Great for Beginners / Iron Game

I learned how to play golf here. It is also a great place to sharpen your iron game. My wife asked the best place for her to learn the game and I said here without a pause. Very laid back and no one really rushing you. Goes without saying the two men that run the course are extremely friendly and seem to genuinely love having people at the course. It's not a pristine course and yes there could be some improvements, but overall it is perfect t for someone to learn or work on irons

Great value

Great little course to work on you short game. Nice layout and easy to get a round of golf in about 2 hours. Golf now price of 13.99 can’t be beat. Greens were not in good shape but that is to be expected for February in Alabama.

Country Golf

Writing this review is difficult -- I have "recommended" this course, but please read this before deciding to play.
The pros -- I look at this course and see TONS of potential. It is a great layout and the fairways have been closely mowed. The staff is very friendly.
The cons -- this course needs some TLC. The greens are TINY, and several have been overgrown by native grasses. The greens on holes #2 and #6 look like they were simply cut out of the fairway. Several holes are very narrow and in need of trimming of overhanging tree branches. One-third of the tee boxes were completely bare -- no grass to hit from.
Despite the cons, I enjoyed my round. Finished in just over 2 hours. The cheap Hot Deal I got made it worth the while. This would be a great course to work on your wedges and short irons, if they could just get it in better shape.

Very Fun-Excellent Value

Just a super fun little par 3 course. Tight greens make for a few challenging shots. Great short game practice. Very fast pace. Excellent value for $15 on a Saturday. Greens are rough, I gave myself putter length gimmes and I think thats fair for the conditions.

Buy in person, do not use GolfNow

$12.50 for 18 holes when you walk up. If you pay for it on GolfNow, then you have to pay a convenience fee. Probably not worth the gas to get to the course

Short iron course. Older course. Needs work especially the greens. Price is suitable for condition.of course. I would play it again because it's a great course for iron work.

Great place for learning golfers at a bargain price

If you’re a new golfer who has not yet played a round (18 or 9 holes) of golf and you’ve only used the driving range and practice facilities so far, this is a great place to start playing the game, especially since all 18 holes are Par 3.

Also, you can play 18 holes and have a cart to use for only a little over $21 or so. Can’t beat that.

Now to the negatives. The cart path is incomplete and trying to determine where the path resumes is confusing. Also, it can be hard to determine whether you’re heading in the right direction to get to the next correct hole on the course.

Otherwise, it’s a great place with a friendly staff, etc.

It was not a good experience

The staff was very nice and it would be a good little course for people that have never played golf but it was a terrible experience. I left after 30 minutes and payed for 18. The greens were so bad I couldn’t even put the ball. More dirt than grass. Very poor experience
