You get what you pay for!

Course is in need of maintenance. It's a timeshares course therefore anyone can play. There was no dress code enforcement. On the good side, playing after noon allowed us to play at our own pace.

Course in good shape

Fairway in good winter shape, greens coming along. A word of caution...watch out for the goose droppings. (Will need less fertilizer)

well designed for all golfers,but needs maintenance

I like the course layout. For a first time player, there are very few surprises that you don't see from your hitting area. If the maintenance of this course were better, I would love to play it often. Good practice area, but could also use some manicuring.

Horrible Course!

The course was awful! I now see why it is so cheap to play! First, I called about the aerating listed on GolfNow to double check, and the woman at the pro shop said it was done aerating. That was not the case. While there was no sand on the greens, there were still holes, crab grass, and dead spots all over the greens. They keep the practice green in perfect shape but the course greens are awful. Secondly, the fairways were in terrible shape! There was crabgrass on every single hole, and not just in small spots, I'm to assume on some holes it could have covered half the fairway! Hole one, if you hit an iron off the tee, your ball will not find a clean area off the fairway. You have to hit at least 250 out to find any considerably reasonable fairway grass! Third, they had construction crews on the course during play but failed to mention it. These guys were cutting down trees and making non stop noise! On hole 6, two guys were trimming near yhe green with weed eaters. and while walking up to the green, one gentleman started cussing and screaming as I am hitting my ball because of something that happened. it was very unproffesional. On hole 13, the construction took over the right side of the fairway closest to the green. Lastly, the staff is not friendly, the older woman that is in the shop does not have a smile on her face and seems smug and short when dealing with customers. I have seen this on more than one occasion. At least try and fake that you enjoy your job please! Also, the cart paths are in awful shape, it feels like a roller coaster ride! I would not recommend this course to anyone. Even for the cheap price, it is not worth your time!

A little biy of work could make this course GREAT!

Fairways require some attention due to crab grass, but greens were good. Overall facility is very nice and staff friendly.

Very good conditions both greens and fairways.

A very nice course, challenging layout,water hazards on the par threes made it a tricky tee shot into the green.I have only one criticism of the course,the distance markers were off and hard to locate disks in the ground. I only bring this up because when its your first time playing the course you need to know! The course is well worth playing.

It is a nice layout, user friendly.

This course could be so much better if they would find proper mower or hire someone who knows how to mow the fairways, because on numerous occasions I hit the ball right down the middle only to find it in a clump of grass(crabgrass) that had not been mowed! Another observation is that the greens were rock hard, so when I hit a good shot into the green it bounced off the green. I have one last suggestion, on Sunday rounds if you want to speed up the pace of play, put the pins in the middle of the green, to often behind sand bunkers, most amateurs can not play from the sand, so it increases the time of the round.

Where's the divot?

Probably the hardest greens I've ever played on and I'm not talking skill, I'm talking feel.... We took multiple approach shots from 100 to 150 yard shots and there were no ball markings whatsoever, which means that when the ball lands it doesn't stop, it just keeps on going, right off the back of the green. The fairways were in ok shape and the layout of the course was fun but with the way the greens are, your scoring chances are slim.

Older style course. Gigantic greens. Wide open fairways.

Played in a twosome and having just moved out this way probably wouldn't make the 30 minute drive to play again. Staff was friendly. Course fairways were lacking grass in a few places. Greens were tremendously slow. Do not plan on letting the ball fall to the hole. You will have to hit it into the hole. After the round found out that they replaced their greens about 1 1/2 years ago and unfortunately lost them due to improper maintenance. new greens crew is in pace to allow them to grow back in. This is most likley the main reason for the slow greens. Would put it on par with West Pines in Douglasville. Fun track but not to challenging or intriguing to play again. Seems to be alot of retirees that play the course since it is located in a "resort" type community. It was a great bargain at 12.00 but probably wouldn' tpay over 25.00 to play here during the week.

Not a bad price, but don't expect a good score.

The course wasn't kept up very well. I wan in a bunker that my feet sunk in, but my club didn't when I took the shot..... my ball was in the center of the bunker and when I hit, I learned that there was only about a half inch of sand on top of hard red clay. Obviously that makes for an impossible bunker shot.
Also....the greens were some of the worst I have ever seen. They were aerated so badly that the ball would bounce all over the place. Putts looked like you were playing "Plinko"

Easy course great for beginners and older golfers. Short track thats fun for all levels of golfer.

Easy course for the average golfer. Short but challenging for all levels and is a good value for average fee. Greens need a little bit of growing in on a few spots but playable.

Course is OK.

Had a problem with EXTREME slow play. Took my 5 and 10 yr old to play 1-21-13. We had to wait on multiple holes to play and was even allowed to play through. Now, that's with my 5 yr old playing his 1st ever round of golf and he hit from the red tees and had to wait on grown men to play. VERY SAD. Called the Club House and got no response to help with the slow play. Wont go back.
