South/West at Fellows Creek Golf Course

This was my second time playing Fellows Creek. Played it last year with a buddy and really enjoyed it. We had an early bird tee time, and we were sent off to play the east and south nines. Had a very good experience. So good that when I had a free Saturday morning I set up the first tee time of the day on Golf Now, and was excited about playing a fast paced round as a single.

I was even more excited when I was told east and south again. While I would have been okay with playing the west for the first time, I was thrilled to play the same two with some knowledge under my belt. I was one under through five, with back to back birdies on 4 and 5. I stumbled a bit on 6 and 7, but righted the ship. (Six and I don't get along.) Two over going into nine, I ended up at three over. Then... I ended.

Unlike the previous time when my buddy and I made a smooth transition at the turn to start the south nine, I was staring at three foursomes now in front of me. One driving down the fairway to their tee shots, one on the tee, and a third group warming up behind them. I'd played the first nine in an hour and ten minutes. Suddenly I'm looking at the prospect of a three hour back nine. The idea of rushing to play through groups in front of me was unpleasant. With three nines, I have no idea how they don't take into account groups making the turn. There's no excuse to have that many people at a tee to start a round, and there were two foursomes starting the east nine. One on the tee and one on deck. I was so disgusted I did something I've only done two other times in the 50 years I've been playing golf (I started when I was 8). I packed it up and walked off the course. I didn't even go in and ask for a rain check. No matter how nice the course is, I can't accept a five hour plus round when I teed off at 6 in the morning. I won't be back.

Layout is good. Played east/south. Challenging holes. Not terribly long. Fast greens. Course is great condition. Play here. You will enjoy it!

The employees in the club house were great. Overall, 9.75/10 experience. What a day!

Great course, well maintained with some tough holes. Great Fun

A little snow on the course in shady spots. Perfectly sunny day in the upper 50’s. So glad to be golfing! The staff were happy and friendly. The greens a little bumpy due to the aerating from last fall. All in all a fun afternoon!

If i pay for twilight i should be able to use the cart until the sun is down.

Everything is in good condition. Pace of play a bit slow but still had a pleasant evening

Early in the year, the course was in okay shape. Average course overall, nothing special but nice enough for almost any event. The only issue I had today was when I checked in the front desk told me to go from East to South course. Normally I think nothing of this and go where they tell us, I don’t want to mess up a league or anything. But when we pulled up to the East, there were three groups on the first hole while the South had nobody in sight. I made an executive decision to play the South course first, thinking worst case scenario there’s a league that shows up and we play the South course again. No such thing happened, we got done with the South course and started on the East. Never ran into another group. If we had followed the front desks guidance the round would have taken us well over 4 hours with 2 golfers. Our way took us just under 3. I suppose I expect the people running courses to have this stuff mapped out better.

Wife and I played here first time. Course was very interesting.....nice combo of hills, wooos, water.
Greens not fast but generally smooth and rolled true.
Will likely return again!
