It was a great experience.
The only negative I saw was some of the bunkers had gravel & some better sand was needed in others. I suppose that was what the objective was, to improve bunkers so all was good.
Wet day
Enjoyed my round at General Burnside. Course was wet from morning rain that even held up start of my round. Greens were still rolling true and quick. Fairways had a few wet spots, but not a problem. Staff was very helpful to allow me to get started early. Truly a great golfing experience. well worth the two hour drive. I highly recommend playing this course
Great fairways and greens
Course in great condition just as it always is. My favorite course in this area.
Beautiful Course
I golf purely for fun. I enjoyed the course and even on a slow day, the guy up front was happy to see us. I've certainly played more difficult courses but If you're in the area on vacation, I'd recommend the course.
Greens were in great shape and the fairways were nice. Some of the sand bunkers are filled with a coarse stone so that was a bummer if you ended up there.
As a local, I plan to spend more time here.
I would love to see a better food and drink option when COVID gets more managed.
Great course
As always the course was in excellent condition. Another enjoyable round.
