Shelby Golf Course

As municipal courses go, this one is average at best. It's very hilly with many blind shots. Not walkable. The greens were in fairly good shape but the fairways were hard as a rock. You literally couldn't get clean contact with the ball. Its not many times that I actually prefer to be in the rough! Only worth it when you go through Golf Now and book a "Hot Deal".

Had a great 18, the course was very well maintained. Looking forward to playing again. Staff was GREAT! m.carden

Course is okay. Just about every hole is up/ down a big hill. A lot of uphill/ downhill/ side hill lies. Most of the greens are elevated so if you're short/ long the ball has no chance of staying next to the green as it will roll down the hill. This makes it hard because the greens are so small! Almost like the VA in Murfreesboro. We only paid $25 including tax so keep that in mind. Bring extra golf balls!!

This golf course should be closed down. Greens are bad, fairways very very very very bad. City is robbing golfers 28 dollars is to much. This course should be free. No one is keeping up with the maintenance of this golf course.

I played both sat and sun. The small greens along with hilly landscape provided and interesting challenge.

I enjoyed the course I like the elevation greens and the par 5's. You must go!!

This course has a lot more terrain than I thought it would. The front nine had a good amount of fallen leaves so straight shots are needed to keep you out of your ball pocket. GPS watches/apps not too helpful since they have winter and summer greens, you aren't sure which ones are being measured? I don't recall seeing any bunkers? Nice course, look forward to trying it again.

Small greens, very hilly, and a few blind holes. Not one sand trap on the course, which I'm ok with, since i seem to always find them. Great challenging course for the value, Will definitely play again.

The course is in great shape, the greens are in great shape, the Manager Daryl and staff are first class.
Great improvement over all.

This is a really fun course to play. It's not exceptionally long from the back tees. For a municipal course you can't beat it. The greens were receptive and the fairways and tee boxes were manicured. Worth playing again!

A pleasant surprise while on vacation. Not a long course, but a good test with small elevated greens and plenty of trees. The greens were well kept and most tee boxes were good. I would love this as a regular course if I lived here. The carts were new and it was a good time and a fun place to play.

Needs some maintainence off the fairways. Greens in great shape. Tee boxes were shabby.

Super, super hilly course. Looks like they took a piece of land good for nothing and decided to put a golf course on it. Add the horse flys buzzing around and the course not marked for distances or direction the holes go. A lot of blind shots also. Not a fun course to play

The course itself is sub-par but maintains moderate value considering the cost.

However, the flaws in the course weren't the culprits of my unfavorable experience. Unfortunately, it was my interactions with what seemed to be a bit of an elitist staff of senior "gentlemen". Just trying to pay and get to the first hole, we were approached with what felt like a "you boy's ever been on a golf course?" mindset.

The vibe continued when we patiently waited for the twosome in front of us to find their shots in the rough and move onto the green. We took our shots and the guy I was playing with had to go find his ball (which he did in no more than 5min). Sure enough, here comes a ranger informing us we need to increase our pace of play. I'm not a great golfer, but I've played 20+ years, including for my high school years ago. I'm aware of how quickly a group should be moving along. Not to mention, there were only 2 of us.

The point is, people come to this course for the lax atmosphere of a public city course and these old guys thought they were running Pebble Beach. The only thing that resembled a beach out there were the greens made of 95% sand, causing for highly inconsistent speeds and the spitting of putts offline that was nothing short of laughable.

If you're looking for an affordable place to play, your money is better spent at Riverside, Two Rivers, or McCabe.

Great value for a round of golf. Conditions were good on some holes and not great on others. Biggest negative is there were no distance markers and no hole layouts. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I will golf there again.

Several tee boxes are rough, fairways aren't great, and greens aren't smooth, but it's a tight and thought-provoking tracks that works your game pretty well. :)

Play here often to sharpen my short game. Short par 4's but challenging greens make this an ideal course for work on the short game. Overall great for the $$ but lose a lot of balls in the fairway!

Course was extremely slow play. Greens were practically impossible to get a ball to stay on if hit on the fly. Greens did putt fairly good but are small. Fairways were cut but had a lot of large dirt spots with no grass. Rough is just overgrown weeds. Ball in the rough is hard to find. Very hilly course and not long at all.

Strange course compared to what is out there now....probably due to it's heritage being built in 1924, so not many long holes. You can leave the driver in the bag. Greens were of a different kind of grain, and bumpy overall. I would say play on a Hotdeal, if nothing else to support a course that is actually in town for locals.
