Average People Playing

Everything was good from drop off of clubs to playing our round. First the starter was great, it was nice to hear him say don't tee off until group in front is walking off green. we didn't wait on a hole until number 17, but i think the group in front was playing for money and they went off green to spot and chipped to hole. Tee boxes were in great condition, there was 2 or 3 greens that need some help, but pins were in area that was good. We played the week in front of the Candler Open Will play after to see if course stays up to Par. As far as the Price they wanted 95 dollars plus tax book through pro shop. I booked it on line and got it for 65 dollars. This golf course is a 65 to 75 dollars It took us 4 hours 15 minutes to play ( Awesome )

Better values elsewhere

I caught the hot deal for $55. The course was in outstanding shape, from tee to greens. The fairways were plush. Last year they got a little thin. Nice thick (dense) turf this year
though. As much as I enjoy this course. It's just not worth $50 +. I guess this time of year you can get 80-$90 to fill up the daily t-sheet. But other than being in pristine shape. The course just isn't worth the 💰. I'll be back though.

Nice greens, unfair pins

Very nice course with fast greens. Round was somewhat ruined by several unfair pin placements. About 14 of 18 pins were tucked in inaccessible corners with several placed on the side of a slope where ball would not stop within 10 feet of pin. Really not necessary with greens this good and fast. Also, starter was pretty dour.

Green conditions

The first hole was an indication of how the course would be. It was like an orange peel surface magnified. Fairways were so so with sparse grass
