YCC is a good value

Have played this course many times and for the price it is a good value, the conditions fluctuate up and down, but overall the layout is challenging but not a long course. Greens are usually good, a few are in need of a replacement. Staff are friendly and getting a tee time is most times easy. Our group have this course in our regular rotation.

GCU Course is a good course to walk or ride a cart

First time playing GCU course, good layout with good mix of hole designs. Greens were rolling very good. pace of play was excellent until last 3 holes, then it slowed down a bit. Rate for out of towners is higher than expected for the quality of this course.

Short but challenging course

Overall the course layout is good, not really long but you need to carry to clear some doglegs. Greens are good with speed and some have severe undulations. Pace of play was good.

Good course for the rate

Was surprised by the quality of this course for the rate, good mix of holes to challenge your game. Greens were a little inconsistent but rolled good and would hold a solidly struck approach. For less than $40 this is a good course to play compared to other much higher priced courses in the area.

Nice course layout with good greens

First time playing here and was pleasantly surprised that for under $40 this was a good quality track. The tees, fairways and rough were a bit wet, balls were not rolling out, but most holes has good sight lines and ample room to land your tee shots. Greens were holding solid approach shots and they putted very good, greens had decent speed and the ball would track on your line. will definitely play this one again when I'm in the area.

Larkin is Fun Course to Play

Played on Friday in late January and nearly 60 degrees. Course was very wet, but in good shape all around. The greens were very good, fast and smooth. Pace of play was excellent, less than 3.5 hours

Lexington is challenging

Course was very wet from recent rains, but greens were very good condition. Course has a lot of undulation, with a number of uphill holes that will challenge your distance control on approaches. Rates are very good, staff are friendly..

Larkin has really changed

Started with a 2 hour frost delay, some confusion on the first tee once play was ready to go. Course was sloppy wet everywhere. Greens were very good given the condition of freezing temps and super wet conditions. Pace of play was excellent. Rates are a little high compared to other courses in the area. This is still a very good course, although they have built dozens of houses where there once were none, this has dramatically changed the look of the course, and not for the better. Not sure how much more I will play this course at $45, there are dozens of very good courses within 30-40 minutes of this one for sub $40 rates.

Good Course Good Rate

First time playing this course, the rate is very good and the staff are very friendly. The course is an interesting layout, a lot of doglegs and some blind shots. The overall condition is average, fairways are OK, rough is, well rough, bunkers are not very good, greens are good, receptive and roll reasonably well. Will play again now that I've seen the track, the rate makes this almost a must play. Sub $30 rate with cart is excellent.

Branson Hills is Awesome

First time playing this course, and all I can say is Wow! What a course, great layout, very challenging holes throughout front and back 9's and the greens are excellent, receptive, undulated and quite speedy. This is must play when in the Branson area. Play rates are high, but it is worth it.

Tillery great layout, greens need help

Love this courses layout, the topography is awesome and the mix of holes designs is very good. Was very disappointed in the greens, very slow, bumpy and in generally poor shape. If greens can be improved this will once again be a top rated must play course.

Very good layout and nice greens

First time playing Dubsdread, staff was very friendly and helpful. Rate was very good for weekend round. Course is not long, but with strong winds gusting to nearly 30 mph it was a good challenge. Pace of play was not good as we waited on every shot. Greens were quick, easy to knock it by 5-6 feet from outside 25 ft. Would definitely play again.

LBV - Good layout, very wet and long

We played LBV on a Tuesday late morning after the previous days rain. The course was very wet, every tee shot plugged or rolled out about a foot. Prior to every shot, the ball had mud on it and had to be cleaned. This slowed down play a little, but since we were waiting for two foursomes in front of us, this made for nearly a 5 hour round. The course is a nice layout with a good variety of holes both short and long. The greens were putting good, even with some sand on them. The overall wet conditions made the course play really long with no roll out and bump and run shots were not even possible around the greens. GN coupon still had round costs at nearly $70, a little high for the conditions and speed of play. Would like to play it when its dried out. Hospitality was very good (Disney, of course). Weather temps were very hot and humid, they had No roaming cart with drinks or snacks, only a table at turn, quite expensive (did I mention Disney?) drinks and snacks.

Soft Greens, good layout, fun to play

Overall course layout is very good, a good mix of holes. Water in play on a few holes and some minor elevation changes. Greens were very soft, which made putts a little slow, but putts could be holed. You could definitely fire at the hole and the ball would stop. Will definitely play again.

Great Layout with Undulating Holes & Greens

The greens had just been aerated, so putting was not what we expected. Course layout is very good, good mix of holes up-down, left to right and right to left. Several forced carries make distance control key to good scoring. Many greens have medium to large undulations that make placement of approach shots critical to avoid three putting. Will definitely play again once greens have healed.

Good layout, good greens

Pudding Ridge is a good course, not long, but a good mix of hole designs. There are several holes with elevation changes that make them challenging. The greens are good, consistent speeds and will hold approach shots. For late Feb the course was in decent shape overall.

Good course, Swamp like conditions

We played this course on a Friday, after an overnight rain and another shower just before our start. The course was nearly under water, of course cart path only. Every fairway was casual water which made for some really tough playing conditions. The greens were ok considering the weather, but several times had to move from casual water on greens. We were exhausted by the end of the round due to the conditions. Scoring was not what we were looking for.

Greens are Challenging

Mooresville is not a long course, but the greens make up for it. The speed and undulations make putting quite difficult, especially when your above the hole. The overall layout is good, with a mix of up hill, down hill, left to right and right to left hole shapes. Fairways and rough are only average. 17 & 18 are strong closing holes. Reasonable priced course worth a round with your friends.

Skybrook is challenging

Skybrook is a fun and challenging course to play. Most tees are elevated which give you a sense of power and potentially longer tee shots. The greens are large and undulated making approach shots critical to avoid 3 or 4 putting. Green speeds are fairly quick and above the hole is trouble, if you miss you will have a very long return. The closing holes 16-18 are very strong holes. Golfnow coupons can make this a good deal to play.
