A golf paradox
Club house is fine. Golf carts are new and perfect. Tees and fairways are in very good condition, even though every thing is bermuda grass. The sand traps are lousy, with wet, compacted sand that hasn't been properly raked for a while. Importantly, the greens are enormous and in better shape than any course I've played in central TN. Better than Legends, Gov. Club, or any other CC or public course. Kudo's to the greenskeeper. He is truly underrated!
Sadly, the layout is boring. Pretty reminiscent of Harpeth Hills or Shelby Park. Back and forth layout with holes of minimum interest. I'd play it again because of the condition and the greens, but I wish the layout was more unique.
Hottest day of the year
Place was in great shape. Greens are in perfect condition. Couple of nasty pin placements. Wouldn’t change a thing, except maybe the outside temperature.
Beautiful course
Played this course for the first time Tuesday Sept. 26th and enjoyed it so much went back on Wednesday Sept. 27th. This course is in awesome condition. The greens are perfect. They do a great job with this course. The young lady in the shop is so super nice and friendly. They make you feel welcomed and they want you to come back. If I get back to the state park again I will definitely take my clubs. Enjoy the course and the wildlife and the beauty of this course.
Fun
It's an awesome course. It's Fun to play. Great food at the snack bar. Great Lady that runs it. The Staff isn't quite as good as it use to be but more that addiqute!
Great Park
Good buddies trip
Spent a weekend buddies trip here on the “play and stay” winter package. The course is in good shape and is challenging. Holes are longer and require proper fairway placement for approaches. Large greens were in good shape for November and putted well. #14 is a long par 3 that plays 200 – 250 yards, #10 is a monster par 4 and #6 a long challenging par 5. The staff at the pro shop was friendly and accommodating and the cheeseburger at the snack bar was outstanding.
We stayed at the park inn. Rooms were rustic but comfortable and clean. The restaurant at the inn has buffets for dinner Tuesday - Saturday and breakfast Saturday and Sunday. The food was excellent and staff friendly.
Will plan another trip here in the future.
Nice condition in late June 2014
I believe it was around $40 to ride 18 on a weekday. A great price for a very well maintained course. I had no issues with course condition. Greens are smooth and true. A challenging but fair course. There are a few long holes: #10 is a 450+ par-4 that plays uphill and is a bit tight in the trees. #14 is a long par-3 that can play 200-250 yards depending on which tees you play. The 18th is a monster par-5. A great finishing hole. Henry Horton is in my rotation of courses I prefer to play most often.
