The course was in good shape considering all the recent rain. The course is well maintained but the bunkers could use some more sand. The scenery makes the course that much more pleasurable to play.

Nice course. It had rained so it was a little sloppy in spots and there wasn't a lot of run on the ball after it was down but overall an enjoyable course.

Great Layout

This was my first time playing the course and it did not disappoint. The greens rolled great, and the fairways were tight. The staff was very friendly and took the time to talk and make us feel welcomed. I will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic Course and Staff - Member problem though

Super course and even better staff. One of the best courses I've ever played. Love these folks! The only issue I see is the pace of play. There is a good ole boy group out there that plays 5- 6 to a group, has kids, won't let anyone play through and the staff won't say anything to them. They're chasing away customers. Tee'd off at 11:00, made the turn at 12:45 and hit a log jam with 4 foursomes backed up because of the good ole boys group. Finished at 3:30. As we left, we saw no one on the course. This group stacked everyone up and everyone was really upset. As I said, the course is losing customers because of these folks.

RClinscott...Thank you so much for the great review of the course and staff. We certainly look down on slow play and do our best to speed play up when necessary. I hope you give us another chance to erase this bad experience and generate a better one for you.
I would love to discuss your experience so i can address the issue on our side. Please reach out to me at the clubhouse 931-761-8124. Thank you.

wish it was closer

the course was a little bit of a ride but definitely worth it.best greens around. like carpets, not a mark on them. loved the hilly terrain and ability to order food at the 8th hole and pick it up at the turn. grab a couple of friends and make the drive. guaranteed you wont be disappointed.. holes seemed longer than stated but it was a great time. we will definitely be back.....

Absolute gem of a course

Had never played here and came in expecting an average small town course. Couldn’t have been more surprised.

The course layout, conditions, pace of play, and value were all incredible

Will be back many times
