We'll be back!

Everything from the tee box to the pin was in great shape! It was very busy, but the pace of play was not so slow you couldn't keep moving.
The person who checked us in could use a "pleasant pill" but other than that, a great day of golf. We will be back.

Not bad

Overall, fun round. Fairways 7/10, Putting Greens 7/10, Tee Boxes 7/10, Sand Traps 0/10. Don’t hit the ball in the traps, haven’t been raked in weeks so they’re hard with rain craters. Other than that, the course was nice for the value.

Worth the drive

Played the Jones course today with my son-in-law and we were paired with a father/son from Tennessee. Staff was very courteous and course was in great shape. Greens held shots well and rolled true.

Beautiful Course

This could be a $80 dollar course honestly
Very challenging, if you don’t hit the fairways you will be in trouble. Greens are starting to flourish so they aren’t fully grown in but still roll true.

December round

Course layout is straight forward and greens are boring and consistent. Course condition is fair for this time of years. Course was over seeded tee boxes and fairways. Greens are Bermuda that is healthy but not super consistent. Sand traps were hard packed wet sand that hasn’t been raked in decades - no issue, just lift clean rake and place. For the price and time of year I’d do it again. One thing to note is that they double tee sometimes, so we finished the front in an hour and a half and had to wait forty minutes to tee off the back. The back was stop and go 2 hr round. Still finished in four hours.
