A real classic

Played this course while in college nearly 50 years ago - nice to see that it has been so well kept after all these years - a great experience!

Disappointing Conditions

Greens and tee boxes are as bad as I have ever seen them. There is a new golf pro that I’m praying turns this course around. I really think they need to close down for a couple of weeks as well as every Tuesday possibly to get things moving in the right direction. The course has so much potential, but putting through what seems like a sand trap with small patches of Bermuda isn’t ideal.

Great Family Golf

Took the boys and my wife for a round of golf.
Everyone was so friendly including the staff.
Pace of play was good some may complain it may have been a little slow but we were in no hurry.
We will play again and would recommend it to all

Potential

I’ve played this course many times. It’s the best I’ve seen the greens but they are still below average. Still lots of spots with no grass. Bunkers are in good shape. Most tee boxes were decent but some need help. Layout is challenging and all greens are elevated. For $56 on a weekend morning, even though it was Easter, and free range balls, carts pretty new…..value was average. Curse needs an active marshall. Group hitting multiple balls each off most tees.

Quite poor conditions on many greens.
Fairways and tee boxes were better than average. Please make considerable improvements on putting surfaces.

Play somewhere else

The course was laid out fine. The greens were in awful condition. Sparse grass and in desperate need of being rolled. The greens were very small. Thus, maintaining them should have been much easier. There were large areas with no grass at all, on the putting surface. Very disappointed. I’ll never play there again.

Terrible Greens

The greens are solid dirt with patches of grass here and there. The ball hops the entire way to the hole. If you’re trying to keep a true score, it’s impossible. I’m not sure how they can justify charging $50-$60 with greens in that condition. $30 is all it’s worth at best. Will not be going back anytime soon. Rather pay the extra and go to Carter Plantation.

Much Better Conditions than July

I wrote a review back in July when the course conditions were not great. Fairways were the best I've seen them, greens still need work. Still too many dead spots but they did look better. It gave us home that in 2024 this course will compete with other courses in the area.

This is a Country Club?

The course welcomes “anything goes” kind of play. Not many playing had any etiquette and shouldn’t have been playing out there. The course was in rough shape and there were dead carts all over the course. I was baffled that this was even labeled as a country club to be honest. I don’t feel the need to play it again.

Needs Lots of Work for Price

Staff is great, let me start off by saying that. This is our local course. It desperately needs work for the amount of money being charged. The Northshore has a ton of golfers but only a couple of public courses. Prices should be $20 tops especially since Carter Plantation is $50-$70 to play and their course is pristine. Golf cart would suddenly stop multiple times while on cart path. Greens should not have so many dead spots this late into the warmer months. Hopefully management puts more $$ into the course for next season because it has great potential.

Horrible Staff

We brought our father to play his first round of golf today and the marshals made it a horrible experience. We were told we needed to hurry up and move along because we were holding up the group behind us. Even when they were two holes behind his. Marshals at one point told us we need “to wait and let them play through”. Upon doing this, the group that was “waiting on us” informed us that they were not and the Marshall had told them “I’ll make the group in front of you wait” for no reason at all. The Marshall actually slowed down the pace of play. Absolute joke of a staff.

Horrible shape

I’ve played this course many times, and it’s always been playable. But now, it’s nowhere near playable. Greens are horrendous. I have better greens in my backyard. Not to mention, the “green” on hole 3 is in the fairway. No way I’ll be playing here anytime soon until this course gets some major work. Not worth the price you pay to play. I don’t even think it’s worth a 20$ round right now. You’re better off going to carters.
