Etowah Valley Golf & Resort

Great course. Would definitely recommend to others the play. Will play again

Had to wait 30 minutes past our tee time to get golf cart.

Yes, it was a holiday weekend (Friday), but tee time was delayed by 30 minutes. No Marshalls or Starter. There was a random guying hawking balls from the creeks and ponds - Why is he allowed during course play?

The remodeling is stagnant and sucks the life out of what the course could be, it’s former glory.

I’m never disappointed when playing at Etowah Valley. It is probably my favorite course. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and you rarely ever run into any jerks.

Right now, the entire course is cart path only, which is understandable, especially since the damage Hurricane Helene caused to the area. The fairways have been re-seeded and the grass should be up very soon. The greens looked great. Some are a bit fast and will trick you if you don’t read them just right.

The bar is great, and they have a wide selection. Perhaps having live music return would be an added bonus.

Never seen this course in such poor conditions. Fairways were horrible and the sand traps were pathetic.They should of refunded the greens fees.

Started half an hour past our tee time. There was no starter, so groups had to figure it out. Seemed oversold. Took over 2:30 for the front nine. Several bunkers under construction and were mud pits. I'd play elsewhere.

Tee boxes are all weeds, fairways burned out, sand traps dried dirt not sand, sand on all greens and no notice of aeration of greens. Very sad as I used to play here years ago. Bathroom on the course was disgusting, not usable.

Etowah is a solid course, challenging but fair. Course in good shape, cart paths must have been destroyed by Hurricane Helene as they are mostly gravel now. Overall a good place to play, considering we lost a few from storm.

The course has 3 nines. One nine was closed for maintenance. The front nine (the west course I think) was a disaster. Fairways and tees were dead and full of weeds. The greens had large sections where sod that had been removed (probably for the maintenance on the third nine). Bunkers had no sand but lots of rocks and weeds. It was almost unplayable. The back nine (the south nine I think) was reasonable. The greens were lush and green but very very slow. The tees and bunkers were great. The fairways were still dormant but fine. I would not play there again based on the conditions of the front nine.

Very friendly staff. Nice range. Great layout. Fairways are still in winter grass but cut perfectly. Greens in nice shape. Some show they have been aerated lately but still in Very good shape. The views were awsome.

Will definitely drive from Charlotte to play again.

First time playing course. Played North/South. North course has more elevation change, South course a bit flat. Overall course is a bit tired. Greens on north OK better on South. Fairways were ok on south, needed help on North. Bunkers were overgrown and in bad shape on north and not much better on south. Lots of ground under repair areas in front of greens on south.

We did get rain during front 9 but played thru. By time we got to back nine rain stopped but the course was completely wet. We slogged thru it. For the fee, should have realized course was going to be questionable. But we had a good time, the staff was friendly and helpful. Would not play again as there are better courses out there in the area.

We were scheduled to play North and & West courses. On arrival we were told the greens on the West course had been punched and it was cart path only due to recent rains, but were given a discounted rate so we were ok with that. We went to the range and were sent out early by the starter…directly behind the men’s league, who said “they won’t hold you up”, when in fact they did. Pace of play was slow we waited on every tee box/fairway, and the state of the North course is abysmal to say the least. Every bunker is GRU, with little to no sand and weeds up to your hips. We finished the North course and went home. 0/10 would not recommend.

Three of us traveled from Simpsonville SC about 1:30 minute ride. The weather was perfect. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Etowah has 3 none hole courses ( West, South and North) We played the West course first, it was in good condition. The greens were in very good shape and the course layout was good. We stopped at the turn and got some quick serve sandwiches. The cheeseburger was great and the price was fair. The second 9 was on the North course. It looks as if they have stopped maintaining this 9. Traps were played as ground under repair. Fairways were mowed, but not in good shape and greens looked like they needed water. The layout of the North course was excellent. I believe they South Course greens were being punched. Not sure why the Pro Shop did not alert us to course conditions of the North Course prior to playing. None the less we had fun.
