Great place to play

This is a very nice course, on par with many CC I have played. Greens, fairways and tee boxes are all well maintained. The bunkers were wet due to a rain but I avoided all but one.

It is a hilly course with many photo ops.

I will return!!!!

Great layout, challenging, but fair

Unfortunately when I played it had been extremely wet and pins were at the high point of the green, which were difficult to access. However, the course was very playable and a good layout with challenges on all par 3's, 4's and 5's whether short or long. There were at least 2 holes that you had to tee off through a narrow chute. It is very scenic and worth playing, especially for $30 on Golfnow and an 18 hole replay rate of $22. Make sure to pack extra balls as they are easy to lose on narrow fairways, blind shots and deep woods.

The only drawback was there was nothing to eat at the clubhouse as the restaurant was closed on Monday & Wednesday.

Tough couse but some beautiful holes

Always fun to play but this time although booking on golf now says free golf balls that isn't true. The range is closed due to someone steeling all their range balls . Was not compensated for that either. Not many playing that morning but the one's who were played very slow. NO RANGERS helping with pace of play. Waited on every hole way too long. Had many frustrated golfers and tensions were high but we finally finished. Had people trying to pass us but nowhere to go.

Unbelievable value. Pace of play was an issue. I was in a twosome. We caught up with a foursome on the third hole and was behind them through 18. They never waved us through, never even acknowledged we were behind them. Was not the courses fault. Probably staying at the hotel. Most of course was in good shape, bunkers were terrible. Will play there again, mainly because of the value.

Mountain gem

My son and I play there often. He takes lessons from the pro, Mike McCall - second to none as a teacher. The course is a great test of target golf. Makes you use the hole bag. Views are awesome and the greens are perfect. Go and enjoy a great round!

Beautiful Course

We live in Florida and make a yearly trip to N Georgia to play golf, this was our favorite course this year. The views and wild life was fantastic, the layout of course was great. Loved the par three that was very elevated, will be back next year to play again.

I love this course

I have been playing this course since the late 80's. I love this course and the challenges it presents to this flat lander from Florida. I have raised all three of my son's playing this course and we play it at least twice every year. Thank you for all the fun and memories. I hope there are many more to come. Ken Starling

Mountain views

Greens were excellent. Fairways are narrow with a lot of elevation changes. Mountain views on most holes . Two black bears walked by us on 12th tee box.

Good Day to be on the Course

The staff was very helpful and the course was in great shape. The elevation changes are an adequate defense and test of the course. I will be back

Beauty and rough

This course is both an interesting beauty and an up and down ski slope. Good shape, great setting, very nice greens, but the lay of the land leaves a bit to be desired on more than,a couple holes. On some,holes my partner and I would stand on the tee box and say "really?". Very narrow slice of fairway with huge up and down. Also in addition to being narrow fairways, a ball hit just several yards off the fairway can hang on a 45 degree slope,due to heavy and clumpy ground cover. So, if you want to enjoy a day in the mountains AND be golfing at the same time you can enjoy your day. Just don't expect to play to your handicap on a consistent basis.Staff was extremely friendly, and helpful in working around the member outing.

Course has fallen into disrepair

The cart paths are full of jarring potholes, but hey you have a smart cart. The bunkers are all poorly groomed. Half of the fairway on many of the holes is rocky red clay. The only good thing about this course was the quality of the greens. Would not play again.

Always great course

My wife and I play this course on a regular basis and always find it to be a delight. We had not been in a few weeks since they had made the improvements to the cart paths. A welcome surprise to find the paths repaired, and the layout and routing of the paths much improved. The greens were about 10 days into their aeration and although a few holes were showing, they rolled true. A great course to play and the layout a delight. A good challenge needing precise shots, with little margin for error. Bring your A game; but the more you play, the better you score. The staff are always friendly, and the scenery spectacular.
