Hole 18 Photo submitted by DavidLaDuke on 06/23/2015
Not well maintained
Crabgrass in the fairways. Fairways torn up by Racoons. No grass in the rough close to greens. Tree lines not maintained for at least 3 years encroaching on the fairways and rough. Greens were not in very good condition. Lots of unfilled ball marks. Staff outside were not pleasant as they were in the past!!
Challenging but fun.
Great course, fun layout and in great condition. The staff was beyond friendly, pace of play was good considering we were a 2 some on a Sunday morning. My only disappointment was all the unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Shame on the people who play there regularly and are to lazy to fix a ball mark and help keep such a great course pristine. The greens rolled nice. They were quick and true but not overly fast. Look forward to playing there again soon
Loved It
First time to the area for us… took my soon to be college girl out. Loved the course, the staff, the woodsy path rides and the amazing homemade breakfast burrito at the turn! Great spot, little pricey but worth it.
Got deal special
Golfed here 15+years ago Front 9 so overgrown
Forced carries so overgrown vertically almost as if tee boxes should be 5 ft higher so you can see the hole. Greens and fairways good. Bunkers poor No one fixing ball marks. Driving range is worn and weathered Not worth 125$
Came back
Stay near course several years ago and play it. Came back with family for long weekend and decided to play again. Didn’t remember much about the course. Enjoyed the round and course. Thanks
Challenging course, friendly staff.
When we arrived, the course had NOT RECEIVED our tee time reservation via Golf Now booking.
Fortunately, it was midweek and a couple times were still available.
Very well manicured course and challenging.
Play at least once a year
Roughs are extremely long. It makes higher handicap players even hrder to make good contact so if you hit in the rough it will cost you at least one to two strokes per hole. Will only play if the group wants to play there.
Difficult
Course has unfairly tight fareways on 4 holes. The rough was so long that it was painful to hit some shots out of the rough. The greens were in good condition.
Disappointing
This course used to be nice and well taken care of. Was a bit pricey but overall was worth it. Now they charge even more and the course is in despicable shape. I would pay more than $35 for this. It’s sad to see the fall from grace and will be bought out for Pennie’s on the dollar by four winds eventually
You deserved 5 Big-Star .
So big wonderfully designed with natural woods,wetlands ,bunkers , 5 tee grounds and nicely manicured clean green( not damaged). Everything was just perfect Our team enjoyed very much for this time,because beautiful fall colors. NICE feeling on your staffs too. Definitely you belong to 5 stars !!!
SWTC
Very nice layout with friendly staff. Conditions did not match what they normally charge. Greens ran at a good speed and were smooth. The only reason I would not recommend this course to the average player is because the front nine will beat you up! If you miss a fairway you probably will lose the ball penalty for a bad shot is just to severe to make it enjoyable.
Course in bad shape
I played this course for the second time first was about 5 years ago. Layout still good and tough but was course conditions were disappointing. Several fairways had large significant brown areas enough so that I called the pro shop when we got to the 3rd hole. I was told that the conditions were caused by excessive rain. My first thought was that management was aware of the conditions but still charged the full rate of $105. I left a message for the manage and not surprisingly have not had the courtesy of a response. No mention of the poor condition of the driving range and chipping area. I live in Memphis and even through almost a month of no rain and 100 plus degree heat and humidity courses maintained fairways that still had grass and were in good condition at a third to half of this courses rate.
Challenging course.
Nice course. Having some issues with grass in the fairways. Other than that enjoyed the course.
