Dogwood Hills Golf Club

just challenging enough to make you work for a good score, but just easy enough to go home feeling good about how tou played

I really enjoy this course and it’s layout..
Great place to play in North Alabama..

For this time of year, the course was in really good shape. My only complaint is that the bunkers were hard pan and very little sand.

I had an excellent day at this course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent shape. The fairways are fairly open, but the greens are smooth and fast. The staff and golfers have done an excellent job repairing ball marks.

I played early in the morning and there was a 5some in front of me and they had no problem letting me play through. The course was in good condition. It is not a real long course. Perfect course for a beginner. Tee boxes and greens were in really good shape.

They have a great place to eat but no food. The bathrooms on the course were a mess. Great wide flat tee boxes, forgiving fairways and well maintained greens. If I didn’t live an hour away I would be a member of this course.

Golf now never give me a final cost of what i have paid
Had to look on Bank statement and DIDNT get my Discount

The course is in very good shape. The tees, fairways and greens are in excellent shape. The sand traps are in terrible condition which seems to be the case at a lot of courses. My only complaint is that Dogwood Hills has absolutely no Covid-19 safeguards in place. No masks in the clubhouse. No instructions to. not touch flagsticks. No safeguards in the holes. Rakes are all over the course and so are ball washers. This is the tenth course that I have played since April and it is the only one without any Cocvid-19 safeguards in place. No excuses. The course needs to do a lot better.

I played here for the first time today. It was lovely. Nice course, well maintained, friendly staff.

Staff friendliness was questionable but the course itself was great. Great layout fast greens no complaints

This course and the people that run it are super cool. They take care of the facility and course. It's not a pro course, but it is well taken care of. Always a good day when I go there!

Deceptively challenging. Many of the greens are above or below your approach in, makes for a good challenge. The back nine is magazine quality.

Overall the course was in decent shape. Greens were incredibly soft with no roll and some still with aeration holes. Fairways were mostly intact. Bunkers awful. Tee boxes overall OK but rarely flat - felt I was hitting with my feet above or below the ball far too often.

Course layout is good. Challenging but fun to play.

BUT - the pace of play was the worst I’ve ever encountered. And that says a lot considering California courses with 6 min tee time spread leads to 5+ hour rounds. People yelling in backswings. Essentially the nightmare for lack of golf etiquette all around.

The guy at the front was friendly, not overly friendly maybe cordial is a better description. As he handed me a towel to wipe of the cart seat he told me to grab a BLACK cart. I would soon figure out the black carts are the old gas style carts, literally everyone else I saw was in a grey electric cart. My cart would lag, I had to keep shutting the key off and back on or feather the gas to finally go. In my opinion I got that crap cart because I’m not a member OR because he never saw me before. It was very frustrating at times.

Now aside from that, the course is beautiful and a great layout. The greens are very nice and the fairways were also in great shape. I never had a flat or straight putt, I love that. The greens rolled really nice, you really had to pay attention to the direction of the grain. That was the first time I played on Bentgrass greens and I truly enjoyed it. All in all I would put up with a crappy cart again if that’s what it takes to play Dogwood hills again ( though I hope I get a grey cart next time). The course is an hour and fifteen minutes from my house in Rhea county TN, and well worth the time.
