Great track!

The place is way out there it feels like but once you’re there it’s really good. Course was long, fast and firm. Plenty of challenging looks. They need more crew guys, it’s certainly more course and amenities than they can keep up with currently so don’t expect pristine but the bones are there. Last significant rain was almost a week ago and they haven’t tended to the washout or pudding in the bunkers, at least not all of them. The grass is fine, tees and all that looked good. A few more weeks of hot weather and it’ll be as good as any. For 25$ riding, gps cart, it was a steal. I’ll get back there soon.

Could be a great course

Excellent layout with great sight lines and beautiful pine tree lined holes. Challenging but fair. Neighborhood houses were tucked back and not crowding the course. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in good condition however, the bunkers were in Terrible shape.

They were all washed out, full of water, and a few were overgrown with grass. The greens were smooth and the putts rolled very true. My guess would be 9 or 10 on the stimpmeter.

Carts had touch-screen gps which made club selection and pace-of-play much easier. The facilities were decent but showing signs of aging. For example: the cart paths were bumpy and uneven in some places and the shower was unusable. You could tell this was once a top tier course.

Overall it was a good experience. Great value for the money. We paid $43. For that price, I would definitely return and recommend it.

Bad fairways, even worse pin placement

Course is set up for failure. Doesn’t reward good drives, terrible pin placement and bad fairways

Clear option

Not having much experience with Davis Love, III fashioned courses the Green complexes were a nice feature. Framing the target, but not allowing clear site on some pin locations give the mystery of how well you hit your spot until you come closer to the green.

Fairway bunkering made for an easy driving round.

The grass is not grown into its mid summer form, but enough to get some good lies.

Will be better later in the spring

I enjoyed AC with it's nice variety of holes and undulating greens. The tee boxes definitely need water and spring growth. In fact, many of the boxes where the white tees would normally be weren't being used because they were primarily sand. There were some bare and sandy spots in the fairways in some places which made a few shots difficult, and the greens had a few places that needed a little love. The course was hard and fast, so you can get a lot of roll on the ball in the fairways and through the greens. The course staff was wonderful, the carts are very high-quality electric models, and the clubhouse and bar/grill are great. My one wish is that the putting green had at least one somewhat flat area. It's a rollercoaster the entire way, which makes it hard to judge the true green speeds.

Fun and a bit tricky

In the area and decided on a last minute outing. While it is dormant season in the area the course was in pretty decent shape, and for $30 you can't go wrong. Holes are interesting, lots of undulations, and very scenic. Would recommend any time.

Nice variety of hole designs

Disappointed in that every tee box was more sand than grass. Greens had a nice speed but were VERY firm. Their design was a little over the top for my taste with a spine in the middle of several so you don’t want to be on the wrong side. Staff and food was great as we had a nice Easter lunch after the round.

Unfortunately, a disappointing experience

I had been looking forward to playing this course for some time but it’s a long way from home. Finally booked a round and was pretty disappointed. Course must have been overbooked. The first three holes took over an hour to play. On the fourth hole, we encountered the ranger who told us the course was totally full. The next hole, the group ahead offered to let us play through. There was nobody ahead of them. We didn’t catch the group ahead until the turn. Tee boxes were more sand than grass. Fairways were good as were the greens, off the fairway was often devoid of grass. Lots of other better options out there.

Very Nice

This course never disappoints. The greens were in excellent shape and fast. The fairways are still dormant in spots but still enough to hit off.

Seasonal growth needed

The course will probably have good fairway grass and greens once the growing season kicks in. The course I experienced was not what I have encountered there in the past.

Course was in great shape and the greens were rolling awesome. Course is a great test for intermediate and great golfers with rolling hills, elevation changes, and a good share of water and lots of sand traps. Forces the player into a lot of up-and-down golf.
