Bunkers under Repair

Bunkers have been the only maintenance issue otherwise a great and challenging course with some awesome views. They are slowly redoing the Bunkers and have them marked under repair as their funding permits them to do so. Well worth the money. Even though it is a fairly long drive, 2 hrs, we try to play at least 4 times during the summer.

This course was in great shape.

The course was in great shape. The greens were amazing, but the only fault that I would have is the bunkers. They needed quite a bit of attention, but they are definitely no worse than many of the other courses I have played recently.

Great course, bad bunkers!!

We just came off a long weekend golf trip there at Dale Hollow golf course. The fairways are excellent, the greens are above average, the bunkers are bad!!! Overall had a great weekend off golf, but we took advantage of golfnow rates which made the price average for course conditions. The course is worth the drive, just stay out of the bunkers.

Another fantastic round at Dale Hollow

I love this place; it has natural beauty galore and a challenging layout. Yesterday was no different. The fairways were awesome and the greens were fast but not slick or hard and putted true. Yes, the rough was juicy and tough but it combined to be a good test and wonderful round.
I'm so glad that they are now on GolfNow.
