Great as always

A little damp but the course was in great shape. Greens roll true and are tough, but I like the challenge (no pun intended ). And at such a great value it’s a must play if you haven’t already

Continues to be in great shape

Probably my 10th time playing there this calendar year. Continues to be in fantastic condition and worth the price. Groundskeeper was in a mood placing pins this weekend though. Had them in several spots I hadn’t seen before. The only thing that prevents this course from being 5 stars is cart conditions and lack of driving range ( I hear new carts are on order for the winter)

Solid Course

The Challenge is a delight little setup off I-40. The Pro Shop is stocked, but not with an abundance of items. The putting greens are great. There isn't a range, but there are hitting bays, next to the practice area. It is a fun course that has open fairways, and plenty of vegetation to lose balls. A downside is on hole #9 they have a posting about the golfer paying for damaged property. Thought the HOA covers stuff like that.

Wonderful Character

Being a resident of Florida golf courses can be well conditioned but of little character. The Challenge was delightful change of pace. The hills, trees, rocks, streams and wonderful course conditions made this a
very memorable experience. I highly recommend if you are in the Greensboro area play this course!

On another note. I want commend the outside staff gentleman that found and returned Bushnell laser range finder. The fact that I have worked at numerous courses in central Florida I am acutely aware of range finders not being found or turned in. Compliments to management and the entire staff. Friendliness and integrity are integral parts of great customer service.

Fun Time

The name of the course is accurate, it is a challenge. Place your shoes smartly, you can do well. Errant shots are punished as there’s lots of thick brush/grass on either side, as well as heavily canted fairways.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the course is is good shape, and it is a beautiful course. Will play again when I have a chance.

Nice course!

Glad I decided to try this even though it's a 45-60 minute drive. It's an interesting but not impossible layout...went as a single hooked up with another player on the first tee. Another group let us play through and we made it around in 3 1/2 hours!

Great Value

This is my home course (I live on the course!). Obviously I'm fond of the course, but I believe everyone would appreciate the work they have done since new ownership. They have replaced all the greens and are rebuilding sand traps. This were the best greens of all the courses I have played this year. Great staff and amenities. Pace is great which is refreshing to experience, at least in our area. Overall a great value for a course comparable to others costing twice as much for greens fee's. This course is a must try if you get the opportunity.

An Excellent Value

I have been to this course 5-6 times this year (2019) and it continues to be a challenging and tricky course. Playing in November can be chancy but the course was in great shape, they did some over seeding and are doing a good job of keeping leaves off the course. As I was first one out this am, I breezed through in 2 hours. And the value of this course is GREAT. I will continue to go back. Staff are very friendly.
