Great Condition

Best condition I've seen Lonnie in 18 months. Fairways are full, rough is dense, greens very good other than the unrepaired ball marks!!!
Played in under 4 hours which is always nice.

Great Course!!!! Pace of play.....SLOW!!!

There are too many nongolfers playing this course! The group in front of us were playing for the 3rd time ever. Why do that to yourself and everyone behind you. Play an easier, shorter course where you can have fun. Besides that everything about the course is great! Be prepared for a long afternoon.

Awesome Course

This is such an awesome course. Bent grass greens are so nice this time of year, while places with Bermuda are in recovery. Don’t hit in the long stuff because you probably won’t find your ball. Cart paths only were a disappointment for me but I understand.

Great layout… ok conditions… staff unfriendly

The course layout is fantastic. The bunkering is beautiful. The fairways were a bit a tall for my liking and the greens are a bit slower than they should be. Duke course conditions are way better. People didn’t fix their pitch marks on the green. The staff was like everyone hated to be there and treated us like we were an annoyance to them.

Always solid

Great course that has high value. Challenging and in fine shape.

Restaurant is lacking so lunch or dinner at the course wouldn’t be recommended.

Staff is always helpful and friendly.
