Course had “army worms” or the worms that eat root systems. However the grounds crew was doing everything possible to kill the pests. Outside of that couldn’t ask for more. Greens still pure as ever. Little slower than usual on pace for their greens but still nice.

Side window

I’m not sure I quite understand the “side window”……. When we checked in, the guy did not even offer to let us know if we needed any food items or pro shop items we could purchase them through “the window”…….. perhaps the window is due to Covid??? If so, I am having a hard time understanding why the staff member was not wearing a mask, why he stuck his head up to and almost through the window. If the side window was NOT because of COVID, it was a great inconvenience for those of us who needed balls and like to purchase souvenirs. I felt the customer service was lacking. No warning that the greens had just been punched/ aerated. We didn’t know where to return the the cart when we finished. .

Excellent course

Very well conditioned course with beautiful views of the lake. It’s kind of neat how you are seeing the lake on nearly every hole but you only go over a finger of the lake on one par three shot. Greens were fast and true.

Good wide fairway golf.

Don't go the HWY 35 route if you can help it. This course is just off HWY 72 and HWY 79. Just outside Scottsboro, Alabama.

Love playing here!

The course was in great shape. We had a threesome and we finished in 3 and a half hours. The greens were almost perfect. They just need a little more time to recover from latest maintenance.

Way to long for women....

Good solid $30 track......except for women way to long.....My wife hated it driver 3 wood and she can can't get home on par 4 and she hits it further then the average women......women should have an option at 4700 to 4900 to play from not 5300 or mens senior tee is on the same box.....old school......fairways were nice greens for this price not so much.....the shop had nothing but kids running it....hmmm not a great first impression....

Great Course! Course Marshall NEEDED!

A few things in rough shape but overall the course is looking great. I was the 4th group in line to tee on the 5th. They need to enforce pace of play.

Great!

This is a great open fairway course with great river views and a wide variability of hole types.
