Great as always

From the time you arrive till you drive out the gate it’s like going to see an ole friend. The golf course was great as always. The staff goes above and beyond all expectations to ensure the best possible experience. I will go back again and again.

Great course. Will come back

Unfortunately we were unaware that the greens were aerated which put a damper on the experience. Probably would’ve rated conditions as 5 star otherwise. Do think that there needs to be a notification of the greens being aerated, probably would not have booked the round until they were healed.

Was not able to locate any note on website, but maybe I missed it. Still a great time and hope to bring more people back for another round or weekend.

Great views

A little pricey for having to play cart path only and most traps weren't raked and we teed off after 12pm. For the money. We'll played elsewhere.

Overall experience worth the drive

If you have never been to Pursell Farms to play FarmLinks, you need to schedule your trip now. Great layout, good food and lodging options and even sporting clays and upland bird hunting make this a fantastic destination.

Beautiful grounds with an amazing staff! Passing through the area and had a chance to play here. Greens were punched somewhat recently, but rolled well, winter conditions very good, bunkers amazing. Chilled apples at the starter and the views from the 5th Hole - worth the price of admission. With a HotDeal it was a great value, even with winter conditions. Would love to come back in the fall when the leaves are turning.

Great course per usual but conditions were off

It had rained the day before so it was a bit wet and the course drains well so that wasn't really an issue, but it was the small things. They didn't over seed any tee boxes or fairways so they looked dead since it is winter. This place usually does everything over the top so that was a surprise. Also, the greens had been punched recently which seems really late for it being winter already, so they weren't rolling that great since the grass isn't growing that much right now. Like I said, it was smaller things, but it's stuff you would never expect from a place like this.
