I noticed the reviews and rebuttals from the course staff before I made my reservation but for $12 I decided to give it a whirl. I am a 5 handicap and shot 78 so my statements are not because "I was having a bad day". I understand that the course is coming back from financial issues so it will take some time and dedication by the golf staff (which appears to be happening).

Pace - Slow on front due to several elderly groups playing ahead
Layout - Outstanding with elevation changes and a creek dissecting holes on the back nine
Greens - Decent turf but slow...hole edges very jagged which is the norm for Bermuda greens so holes may not have been moved in a while
Fairways and Tees - Grass very sparse...yes I know the difference between no grass and dormant grass (see attached picture from middle of #13 fairway)
Traps - Maintained with good sand consistency
Facilities - Water and Bathrooms after 4 and 14 which my wife always appreciates!

Course maintenance is my top priority in recommending a course...perhaps in a year with a major grass growing effort this course could be what it once was.

I highly recommend this track to anyone. Quick greens, nice fairways, rolling hills.

The greens were some of best I have ever played on....fast and true. Grass had not greened up yet but the Donald Ross designed front side was very interesting. I will be back.

I had not played this course since it left the Carolina Trail so about 8 months ago. Though the traps now have sand and the overall mowing has improved the greens are slow and patchy in most areas kicking putts off line. I will not be back and would play one of the other former Carolina trail courses due to better green conditions.

Played Indigo Run from the tips at over 7000 yards. Several tee shots are through trees so driving accuracy is a must requiring using all areas of the tee box throughput the round. The course is well maintained. My wife played the forward tees and enjoyed the course as well. I would have given the course a 5 but the greens were slow.
