Loudon Country Club

Challenging yet my favorite part is there are not a lot of sand traps! The view from some of the holes is breathtaking especially during fall foliage. Love playing here!

Greens are in great shape and pace of play is good (and folks let you play through if they’re playing a bit slower). Bunkers and cart paths could use some serious TLC but everything else is well kept.

Small, hard greens, very difficult to keep the ball on the greens. Rough was very deep at lest 4 inches on most of the course - hard to find balls, nearly impossible to hit out of, particularly around the greens. I will not play this course again

No bump and runs at Loudon. Played three rounds in four days, course is in excellent condition. Couple bread loaf tee boxes but fairways, rough and greens are perfect. The greens, very small and firm, very few ball marks and your wedge is the only way on, like turtle shells. Cups seemed crowned too, lots of 3 putts. As difficult as they come, narrow fairways except the par 5’s, grip and rip. Bring the A game.

The grass off the fairway was very long and almost unplayable. Had to punch into the fairway to have a chance. Course staff was very friendly but the course needs some work. Cut the grass!! Especially because it is so wet.

Made the turn the first time I played here years ago and much to my surprise to the left of the 10th green I saw the burial plot of several people, long dead. It was an interesting touch to a good place to play. Lots of ups and downs on this one. Keep the ball in the fairways. The greens have subtle turns as the ball gets to the hole. Great place to play.

Loudon features mostly crowned greens, which makes the course a bit tougher than it seems from the tee, especially if you don't often play on greens that fall off from the center. You'll need to be sharp with your chips and pitches and leave yourself with short-iron approaches.

Holes are roomy with plenty of rough along the wide fairways, though the back nine has dense tree lines on most holes. Lots of tree lines marked as lateral hazards on the back.

A few holes feature water carries, including one short par-4 with a pond in front.

Very quick 3-hour pace on a nice Tuesday morning with only a few groups out on the course. Staff was friendly, and the post-round drink in the restaurant went down smooth. Would play again.

Greens are fairly undersized and all are crowned which makes most approaches very similar. Very difficult to have most iron shots hold the greens. Otherwise the condition of the course is very well kept and the round was good.

Course was a pleasure to play. Well maintained, and fairly challenging. Being the first time there never really knowing where the water and mash ares actually came into play made some of the surprises a challenge. The rough was deep enough that you really had to keep your eye on where your ball headed. Early on our group took on the " just drop another and keep playing" mantra,. Overall a great course, we will definitely be back.
