Wow - excellent value and great greens

Showed up as a single without a tee time on a Sunday morning at 7:15. Lots of players lined up on the tee box, but Tom in the pro shop quickly assessed the situation and paired me with a threesome on the tee box. The course is mostly straight holes and has deep rough. The greens were excellent and the course was a lot of fun to play. Done in 3 1/2 hours and beat the rain for only $18. Best value in the area - those greens are as good as courses charging 2-3 times as much. Will definitely be back - great staff, old school Donald Ross course, good course conditions with excellent greens, and an unbelievable price on a Sunday morning. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Really rough condition

Course is in awful condition. Bare fairways and slow patchy greens. Nice ladies in pro shop. Members not very friendly - won't go back.

Good experience

Course was in good shape overall. Fairways were a little patchy in a few places but greens were very good. Paved cart paths and newer gas carts. Range balls were pretty worn out but to me that is fine. Nice staff and fun course - will play again.

Poor maintenance

Greens were smooth but fairly slow and that was the highlight. Weeds everywhere and the rough hasn't been cut in a long time. If your ball rolls off of the fairway it is probably lost. Tee boxes had grass an inch and half tall so regular tees weren't long enough for a driver. Several holes didn't even have a blue tee marker. Pace of play was excellent as there was almost no one there. Decent layout and nice staff but the lack of basic maintenance ruins it. Bare bones clubhouse and no driving range. Could be a nice place with proper maintenance.

Great greens

Nice place. Wide open course with little sand and some water. #11 is a poorly designed par 5 that is the only bad hole. Can only hit it about 160-170 off of tee - I would have screwed it up if I wasn't with locals. Carts have GPS but course has few yardage markers otherwise. I would play it again in a minute though.

Great conditions, fast smooth greens

Nice track every time I come no matter the season. Today the pins were in tough spots and the greens rolled fast and true. One of my playing partners 4 putted from 15 feet - it was very challenging despite the courses short length (6000 from back tees). Will play again for sure

Hidden gem no matter who you are

Great track and don't let the yardage from the back tees fool you. You better hit it straight and leave the driver in the bag on several holes. Great condition, smooth greens - paid $10 and played in 2 hours as a single at noon on a Sunday. Will definitely be back

Very happy with my day at AR

Booked a last minute one spot left tee time at 3:15 for only $10. Got to the course at 2:45 and there were people and carts everywhere. There is a weekly outing for a local group of about 40 at, you guessed it, 3:15. Pro shop guy said there must have been a mistake but they would take care of me. They were awesome - one guy unsuccessfully tried to find a group already out on the course I could join, and the pro shop guy was calling the on course maintenance staff asking where there was an open spot on the course. I was treated like an important member - not a GolfNow player there on a discount. Despite their efforts, I ended up teeing off alone and once the outing quit after nine holes it was clear sailing. Course is in excellent shape - better than almost every local course in its price range. Give this place a try - it is a great deal at any GolfNow price. I will be back often after how I was treated on Thursday afternoon - hats off to the staff.

Great day - good conditions

Saw some bad reviews but was very pleased with the conditions. Fairways are nice, greens in good shape, and the rough is exactly that - rough. Very thick and you can easily lose balls if you do not pay attention. Great value for the price on GolfNow.

Greens punched about two weeks ago - course will be perfect in another week or two. Fairways are the best I've seen recently.

Nice place

Good course in pretty good condition. Better than most courses in same price range. Senior community and course is 6000 yards from back tee but is still a good challenge. Will go back.

Great old school course

Feels like a course in the northeast - tree lined fairways and smaller greens. Not long - only 6450 from the back tees - but you better hit it straight. Some course maintenance going on but it was still in good shape. Try this one.

Needs work

Decent course but needs some work. Greens are a mess with coarse grass in many of them. I understand they are closing for the summer to renovate - it is a good layout and if the conditions improve it will be a winner.

Neat track

Course is in pretty good shape - greens in good shape and roll true, but there are some bare areas around the cart paths and fairways. Great deal on GolfNow - got paired with a nice couple and had a good day. Not what you would expect in a senior community - plenty of golf course from the back tee for lower handicappers.

More golf course than it appears

This course is listed as only about 4100 yards from the tips, but with 10 par threes the course is actually a challenge for a lower handicapper. Very little sand or water, but when the length of most of the par threes (150-170, with one playing 190) and the small greens are accounted for it is a nice test. A little rough around the edges with dirt paths and gas carts, but I really like this place. Played 18 in an hour and a half by myself at 5:30 PM on a Friday. Give it a try.

Nice layout

Decent course -fairways a little thin but greens were in very good condition and quick. Plenty of course from the back tees even for low handicapper. Front nine is fabulous as it goes through the woods and you can't see any other holes. A good no frills golf course especially at GolfNow deals.
