Really fast and sloping greens that reward uphill putts

Course was in excellent condition. Some fairways are very narrow in spots. Premiums awarded for distance and accuracy (especially on numerous doglegs). You'll enjoy the course, however the staff and members could be friendlier and more inviting … in my opinion.

Best golf bargain

This is a really nice course, we'll maintain, nice putting green. And a driving range close by. Excellent pace of play. If you are a slicer like me bring a extra box of balls enjoy. It's wroth the money.

Great Place

Beautiful Course. Fairways and greens pristine! The course was in amazing shape, and there was only one 2-some in front of us. We were there on a Sunday with a 10:41 tee time. I would play there again in a heartbeat!!

Course still struggling...

Not a very pretty course. I assume they don't have enough revenue to keep the course looking good?
Greens are nice, but gravel in the traps, wet most any time you go around fairways and in some fairways. Took a swamp and tried to build a golf course in it? Proshop?...register to play in snack bar?

The course was in great shape and everyone I dealt with was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend you play here! Fairly challenging course from the back tees and a good variety of layouts.

Really Disappointed

i am new to area and played this course 3 weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised other than the greens were punched recently but almost healed. i decided to give it another try thinking the greens would be 100%. NO! i find they have verticut the greens and sanded them. it was horrible.i really think green fees should be reduced or golfers should be notified when making tee times about subpar course conditions.....not only that, the course is poorly staffed and managed. i played behind a slow fivesome all day and at the turn it got worse. for whatever reason there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. made for a long day. i complained to the staff but got little response. its a good course with great potential but dissappointed so far. too many nicer courses in the area to worry about it.

Course always decent, but greens a bit sandy

I've played the Country Club a dozen times or so as it's the nearest to my residence and nice course to play both in difficulty and it's general upkeep. They had however, recently sanded the greens, not necessarily plugged them, but sanded them quite heavily. I know this process needs to take place as a means of managing the course, but I've seen others take care of the process with a much less intrusive manner. Though putts where rolling true, there were times I would putt and sand would be spraying up behind the ball, in the same manner that water would spray up if the greens were soggy and wet. Also, due to this maintenance, the back 9 was completely closed, leaving us to play 18 via the front 9 twice. That was faily disappointing, but I do know that maintenance takes preference over getting a full round in. The course is nice and it is challenging, as it always the case, today just happened to be a maintenance period where only one set of 9 was open and the work on the greens left them excessively sandy.

Very nice, but hard course, at a fair price. Yardage markers could have been more plentiful. Very nice greens, but the undulation for a first time player, was quite a challenge. I'd go back. Thanks----- Brent Saunders

Nice course, nice people

When we got there, the man in the shop said that they were aerating the front 9 and We should've been notified by Golfnow but we weren't. (During play, I checked the app and it showed the symbol, but still no notification) He stated that we could play 9 holes or the back 9 twice, or he could fully refund our money. He was very accommodating. We decided to play the back 9 twice. It was a challenging yet fun course for us beginners. The course was nice and well kept. Also, not only the staff were nice, but other fellow golfers were probably the nicest we've ran into since playing. I would come back to this course again to play the whole course.

Old School Course, Fun

Due to the beautiful day, the course got overwhelmed by golfers. The management offered us buckets of balls to use while the tee-offs caught up.At the GolfNow rate of $19.00 including cart, it's no wonder. The course is classic and is very rural. The Bermuda greens are not back yet from the winter we had, but were fine, although devious by slopes that areoptically tough to see and read. Fairways were great to mediocre, sand traps have dense sand, not very deep, hard to blast. A lot of the course requires local knowledge. Doglegs and bends with patches of water to trap you are around as the course sits at the edge of Holt Lake. Beware, there are the classic 200-150-100-75-50 yd markers, but none to let you know how far out the dogleg is. All in all, I'll go back... it was a fun place to play, especially at the price. Oh, yes, parking is tight, I was on a piece of land on the street near the lapping of the lake. Pretty layout. I suspect in another month this will be a great play!
