Great executive course (par 61) that will just improve as the weather warms up. Consisting mostly of par 3's, there are plenty of par 4's to make it worth bringing along a driver, or at least a 3 wood.

It's only flaw are the greens - all need some TLC. I can't imagine they could be any worse than they are now. They're either all sand or a weeds/sand/grass combo, which means you basically putt and pray.

Regardless, we enjoyed our round so much that we played another 18 holes, and will look for another opportunity the next time we are in the area.

WARNING: Be aware of balls coming from the driving range as you approach the 8th fairway and green and the 9th green.

First of all, is it Legacy Golf Club or Holiday Golf Club? The website (www.legacygolfpcb.com) has both: click on tee times and the main window says Holiday while each tee time box says Legacy; the contact info on one page says hank@holidaygolfclub.com; even a sign inside the clubhouse says Holiday Golf Club.

As noted in a previous review, the price is fairly steep compared to courses we've played here and between here and back home. Without GolfNow discounts it would have cost over $160 for the 2 of us. My guess is with only three "public" 18-hole courses they can pretty much charge whatever and not suffer.

Despite the price, the GPS carts, putting green, 5 tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens were in good shape. The layout was challenging with plenty of must-carries and sand. In addition, on this day the course greens did not match the practice one for speed, which took a few putts to realize they were actually slower.

I can recommend the course but will not play again unless the price comes down.

Although we got a great last minute Hot Deal this course is worth whatever you have to pay to play. IMHO it is one of the premiere facilities in the area. Everything is top class while not being snooty - from check-in to starter, everyone was friendly and understanding.

Because of wet conditions we had to play cart path only but that didn't dampen our enjoyment of the mostly flat but varied fairways and greens. Things change quickly as you encounter the hills of holes 14 through 16, ending high on the 17th tee box where management provides steps to a scenic view you'll want to stop and admire.

It a must-play course when you are in the Lake Geneva area.

From the start we waited 5 to 15 minutes on every shot while a threesome and two singles played in front of us. Why the singles weren't allowed to play through is beyond me and the non-existent course ranger. I plead on these pages once again for better fellow golfer etiquette.

And, for the second time in a week we experienced the shortage of tee boxes - 3 instead of the usual 5. This denies average golfers (male or female) to enjoy the chance to reach 4 and 5 par greens in regulation.

This lakeside course is in decent shape as are all area courses are plush with lush green fairways, thick rough and undulating greens.

Finally, I only recommend this course to others with the two concerns mentioned - slow play and lack of standard tee boxes.

The layout was recently reconfigured to now play the outer 9 then finish on the inner 9, much like a Scottish links course. The change causes a bit of confusion as a few cart paths go from asphalt to gravel, routing you through the new configuration. In fact, one tee box is used for 2 different fairways.

Speaking of tee boxes, there are only 3, which is why I rated the course as Extremely Challenging. NOTE TO MANAGEMENT - five tee boxes would make rounds more enjoyable for those of the shorter drive persuasion by giving them the chance at reaching a 400+ par 4 or 500+ par 5 in regulation.

Currently the course plays a little slow - slow fairways and slow greens.

While I do recommend this course to others it is with the caveat that you'll need to stripe them long to achieve anywhere near par.

From the club house/restaurant to the manicured greens to the lush fairways to the practice greens and driving range, this is one of the most well kept facilities in the area. And the fees are more than reasonable, even without a GolfNow Deal. Just a delightful experience all around.

Except for pace of play I've given 5 stars to every other area of this exceptional course. The lesser "pace" score has nothing to do with the course and everything to do with the group in front of us - no one in front of the 3 of them and yet they wouldn't let the 2 of us play through from the time we caught up with them on the 4th green. Please don't be that group whenever you play!

It's a little scary to view a drone video of a course and see a lot of water. But during the round we found that the many lakes, ponds and creeks of Old South had very little affect on our playing decisions.

This property is an all around first class operation from the facilities and equipment to the staff, but we couldn't have played here without the GolfNow price. Normal it's in the range of $80+ and the course shows it with pristine tee boxes, fairways and greens.

Watch out, though, for the challenging 7th/8th hole combo. The par 4 7th features a forced-carry-layup over marsh then a right turn over water to a green surrounded by bunkers. This is followed by the par 3 8th with another forced carry over marsh.

We hope to play here again the next time we're in the area.

First time playing here and we were pleased with the facilities, staff (except the cart guy), tee boxes, fairways, greens and overall layout.

It's now our new favorite Hilton Head Island course for the money.

We hadn't played here in a few years (since they quit using GolfNow). It was then one of our favorite "close to home," "subdivision" courses.

Although the amenities are vastly improved (swimming pool, restrooms, restaurant, etc.) the course is no longer getting the professional attention it needs: the fairways need mowing; the bunkers are hard and weedy; and the greens are beginning to dry out.

In addition, you now have to tee off over several yards of rough before getting to the fairway on a couple of holes.

Pace of play was hampered by a grandfather teaching a grandson the subtleties of the game, one of which was not allowing faster players to play through.

It's still a challenging course with many good points, just not the ones that will entice us to play there again.

This course checks off all boxes of excellence for an AFFORDABLE golfing experience. From its practice and chipping greens to the driving range it provides what you need to get your game started.

Tee boxes are fair but if you're here for the first time you may want to swallow the ego and move up one place to get a good feel for the fairways and green placement.

After a night of heavy rain we saw no sign of puddling except in a few bunkers. The fairways rolled forever and the greens were true.

We highly recommend Rocky Bayou and will look forward to playing there next spring.

