Greens & Fairways Are Excellent!

I’ve played this course several times and this summer the course is in the best condition I’ve ever seen. Greens and Fairways are in excellent condition. My only negative is that one or two of the tee boxes need some work.

Solid course

Decent course and friendly staff. The only issue I had is they overbook a lot which delays pace of play.

Beautiful area

We loved the beauty of the course but it was quite difficult for us as we are new to golfing. The sloping fairways and large areas of rough made for a difficult game. But overall it was a very fun day.

Slow pace but overall fun

Super slow pace of play but the Marshalls were on it and tried there best to get groups playing. Had a great round with three other random players. Will be back one day to play again.

Decent Course for the Money

Fairways and tee boxes were a little rough on some holes, but the greens were good. I’d play this course again after it greens up.

DO NOT GO!!!!!!

My sister and I were riders while my brother in law and his friend played.
You won’t believe this… we were on the 9th hole and my sister and I had to use the restroom and get a snack. So, we drove to the END of the hole where the clubhouse was.
After coming outside, the Asian man that works in the pro shop said we are not allowed to be riding around in a golf cart (ON A GOLF COURSE WE PAID TO BE AT) without my sister’s husband standing right next to us. He then insulted us to his friends he was sitting with as we walked away saying, “they don’t even play golf.” We actually do play golf and for him to assume that because we are women is absolutely repulsive. He continued to hurl disrespectful comments under his breath as we left.
We are grown women and don’t need a man to babysit us as we drive 100ft to a clubhouse. We paid money to be there and even bought food from them, all to be mistreated.
He was degrading, disrespectful, and down right disgusting to the players. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY ON THIS COURSE!!!!! Choose a cleaner* more respectful* course so you can enjoy your round and get your $$ worth!
Not to mention the starter that was working was also incredibly rude interrupting my sister when she tried to talk. My family and I will NEVER go back.

Worst course I’ve ever played

The price they charge for this goat track is insane. 3hrs to play 9 holes. Paid for 18 but only played 9 because of the atrocious pace of play. This course is worth 25 bucks at most. Would never recommend to anyone else.

Pace of play?

Almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. Course was less than ideal conditions for $65 and we ended up leaving after 9. I’ve never experienced this slow of play and I have to assume it’s due to over booking.

Awful greens, awful pace

They pack the course in with as many golfers they can. Pace of play is always a joke. Greens were terribly slow and bumpy. Zero sand in the bunkers. The only reason I played here was because I wanted the BBQ lol. Course sucks and it’s not worth half of what they charge,
but people pay anyhow so won’t bother again. Good golfers don’t play here.

Pace of play

Played on a weekday at 1045. Took us over 7 hours to finish. Ranger drove by and said it’s “a little backed up.” We watched two groups tee off in front of us the entire back 9. They wouldn’t let us pass even with just two of us playing. Ruined the entire experience.

Pace of play

Course could be pretty fun but pace of play is a huge problem. So much so that it makes the round unenjoyable. Tee times 8 minutes apart. No one monitoring pace of play. There is no excuse to be backed up on every tee box. I have played here several times over the last month or two. Every time expressing concern to the clubhouse. Getting “thank you” as a response or a shoulder shrug. Used to be a fun course.

Don’t waste your money

Pace of Play the worst I’ve ever seen. Employee morale extremely poor. Soil erosion, scrub grass tee boxes, clay bunkers and poor design are just a few of the problems with this course. There are plenty of courses nearby to spend your money. Stay far away from this one. I can’t believe it’s still open.

Great Greens, Fair Fairways, not so much other

First time playing Apalachee since last Fall. The new driving range is great. Greens were reliable and in great condition. Tee boxes were very sparse of grass with lots of sand underneath. Fairways were generally OK but a number of water drainage/erosion issues. Bunkers are largely red clay mud holes. Staff is friendly and the brisket sandwich at the turn was most excellent.
