Call ahead for clear instructions!

Thought it was a great value and reserved a time online. Drove over an hour and course looked deserted. No one was around. Carts were lined up outside so we just got in and started to play. Were not going to abandon the trip because clubhouse attendant was at lunch, or so we thought since it was a long drive. After 2 holes a guy comes up and says we need to go to another course 5 miles away. But this same guy was in a cart playing golf by himself! No way we would have figured that out with no one answering phone at clubhouse. Figured out to go to different course and clubhouse attendant said we were lucky they didnt call police on us at 1st course. Customer service was of the lecture type telling us "you should have known!" Lol, i live on a resort golf course in Kentucky and people pay after all the time if attendants are not around or if you play from your house. You can go, but i will have to make sure i have a white guy in my group to go back again!

Good course.

The course is in good shape overall.

Only complaints I have is that the greens are cut too short and dry. It's hard to play any shots close to the green because they would either roll out super fast or now roll out at all.

Second, the fringe was wayyy too thick. Needs some trimming. Almost impossible to chip out of it because it was so thick

Everything else was great. Tee boxes in great shape and fairways in great condition. Fix up the greens and fringe and I will be there every weekend.

Good layout

Course was in very good shape. Greens had been recently aerated which is the only knock on the day, but that’s normal maintenance. Overall a great layout and long enough for the young guys! Had a great time!

The course was in great shape. Greens were fantastic. Could tell the fairway needed some rain. It is August in Alabama.

Excellent golf outing

The course played very well! The fairways were well manicured and the greens rolled well! I live an hour away but it’s always a treat to drive here for a golf outing!
