The Links at Echo Springs
Played On 07/30/2015Good value for the money
The course has a decent layout with a good variety of holes. The greens were smooth but very slow. The fairways are a little shaggy, and the traps are pretty firm. 4 sets of tees which are fair for all levels. We drove 40 mins to play this course, i probably wouldnt be back mainly for that reason. There are definately nicer courses closer and for a comparable price. I would play again if asked by a buddy, but wouldnt choose to play this course myself

One of the greatest golf courses in the country! I dont see how a course can get much better then this. Great views, fantastic conditions and superb greens. Everything about this course is 5 star! From the clubhouse, smooth carts, perfect course conditions and very challenging but fair layout, this course is worth a long car ride to play!

Played On 07/15/2015Very enjoyable
The round was very enjoyable! The course is absolutely gorgeous! It was pretty damp with all the rain, but carts were still allowed off the path. The course is very scenic and every hole presents a new challenge. Even with some extreme elevation changes, the holes play fair and are not what I would call "tricked up." I would compare it to a longaberger except a little shorter, less trouble, and not quite as prestine. Eventhough the course was busy, we didnt have to wait on a shot the entire round. The only downfall to this course is the clubhouse and parking lot, but who really cares. I played the back tees and my father played the whites. We both found the round to be worth the 40 minute trip and would definately be back!

Played On 07/08/2015A fun place to visit
My wife and I play golf depot a couple times a year because it is a few miles away from home. It is a great facility for hitting a bucket of balls, then playing the par 3 course. The par 3 course has 9 holes, and probably 6 of them would be challenging on any regulation golf course. Well worth the money, they now give you a cart, but the course is very walkable. Greens and course conditions are slightly above average, but definaltely good enough to play and have some fun while getting some good practice in.

Played On 06/09/2014Cant beat for the price
Great value for the price, which brings golfers of all skill levels to the course. The greens are in great shape, but it does seem like there were many unfixed divots and ball marks. I tried fixing as many as I could, but that became too much. Course is a tremendous layout. Landing areas are fair, and the holes are not tricked up at all. Large greens with many different possible hole locations that would change the entire strategy for the hole. Par 5s are all reachable in 2 for long hitters. I love the fact that there are no creeks or dog legs in the landing areas of the par 5s allowing for drivers off the tees. Fairways were in great shape, cut a little long (which I prefer over super tight fairways). Great mix of holes, requiring every club in the bag to be hit. The only complaint besides the ball markers on the greens were the bunkers. Seemed completely neglected. Either like hitting off a baseball infield, or way too much sand. No middle ground. I would pick up my ball, rake up whatever sand was there and place in the trap to come up with some type of fair lie. Played with my wife, who is new to the game, the ladies tees are very fair, and often times placed passed the trouble. Course does not require a lot of carry which is nice for the occasional worm burner that might sneak on the front of the green. This was great for my wife bc she is not a long hitter to begin with. Their are 5 or6 sets of tees, so anyone would be comfortable playing here. Staff was friendly and accomidating (as they always are). Really enjoy playing this course and look forward to coming back! (hopefully after the sand traps get some attention).
Glad to hear you and your wife had such a great experience kozl02. Hope to see you back soon at Cumberland Trail GC!
