Good value for the money

I like the course layout. Holes are challenging. The only issue is the course has some low lying areas. The previous rains have made the sand bunkers into dirt. Signature hole 8 has large area that is in need of repair. Greens didnt seem to roll as fast as previous trips. Glad to see the ranger making his rounds to keep slow play at bay.

Great track

Despite all rhe rain the area has had. Drainage was good, fairways weren't plugging. Kept greens from rolling like they normally do. Little bit slower with less breaks.

Always a great place to play

Golfing near the end of Nov is always a plus in the midwest. The course was in great shape. Greens where a little shaggy compared to the rest of the season but rolled good.

Excellent course

The course is layed out well with risk and reward holes. Starts off with a par 5 and ends that way. Some holes you have to lay up for the 2nd shots in. The course is was in excellent shape.

Good track

It was early morning and the course was in great shape. Greens were running slower than normal. Causing you to add some tempo to the putt. Pace of play was great considering we played between 2 permanent tee times. Course is straight forward and pin placement was like tournament play. Par 3 12th hole from the blues was 228 with a tree in line with the flag. Forced you to hit a high draw or lay short and chip up.

This is a risk/reward course

Being from Chicago and playing in Ga was different. The course has the Private feeling with public access. The course was in great shape considering the time of year is was. The fairway grass is different from Chicago but rolled good and hitting off of it took a few holes to get us to. The course layout is great. Not a lot of blind shots. The risk is you have to be straight off the tee due to some of the landing zones. The reward is hitting the greens when in the fairway. Each hole is based off PGA tour holes. 2 Island par three's we fun to play.

Snails pace

Book a 10 am tee time. Got off fine but after the 1st 2 holes the course seemed like it came to a halt. On average we waited on every tee box. Made the pace of play extremely slow. In fact the finishing hole we waited 5 mins to tee off and another 5 for 2nd shot. the guy we played with left before the 18th due to this. When we finished the rangers where talking about how off pace some 4some where. Normally the course is played at pace.

Seen fields in better shape

I think they need to invest in weed and feed and a mower. You could tell where the fairways went due to the height of the weeds in the fairways. Matched the rough. Poor conditions for the price.

Can be intimidating

Being a 12 handicap this course always presents a challenge. Hole 2 can be reached in 2 if you stay left on the fairway. Hole 4 narrow fairway with water on the right and O/B left. Best to hit a high iron straight. 7th hole keep left to hit green in 2. 10th hole- Water about 250 out and also to the left.
The course was in good shape considering the rain we had during the week. Greens ran good, but hard to read breaks.
For the money its always fun. We hit it several times a year. This round was to practice for the annual Spring Fling they hold every year.

Bring you A game

This was the 1st time playing this course. It was a challenge to say the least. To start off the 1st 3 holes are somewhat open. than the fun begins. 4 is a tight fairway, 5 is an awesome par 3 that you have to be dialed in on distance, 6 is a par 5 that the green is hidden behind a hill if approaching from the left. best stay right. 7-8 are open, 9 has water to carry. the back 9 play's the same way. 14 with its island green is tough. So to sum up the course. Tight fairways, excellent greens, If you draw the ball be careful off the tee, trees get in the way. Would play again now that i know what to expect.

Avg course

We played this course earlier in the year. This time the course wasn't in the best of shape. The course is avg for the price. Fairways where in good shape. the greens where cut down and had a lot of bumps as you where putting from previous divots and spots where they cut too deep. it probably hasn't help with the rain we have been getting. If the price was a little bit less would give it more of a rating. Fairways are open so keeping it play is good. Fairway rough is cut down so its easier to find your ball if you stray right or left. Overall will wait for the season to wind down before playing it again.

Great layout with tough greens

We played Sunday/ Labor day weekend. The fog hampered the 1st 6 holes. Shooting blind. Once the fog lifted the course was beautiful. The greens run fast and the pin placement made for challenging reads. Fairway off shots are forgiving on most of the holes if your off to the left or right. Overall i would play it again, In fact they offer a 2nd time around for 30 dollars.

The course was in great condition

Played this course several times and its well worth the money paid. Challenging put open so when your drive goes off line you can still reach the green without hurting your score. New addition this year was GPS carts. Accurate and when approaching the Bridges it slows you down.

For the price this course is a challenge

The course starts off with an island green that was a fun challenge. The greens were fast and pin placement made it challenging. The fairways where in great shape. On some holes the fairways where narrow so make sure to hit them straight.
