Wait time for a cart wa over an hour from Ted time booked, course would not give me a rain check since I booked on Golf Now. Cannot cancel on Golf Now, and edit time to call into Golf Now is over 3 hours on their recording. I will lot go bank to that course and I will not use Golf Now any longer.

Hidden gem, diamond in the rough.

I've played the plantation course 3 times in about 30 days. The greens , the greens, The Greens. All that can be done to improve them is for all the lazy players to FIX YOUR BALL MARKS, I know you can get excited actually hitting the green , but please FIX YOUR BALL MARKS!. Due to the wet weather not slot of fairway/ rough maintenance can be done. Some muddy areas . Lift ,clean, place in the fairway is the way to play/keep Pace , enjoy. If you're in the rough, Well practice more! Lol. If you want to increase speed of play, more yardage marker please. I have a Bushnell but a clear plackerd mark or # on sprinkler heads would be awesome. Playing again today, God and weather permitting.

Ole Plantation

The greens are in the best shape I ever seen a green. True roll and ever green was the same speed. The only set back was the fairways were not in good shape. The course doesnt drain properly in some areas, and it was very muddy in some places. Great fun track not that difficult.

Course is in decent shape. Hot deals rate is decent. Rake rate for this course is absolutely ridiculous. Scottsboro should be ashamed. However, through hot deals rate and Golf Pass perks, my round was FREE.

One of the Best Courses in Northern Alabama

Had a great day to play and the course was in great condition except for the traps. Happily I only ended up in 3 or 4 traps but they mostly have little of no sand. Other than that the course is a fair test of golf from the white tees that I always play. Were it not for the traps I would have given the course conditions 5 stars and when I played this course earlier this year the traps were excellent so this review is ONLY for this recent visit. I also didn't interact with staff on this visit so I'm giving it a good rating based on this and previous visits. I also paid nothing for the round because I used a Golf Pass+ free round couponI had earned but if Golf Now stopped working with this course like they have with another course in my area that is one of my favorites I would pay their regular rates to play this course. BTW, the other course I just referenced is going to offer its own Golf Now like discounts in the future and I will definitely play that courses rates to play too.

Awesome course. Views everywhere

This course was amazing. It has a nice layout. One of the best courses I’ve played. The lake is all around this course. Nearly every hole has a great view of the lake. Never thought I’d be playing golf and halfway wishing I was fishing. I will definitely be going back.

Fun, well kept, great value

I love coming out to Scottsboro to play this course. It is affordable, very well kept, and is just an all-around fun layout. There is a good mix of difficult and more-forgiving holes. Greens were soft, but rolling like glass. I always recommend a day out there!
