What happened to the course?

Man this place is in rough shape! Couple of the greens are torched, many of the tees are uneven and look like people are using shovels for clubs. Fairways are beat up. Place used to be in way better shape. Sorry but we won’t be back again.

It's in REALLY bad shape

This place seems to get worse and worse every year. Absolutely the worst course condition I've seen in the area this year. Theres not grass on the tees, no sand and seed to help grow them, Really bad condition fairways and greens. No sand in the bunkers. Its a real shame what this place has become over the years. Tree stumps everywhere that were cut down and they just left the stumps instead of grinding them and planting some grass seed?? Yea the new paved cart paths and parking lot are a nice touch... but id rather have dirt cart paths than dirt tees, fairways and greens. I think someone needs to remind them that seed + sand + water is how to grow grass... water your tees.

Great layout superb greens

Alright, they are awaiting sand for the Traps. Fine. The layout is ideal for average and above averge players. The rough is short, to help speed of play.
They have Bomber holes and Target golf holes, but the greens are true and Tricky.
I was told they break towards town, i didn't know which town...
Fantastic tour. I am an hour away and will Gladly make the trip again.
I am based in Myrtle, and my guys would love this course. Even though it may kick their, Have a great day.

9 holes.

Had planned and paid for 18, but when we got to the turn there were FOUR other groups waiting to tee off. It was a great fall day and EVERYONE came out to play.
Course was in great shape, as it always is.

Really great course in great condition. The greens were poked last week, but with tiny holes you hardly notice, and the ball was still rolling fast. Not as fast before being poked, but fast enough that you had to worry about speed. Staff is very friendly. My son got sick halfway through the front nine and had to quit, And the pro was extremely understanding and gave him a 9-hole rain check. Carts are in great shape, but my only complaint is that they are too slow. Strong recommend--try Sunset Ridge and you won't be disappointed.

Grounds crew is a joke

The course is solid at its price point . Greens are okay, some chewed up tee boxes and some rough spots in the fairway. No problems there though…for 30$ with a cart that’s to be expected. The grounds crew however had no awareness of anyone else on the course and one crew member in particular was downright rude as can be. Here’s some of the stupidity they did.

Cut the fairway and wouldn’t stop to let you take your tee shot. So I guess they are just asking to be hit by a golf ball.
If your ball landed in the rough where they were cutting they were extremely rude and wouldn’t let you search for your ball cause they needed to get it cut. Yelled at us to pick it up while we’re waiting for a group that’s on the green anyway. Pretty sure he already picked up my ball and pocketed it.
Ran over crab apples with the rough mowers and almost hit a few people in our group.
Yelled at our group for not staying on the cart path when we were 80 yards out from the green and hitting a ball from the fairway cut on a par 3. We saw several groups before us there driving their carts right up to the green(no handicap flag) and yet the dude mowing decides to lecture us and not the scramble playing before us.

If you don’t want people to drive over areas you’ve got to rope them off. 6 stakes by the tee off area that say no carts doesn’t apply to the whole hole. If your doing all your mowing at 11 am on a Friday expect to wait. I’d stay away from this course until the evening when they aren’t mowing.

Play this course!

If you like/love golf this is a great course to put on your list of ones to play. Pleasantly surprised by the conditions on the course as well as off the course. Paved cart paths throughout. A new parking lot with lights going in now. Course is in great shape and challenging. Great views of the valley. Have fun!

Nice course

Course is nice with some interesting holes. Our only issue was the layout is hard to follow with just the scorecard. There were a few holes where we had to use our gps to find out the actual layout and distance to hazards that should be on the scorecard or at the post at each tee box. Other than that the course was great. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new course to try out.

Very selfish players

Two players, talking so much time video taping their playing and slowing the whole teams behind them. they were aware of all other teams waiting and waiting for them to move ahead. And there was no ranger at all to get this players to either play faster, not to video tape, nor yield. So slow and so bad.

Course in general needs lots of works to call it a golf course.
Some greens were severely damaged, unplayable, some courses were disrupted with big dig holes, fairways do not have good grasses. Overall this golf course needs lots of improvement to be called a golf course.

Interesting that your one star review is surrounded by 4 and 5 star reviews. The course is getting a half million dollars in upgrades, and under construction so they must be doing something right. Plus you are from Marcellus and bashing a successful local business...real nice. I give you a 1 star review!
