This course, though relatively short in length, has a tight layout with interesting holes.

The holes are mostly short in length, but the trees and water hazards make them interesting and challenging at times. Provides several doglegs to either play safe or go for it. Enjoyed the round quite a bit. Great value and course in very good shape.

Great value for this course

Although the course is a little shorter for the average, it's a great place to practice your short game. Conditions were great and course was in a park-like setting.

Will definitely play here again.

This is a muni, but a well kept one. The day that we played was very windy which increased the difficulty. Definitely want to stay in the fairways. The greens had recently been aerated and were not as clean as I would have liked. Great value for the money.

Solid for a public course

The course was solid for a public course. Quite short and nothing too intricate but course was pretty well maintained and pace of play was great. Was able to get out about half an hour before our tee time and finished the round in just under 4 hours. Lots of bugs though so make sure to bring bug spray!

Not a bad little Muni.

I was looking for a cheap 18 to play after a couple of days in AC. Found Green Tree and with GolfNow's great deal, paid just over $40 for green fees for 2, cart and a couple of buckets for the range.

After hitting the range, waited about 15-20 minutes to tee off. It was my wife's first time out so we were a little slower than most, but she gave up at 11 and ended up breezing through in about 4 hours.

It was definitely an interesting layout with short par 4's with lots of doglegs. Fairways weren't too bad and greens were in good shape....just watch out for all the goose droppings!

All in all, it's an excellent value if you're in the area (about 1/2 an hour from AC).

Upgraded version of Blue Collar golf. You don't have to be an executive to play here.

Everyday golf for everyday men/woman and kids. The course is maintained and its not a bombers course however a few holes that hit into the wind are long. 3, 9, 18.

Great Value, No Frills Course

Based on the price I wasn't expecting much, but the course itself was very well maintained in all areas (the limited amount of driving you can do on the actual fairways helps, I'm sure). A short course that makes up for its lack of length with challenging greens that all seem very hilly. It felt like every green was designed to run balls away from the hole (sometimes off the green entirely) so you're better off aiming for spots on the green instead of directly at the flag stick. Some par 4s are very drivable for longer hitters.

Despite a nearly 5 hour round, didn't see a ranger all day and didn't even have a starter around for the 1st tee, so if you're looking for a quick round or are unfamiliar with the course this might not be the place for you when busy.

Greens were in great shape and rolled nicely

Other than the greens this course was average at best. For the money however well worth playing. Some challenging holes with water on plenty of them. more of a shotmakers type of course just not in great condition on tees and fairways.
