Pickens Golf Club

After playing difficult mountain courses that test every element of your game on a routine basis, it is refreshing to play a course that is just fun. Wide fairways, fair risk/reward conditions. Super friendly staff that gave us a course book to help enjoy our experience. We will be back.

The coarse had a super fun layout! All of the holes were unique and fun. The newly paved cart paths rode amazing! Fairways and greens were in great shape. You will not find a better course for the price.

Pickens golf club is under new ownership and is having a much overdue new clubhouse built. It’s construction and increased parking lot size along with what should be a good practice Putting green should be ready in a year or two. The course is in average shape, meaning that the tee boxes are over sanded and need to fill in. Although the Fairways are well covered with Bermuda, they didn’t do much leveling when they designed it.. very bumpy. And the greens have many areas that need grass to fill in. We arrived on time for our tee time, but still had to wait 20 minutes behind a log jam at the first hole because of unmanaged starting and course pace of play. Granted, we played on a Saturday, but we left at the seventh hole because we had already been playing for over two hours.
*** Important FYI: holes one through three don’t exist so you start on number four and repeat holes, just playing at different distances.
For the price, it’s decent enough to enjoy on a weekday. I look forward to coming back and trying it again when everything is built and all the holes are being used.

The fairway and rough are very thick Bermuda you can loose your ball right in the middle. And it’s very difficult to play out of. Played many times and will play again

I’ve played Pickens a couple times in the past month or so. The only complaint I have is that the rough grass is too high. Many times my partner or I would hit a less than perfect shot and spend 3-5 minutes trying to find a ball that was 2’ out of the fairway. The greens are in good shape and course layout is good. My partner lost 4 balls that we watched land within 8’ of edge of fairway, but due to grass being so high they couldn’t be found.

Course is in good condition. The long rough mostly Bermuda make it very difficult to find your ball. If it gets down in you have to be right on top of it to see it. Played it a couple of times and will surly play it again.

This was a good hybrid 9 course: play one set of tee's on "front" and another set on "back" with 3 primary tee boxes to choose from. The renovations they have planned are going to make this a great course for average golfers looking for a fun round with some challenging shots.

This was my first time playing this course and I was impressed. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews that were left here. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The fairways were in really good shape and were nice and green. The greens were about a week out from being punched and sanded but they they rolled nicely and I would imagine they will be per perfect in about a week. I will definitely play here again.

Layout was nice, pace of play was good. It was very dry and the fairways were hard to hit off. More irrigation would help tremendously. This course has a lot of potential to be excellent.

I am a budget golfer who isn’t very good but good enough to know what a good course is. I’ve played an abundance of courses from $20-$50 and for $38 this was the worse golf course ever. The fairways are like playing in someone’s over grown backyard. The greens are unbelievably hard and holes are put on steep ridges. Terrible golf experience. However the staff are great super nice and helpful.
