North/West at Etowah Valley Country Club & Golf Lodge

It is not fair to give this course a poor rating at this time as they recently had lots of rain which resulted in lots of water on the course. The scenery is beautiful and the course is fun to play. I will return again after it has had a chance to dry out.

2nd time playing. Rain soaked condition.
We thought it was just ok. Played South & West course.

The greens roll true, but slightly slower than to be expected for 5 days without rain.. wouldn’t have helped my cause because I played poorly everywhere outside of 100 yards, but still an enjoyable round.

Quality Round, Greens are in good shape, fairways are in good shape. Well maintained course. Played in under 4hrs, all. the carts were out on the course too.

I’ve played here many times - plays long for senior golfers - huge greens like most resort courses but putted true - fairways need more grass & many wet spots
I only paid $8 for my round so I shouldn’t complain about the conditions
There are a lot better courses around but you can usually get a tee time on the afternoon
Friendly staff & decent practice facilities

Great way to spend a Sunday during the Pandemic! Course was in very good shape considering the amount of rain that it has received in the last few days. I would highly recommend.

Very pleasant round of golf. Nice people at the club house. enjoyed the course that it can play long with long shots in the green. The fairways were ok considering the rain and the time of the year. Greens were very nice. The little wind made it more difficult to get the distances right as we are not playing this course too often. We would go play it again. thank you

Pace of play was slow, fairways and greens were good, traps and cartpaths need work.

Not bad for a $25 round. The starter even let me blaze through the additional 9 I didn’t get to play.

Overall, I’d say they keep things inexpensive and the course reflects it in quality. Not the greatest turf but manageable. Not too many shape shots, kind of an open layout. Don’t expect this to be a super aggressive mountain course. And be prepared for the north course and it’s layout. The course zigzags and you really gotta double check tee boxes to make sure you are hitting in the right spot.

Expect typical value golfers out there. Speakers rocking, chugging beers and screaming profanities. Not a huge deal but just know what you are getting.

Loved the south course the most. Very nice layout cut into the trees.

Lastly, thank you for keeping the trees. Gary Player, the tree hugger, would be thankful.

The entire area has had an incredible amount of rain. But the course was a muddy mess. They should simply have closed and allowed the course to dry out. Obviously it was cart path only but it was apparent they hadn’t been able to mow for an extended period. Portions of the fairway had patches of grass 6-8 inches deep. Hard to locate the ball when it was in the middle of the fairway on some holes. Greens fee was low but the whole experience was exceedingly frustrating. Every step entailed stepping in mud, grass up to my ankle or goose poop.

Course was in good shape for a wet sloppy day. Rained two days previous and all during the round, greens didn’t have any pooling and the fairways were not mush.
