Nice beautiful course

This course is just beautiful compared to most courses I've played so far this year this course was in great shape since the bad winter we had, fairways seem to be coming around. The layout is demanding with a majority of doglegs..the pace of play was great with no one in front of us to hold up play and no one behind us pushing us, we were able to take our time and play at our pace....will definitely be back again

Bang for the buck

The course is in good shape considering the cold spring . A few fairways got burnt but overall in better shape than other courses in the area. Greens were in good shape and I'm sure they will be faster as weather gets more consistent . Challenging for all levels .

Cold weather has the fairways thin

Greens were in good shape although on the slow side. Bermuda fairways were thin and still dormant due to a a cool winter. Will probably be 30 days before fully grown in.

Too early to play (Bermuda fairways)

With continued hot weather and some rain the fairways should be playable. Course was well maintained. Cart EXIT markers could in many cases could be closer to the green, considerable walking required. Very friendly staff.

Cow Pasture Golf Course.

The course is not in good playing condition. The fairways are still dormant and covered with clover. The rough is a mixture of weeds, dandelions, sunflowers, and clover. The majority of the tee boxes are half grass like material and half dirt. The greens are bumpy, shaggy, half grass half fungus. I would steer clear of this course and spend your $42 some where else.

Beautiful Track!!

This course in in great shape with very friendly staff. They gave us a yardage book since some of our foursome hadont played there. It is not a long course (6500 from the tips) but a very fun one to play and has some pretty challenging holes. Very possibly to score if you place the ball correctly. Green rolled very true!

Greens shaggy

Course was in pretty good shape, but greens were way too long. Almost impossible to get long putts to the hole. Worth the golfnow deal price, but not the course's regular price.

great course. 2nd best in area

great day of golf. I had forgotten how short the new back 9. Is though. Should have played the back tees, not the middle. Absolute monsoon the night before and the course was in great shape.

Great state park course

Front nine tree lined and slow. Back nine reminiscent of Dale Hollow's course. Beautiful! Deer, squirrels and great scenery.

rolling hills but not extreme

I found the course in great shape, as I had played it before. There are a few challenging holes but overall very enjoyable to play.
