It’s early spring, but...

Simply put, not worth full price in the shape it’s in.

Terrific Course

First time playing Hobbs Hole today. Great course with a terrific layout. Challenging for good golfers but fair enough for anyone to play. Course held up well from 6+ inches of rain this week. All in all, an absolute delight.

Old Hickory Golf Club

Unfortunately Poor

I have heard about Old Hickory for some time and very much looked forward to today’s round. Unfortunately, the course played incredibly slowly (nearly 5:30 with a five some in front of us and no ranger in site) and was in very poor shape. There was a wedding booked at the facility (in the middle of the pandemic) which shut the bar and grill area down for golfing patrons for the entire day.

The fairways were shaggy and overgrown. The greens were patchy with bare spots (blight?) and crab grass pushing through. The rough was unplayably thick in some spots and barren in others.

My foursome was told by the attendant that COVID caused the course to get away from them. But having played several courses of varied regard in the area over the past few months (including the RFM-managed Augustine, which was in great shape) Old Hickory was in decidedly worse shape than all of them.

Simply put, think twice before you choose to play Old Hickory. Hopefully they can get it back to something close to reputation in the coming months. It was an unfortunate disappointment today.

Great Layout, Conditioning Lacking

First time at Tiger’s Eye. Incredible layout. Fun visuals and very playable.

Was disappointed with the condition of such a highly touted course. The greens were slow and spoungy. A considerable amount of crabgrass in places it wasn’t expected. Not overwhelming, but unfortunately noticeable.

Staff was excellent.