We played here 2 years ago and thought it was on its last leg, having pared down from 27 holes to 18 and needing a lot of TLC.

The reason we played this time - my wife decided in the morning that we should play and this was one of the few courses in the area that had a tee time at a decent price.

Our expectations were mildly exceeded when the course marshall drove a new cart to my wife while I checked in. The staff made us feel welcomed and took extra time to explain the layout and the signage.

Agreeing with other reviewers that this place still needs TLC (especially the Bay 9 fairways and greens), someone has recently put a lot of effort into making sure players know how to get around the courses, not easy if left on your own.

Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the improvements and the condition of the courses and will look to play here again.

All previous reviews are right on point (pun intended) - nice clubhouse, friendly and helpful staff, electric carts, generous fairways, true rolling greens, fluffy bunkers, etc.

My problem and frustration - there's water everywhere! From the bay to creeks to ponds and lakes, every fairway or hole has water (or swamp) to either hit beside or over.

Don't get me wrong you'll have a great experience on this impressive Nicklaus layout that's starting to show it's age.

So, if you're like me and occasionally spray your drives and iron shots you may want to bring extra balls.

We had fun on an extremely hot, dry day despite no water stations on the course.

We booked our 2pm tee time based on living in the eastern time zone, but a review of the confirmation email had us at 3pm which didn't fit our schedule at all. A call to the pro shop pleasantly assured us they wouldn't be that busy and we'd go off whenever we got there, which turned out to be 2pm ET/1pmCT. Kudos to the staff for being flexible.

The course layout is old-style golf - early holes on the inside and late holes surround the perimeter. It's a fun course with very few water hazards, rock-hard bunkers and short rough.

A few long putts were made thanks to the greens running true. While playing a few of them were being watered. The fairways and tee boxes were another matter as the recent dry conditions have baked them into powdery dryness and bare spots. The rough has thankfully been cut short, so finding your ball is fairly easy.

I can safely say we will play here again when in the area.

We played this course several years ago and had fond memories of a typical southern layout, and nothing has changed.

There was the mobile home type building with a deck on the back that serves as the pro shop, the large covered shed where gas-powered carts are stored and the starter's shack guarding the paths to the first and tenth holes. The staff treated us with respect and patience while allowing 3 of our party to put together their own sets of clubs from the large assortment of rentals.

Tee boxes were a hodgepodge - some in decent shape, others in definite need of TLC. Fairways offered great rollouts after a day of light rain and a scorching sun. Bunkers had not been raked in a while leaving them very hard. Greens were inconsistent at best - some slow, some fast, some in pristine shape, some with disease blotches and spots. Pace of play was normal for a Friday as we were a late morning group, and after chasing wayward tee shots and hunting numerous lost balls managed to still finish 4 hours later.

As long as the GolfNow Deal is still available we will be back.

If you haven't played here in a year or two you might be surprised at the changes. The course is now managed by Man O War Golf in Lexington under former High Point in-house pro Matthew McCrady.

Starting with landscaping upgrades that included short wooden fencing around the parking lot and clubhouse, they have since built a new cart barn, expanded the bar/restaurant, and most recently added new comfy Club Car carts with GPS and Bluetooth.

The course is still in need of extensive cart path repair (thus 4 stars for course conditions) of which they are aware and have plans to rectify in the near future.

All that said, Thoroughbred's greens remain some of the best maintained in the area, the fairways are blazingly fast this time of year and the staff are super friendly. A fun place to play.

From the drive through the neighborhood you could tell better days were in the rear view mirror. The course and facilities reflected the same vibe as I entered the pro shop for check-in. The staff were super and engaging and as a first-timer I was handed a course booklet. After being paired with a friendly couple from Canada we were on our way starting on the back 9.

Like many older courses this one had seen better days, most apparent on the brown fairways and the often dangerous cart paths. Tee boxes, greens, and bunkers were all in good shape.

The warm weather and congenial golf-mates made our 4 hour pace of play a very pleasant experience.

This is at least my fourth review of this course and I can't say enough good things about it.

This day was exceptional. As we waited in our cart for the starter we witnessed a spectacular rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center 20 miles away in the middle of the day. We also saw at least three alligators either swimming or sunbathing in the course's plentiful water hazards.

The fairways were in "winter" shape, causing our balls to roll forever - more often a good thing unless you were close to water or wooded areas. The greens were fast but true.

Pace of play on a Thursday afternoon was surprisingly slow, most likely because of the beautiful day and the popularity of the course. We were a twosome behind several foursomes, but still finished in just over 4 hours.

This is our go-to course whenever we're in the area, even driving from as far away as Davenport. We will play here everytime we have the chance.

This is THEe most beautiful, well groomed, and challenging course we've ever played.

Everything from the drive into the resort, the parking lot, the walk into the clubhouse, the staff, the cart attendent and the starter are a class above those where we've played before.

It wasn't on my bucket list but should be on yours.

P.S. Our "Pace of Play" was hampered by our twosome playing behind nothing but foursomes.

One of the reasons we play here is because of the extra forward tee for women. From them my wife's drives can compete with mine.

In addition, the staff were super friendly, the fairways allowed for extra rolls and the greens and bunkers were in great shape.

On this day the pace of play was slower than past rounds because we were a twosome behind 3 foursomes.

This is now one of our go-to courses when we are in the area.

This is one course I always try to play when in the area.

I can count on Mystic Dunes to feature a friendly staff, well-groomed fairways, humbling bunkers, forced-carry ponds and marshes, perfect tee boxes, and fast but fair greens.

This round was no exception,. We will be back.
