Average course good Greens

Played the West/North combo. The tees and fariwars were average, bare in spots. The greens were very good and though a little slow rolled excellent. they layout was interesting and provided a good mix of holes. I would reccomend the course.

outstanding

I live close by and always drive by going to work and always see the crew working on the golf course. What an outstanding job they have done at restoring the course after it was not taken care of a couple years ago. My brother drove up from Jacksonville Florida and was impressed with how outstanding all 27 holes were we ended up playing 36 holes and Larry and the staff are first class. If you have not played etowah lately you need to come play again and see an outstanding course!!!!!

West to North course--flat to hilly

I enjoyed playing both the West and the North courses. The North course was more challenging due to the undulating fairways. Greens were in very good shape. Started and played two holes as a single before the threesome in front of me asked me to join them. Two of these golfers were locals and the third was visiting the area for a month. He, like me, had scheduled through golfnow.com. Weather was excellent. I'll be back to play this course!

Improving

This is a good course that was allowed to erode. Clearly they have made a commitment to restoring the course to its old glory. Still a way to go, but there are signs everywhere of improved maintenance and investment.

The greens are in excellent condition! Tee boxes are a mixed bag- some where renovated last fall while other still need work.

Overall, a great value.

Under new ownership. Plans for improving the course, but it is going to take several years in my opinion

Would definitely like to play again.

The day I played was the day after our area had received well over an inch of rain, so I was expecting the course to be extremely soggy. However, after the first couple of holes, we did not have any real issues with water. There were a few spots of standing water, but considering the weather the day before, the course had drained exceptionally well. The fairways were starting to green up pretty well also. The greens were still a little bumpy from the spring aerification, but that was really the only real bad mark I would give the course. All in all, for the price we paid to play, I was very pleased with the overall condition of the course, and I look forward to returning to Etowah for another round once the fairways and greens have had time to completely come back to life from the winter dormancy and spring aerification.

This is a very good 27 hole course

This course has so much improved in conditions, it is on it's way back to the way it was originally. The staff is very
accommodating & the course is enjoyable to play again.
I've played this course for more than 30 years, keep up the good work.

Forgiving

With the super wide fairways and large greens it's a very forgiving course, but with strategic pin placements and large green side bunkers accuracy is a must in order to make par. Played this course about 5 years ago and it hasn't changed much. The course(north + west) were open with the south course getting maintenance. I really enjoyed the course and this round became the third time I have shot 80...

I really like the layout

Played the North and South courses on Labor Day Afternoon solo. Fairways where in Good Shape! Greens were a little damp but with all the rain lately, no surprise there. North course had one hole that could use some work - #7, Drainage around the Front Right Sand Trap is really bad, That section should be called ground under repair. But if you can avoid that area, you should be alright. Looks like all new carts as well.

Thje cours layout is good with nominal hazzards.

The fairways are fairly open. The greens are challenging. The staff are all cordial and conscientious about the course conditions.
