Excellent Southside track

Just moved down here and played Gold because it was said to me more scenic & challenging. It was. Good choice! Course was in really good shape. Pace of play was good. We let a pair of twosomes through because we were golfing with a newbie. Pro Shop staff was super accommodating & friendly. Ranger came down on us because we were a little slow. Told him we have let two twosomes play through so he backed off. 19th hole was nothing spectacular but doable. I plan on making this a must stop again!

Beautiful Course

Green Gardens has come a long way in the last few years. The course is in great shape all around including rough, fairways, and greens. The Gold course is more challenging than Blue, but the layout is more fun and scenic. It is a hilly course and the greens are true and consistent. Can't beat the twilight rate! I will be back this year more than once.

Can't Complain

Course was in great shape. Only thing is it was a weekend so was kind of busy and pace was a bit slow. But other than that, would definitely go back and play again.

Nice Course, Excellent Shape

The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Pace of play was good. The course is tougher than it appears. Especially the par 5s. It was pretty windy out so it made the course even more challenging. Would definitely play it again. Only complaint is the cart paths: Lots of potholes and tree roots growing underneath. Make sure your drink has a cover on it!

Pace of ply

Pace of play was almost as bad as Cinder Ridge. If your local you know how rough that is!! I golf Green Gardens a lot, I am hoping this doesn’t become the norm.

Great course

Was surprised that some changes were made at the course. The gold course 1st hole has been switched to the Emerald 1st tee, and the Emerald tee was switched to the Gold 1st tee. Other than that, the rest is the same. Pace of play was good, and the course was in good shape.

Beware

BEWARE!!! Place is a money grab!!! Green Garden has been my home course for multiple years. Staff was always decent but it has fallen off the edge. First, I must say that the high school cart kids and starters are the nicest people in the world but the ownership and driving range attendants are awful. Was at the chipping green before a tee time and was kicked off because I was “abusing the course” for not buying a small bucket of balls. I was already paying for a tee time so they are just trying to get me to buy more so I can use the “free” chipping green and putting green. People inside are not friendly at all and seem like they think the world is against them. Truly feel sorry for them. Tee times are overpriced and cart path is a mess. Potholes galore. Oh also. They love to cancel tee times booked online so make sure you check your emails for random cancellations :) I recommend spending your well earned money at Sanctuary, Cog Hill, Prairie Bluff or Heritage Bluffs
