Poor condition

Most tee boxes moved up or over to grass. They didn’t even try to make them level.

Greens had been punched and they didn’t disclose that.

But did make sure to tell you cart path only.

Fairways are trash

Great course but the fairways need water so bad it’s like playing off concrete

Nice course!

Played here quite a while ago and decided to visit before heading to Fairfield Glade. Glad I chose to play here as it was a nice test with the elevation changes. Will definitely go back!

Can't beat a hot deal for 10$ a player

The course is challenging but fun. The hardest part is getting use to the super slow greens. I really never got use to the slow greens. I think they just need mowed a bit shorter. Other than that they were in great shape.

Nice course!

The course was in great condition. The greens would have been very good if people would just take the time to repair the ball marks! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

Challenging course with big penalties for not being in the fairway. Very nice, typical state park layout. Mostly rolling hills with challenging lies.

Love it

Barren feels like my home course. Plenty of challenge, beautiful views of the lake, back 9 is newer than the original 9 holes and will test your meddle. We play regularly using the Hot Deals and it is IMO the best golf value in the region

NEED TO LOWER ROUGH RIGHT OFF THE FAIRWAY

Rough right off fairway needs to be cut. Losing some greens.
