Food was great! Course is not for everyone....

Going in, I was excited about playing this course. It had been some years and it used to be semi-private and run by Cannongate/Clubcorp. Not anymore.

Amenities:

Clubhouse was closed due to a pipe bursting in December. Not a ding on the course for that. They had a grill going outside so I grabbed something before the round. Good food and a fair price. What is nice about the course is that the pro shop, golf range, and putting green were right there together. You just load up your cart and don't have to move it until your tee time. I liked that a lot. The practice area included a sand trap which is a rare find as well.

Course Layout / Condition

Not much good to say here... I know we have had a lot of rain so the conditions are not going to be good in March but,.... The layout is definitely NOT for everyone.

I am not a long hitter by any stretch but I did not touch a wood until hole #9. Hitting 7-8 iron off of the tee (even for par 5's) is not my idea of fun. Couple this with wet conditions it makes for a very long day.

Tee boxes were VERY furry an overgrown
Sand traps had NO sand in them
Farming grass from tee boxes.... Not good.
Apron of green hard red clay.. Ball could bounce anywhere

I just feel given this condition/course layout it should be priced lower.. I would be interested in knowing how the reception of the layout was in the "glory days" of opening.

Great Course

It is rare to play a course that you have never played and find that you thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked this course! Greens were perfect along with the fairways and tee boxes. The only bad thing is that it is a LONG way away in Rome GA. It is a GREAT destination if you want to get out of the city and decompress. Highly Recommended!!

Got to do better

I really wanted this course to be good. Used to play here a lot but cannot justify it after this outing. Tee boxes have NO grass on them. Greens were in OK shape. Various species of grass in the fairway, most of it qualifies as weeds.

On the plus side they have built a great clubhouse for the community. Hopefully they can put some funding into the course.

Not Great But....

I am not going to bash this course. It was placed under a golf management company 6 months ago. The staff was friendly and I actually felt sorry for them because they are having difficulty generating traffic to the course. Less traffic=less revenue for improvements. That being said the property condition was known when you took over management.

On the bright side, the greens were in good shape.
