A-holes, not knowing my brother was in there. He said “we need to get these a-holes going,” as there was a larger group ready to tee off. Only complaint about the place

Great Links Golf

No complaints whatsoever. Everything is in perfect condition and this course is awesome links golf. Definitely not the toughest course but I think that fits most recreational golfers desires. Highly recommend giving this course a shot!

Greens and Fairways in Good Shape

Greens and fairways in good shape. Irrigation system leaks on some holes made for unexpected wet conditions.

Plush fairways and true greens

This course is amazing. It is challenging enough to test you, yet open enough to not penalize for an imperfect shot. Fairways were immaculate and the greens ran true. For the price, there isn’t a course around that can say that!

Beautiful Fairways and Greens

I arrived early for my 1:10 PM teatime, just as a two person scramble was finishing and went inside and the girl at the counter was working so hard taking care of everyone and wasted no time taking care of me and getting me cleared to play golf. After the scramble, there weren’t that many players out on the golf course, so I really didn’t have to worry about the pace of play. I found the fairways to be well-maintained and the greens were all in great shape. There was water on every four or five holes along with ball cleaners. The cart paths were also in good shape. Lots of trees but fairly wide fairways. Plenty of water and sand traps to get in trouble if your shot slices or hooks. The price is right and the staff was very courteous, so I will be referring this golf courseTo my fellow golfers. To the Acorns staff: thank you for a fun day!

Ladies tee boxes

Love the course. The biggest issue I have are the “Ladies Tee Boxes.”

Unfortunately they don’t seem to care about ladies playing golf at Acorns. I wish they would spend some time and level and re-sod the barren spots on the Red Tee blocks.
