Union Hills... Someone was still on their union break

I played on a Wednesday afternoon, in the upper 90's that day. Course needed to be watered but not while I'm putting on the green. Course attendant was running the hoses every hole in front of me, so every put was sloppy as can be.

I had to quit keeping score because I was sick of the missed putts due to the rain.

Great course. Challenging but playable. In good shape.

Great job guys. We really enjoyed our round. There are tight fairways and a few wide open driving holes. Dog legs to the left and right, and plenty of changes in elevation.

Best Course in Jefferson County

This course has made some serious improvements in recent years. It provides a good challenge, but there are some good opportunities to score as well.

Needs gold tees for seniors.

This course is just too long and difficult from the white tees for seniors. Need something between whites and reds. Maybe about 5,700 yds. Course and greens in great shape.

Tale of two nines

The front nine is a simple muny layout that is poorly marked. My gps ran out of power on hole two so I guessed my way around. Now the back nine is a treat .If the entire course was laid out like the back nine I would group it with Annbriar. Cart paths need work.Worth the drive

Nice course.

On two visits we found that the course offered us different challenges due to the rolling terrain. We will play there again.

Nice course for the money.

At an average price of $22 on golfnow.com this is a great little course. We got stuck in the middle of a shotgun tournament in the front 9, which was a bit obnoxious due to lack of golf etiquette from the group but from 10 on was smoothe sailing. The only real maintenance problem was the cart path, bumpy as all get out, I don't like spilling my beer!

Very good local semi-public golf course

I have been playing at this course for many years ,lately course is well maintained ,become more enjoyable course. First 9 holes are relatively easy to play, but back 9 holes are more difficult to play.Fee is inexpensive and valued to compared to other course. You may get deal by visiting to golfnow.com.If you play once you will come back again
