Inner city course still a good value

Nice course and even better value with GN hot deal on a Sunday afternoon. Greens and fairways in excellent conditions, tee boxes and sand traps need a little work. Nice layout, not any great views, but considering history of course recommend adding to the play list.

great value / great round

Was looking for course to play in Greensboro area on short notice and GN had hot deal for 10.00 Booked it as soon as I saw it, and little did I know what a great deal this was. Forest Oaks is former host of GGO until it moved to Wyndham and course is not as it used to be, but I loved the layout. Greens and fairways in great shape, bunkers needed a little work. Played as a trwosome and had no wait until caught a foursome around 15 but still finished in 4 hours. Overall - a great day - thanks GN!

Always a good experience

Course is in great shape although the greens were not as fast as I had remembered - not sure if this is by design because they are normally extremely fast and difficult.

Overall would recommend anyone to play the course as the scenery is nice and the layout and conditions are worth the trip.

A good week day course

Not a long course / fairways in good shape / greens average / tee boxes and bunkers need work but a good course for locals to enjoy and even better if you get a hot deal from GN.

Rock hard greens

Great course if you are travelling the Maine Coast Route 1 to points down east. (about 6-7 miles off the route) Excellent conditions from tee to green, although bunkers need some work. Fairways and greens extremely hard so take 10 - 15 yards off your distance to allow for additional roll.

Lay out a little quirky - back nine starts with 2 par 3s and then ends with a par 3. Good scenery and friendly staff. Would definitely paly again.

Better than expectations

Played this course a day after heavy rains and course was surprisingly in good shape with exception of the fairway and greenside bunkers which need to be completely reworked.

Fairways and greens were in excellent shape, tee boxes a little tore up. Played from the whites which is only 5800 yds, but this course always plays more difficult than its length might indicate.

Overall would play course again, but not on daily fee schedule, where better value can be found elsewhere. Thanks golfnow for the 24.00 hot deal!

Shot makers course

Course conditions exceeded my expectations - fairways and greens in very good condition. Problem with this course and will always be until it is addressed is there is no forgiveness for errant shots which makes your average 18 handicap golfer not willing to play here regularly. Also, the 13th or 14th (the one that runs next to the ICC) needs to be completely redone.

Bottom line - GN gave me a great deal and if you can hit it straight, you will enjoy your round - I enjoyed 75 percent :)

Tanglewood

Nice layout and overall good course to play / fairways in the best of shape / greens need work as there are some weeds that are growing on the greens / lots of bunkers, but sand traps lack consistency / tee boxes could be in better shape considering resources available to keep it up / course is labelled as "Championship", but right now I would put it closer to "amateurism".

Good course / great value

Nice layout around developing neighborhood - tight fairways but every hole different. Tough to tell yardage on some holes. Recommend if you are in the area to play as it is very easy t get to just off RT 40.

Hot deal

Great conditions from tee boxes to greens. Challenging layout, but fun course to play with lot of elevation changes and great views of the surrounding foothills. Great deal from golfnow, but would not play this course for a daily fee above $50.00.

Only complaint is I was to be part of a threesome, but the other 2 teed of 45 min earlier, so played as a single. Staff should be more accommodating so golfers do not have to go out in the middle of the day as a single..

Humbling experieince

If you think you are on your game - then you might be ready to play this course. It is a course requiring carries over most every hole, whether it be off the tee or approaching the green. Add in narrow fairways and difficult greens and you will finish your round happy to break 90. Back 9 still has a lot of housing construction, but in a year or two they should blend into the background. Only complaint besides the difficulty of the course is mgmt needs to get some divot mix on the carts as there are divots all over the fairways.

Always worth the trip

Make the trip from Baltimore area once a year to play this course, and as expected conditions of the course were excellent. Played as a foursome, no wait on any tees, and played in 4.25 hours. Only criticism is to better mark yardages, but I would recommend anyone in the W/B area to make the trip for the views and the excellent conditions.

Loved the course - challenging yet unique for every hole and the view of the surrounding landscape was appealing from every hole.

Great conditioned course and great value

Played on a wet Wednesday afternoon, so my expectations were not all that great - but low and behold the sun came out after the 3rd hole, and seeing that the weather had kept most others off the course we finished in less than 4 hours. The course is in great shape from tee to green, and with the amount of rain it was not really too bad on the fairways with standing water or poor drainage. Overall - great value and nice layout - would definitely play again.

Course well laid out and enjoyable to play.

Greens recently aerated but should be in great shape in about 2 weeks. Windy on day we played so course conditions more challenging. Course overall in pretty good shape and good value for booking through web page.

Great course for great price

Great deal from golf now - paid 35 + processing fee so well worth the trip. Play this course only once per year, and this year the course was in conditions expected for high end priced course. From tee box to green course in excellent shape - recommend play for anyone if you can get discounted green fees.
