Great golf course with outstanding conditions

First time playing this golf course. I looked on line to find a list of the top public golf courses in the Nashville area and this was in the top 5. This course was in GREAT SHAPE! I’m a snob when it comes to greens at golf courses as I feel this area is one that makes or breaks a golf course. You need to have greens that are in great shape and gives the player the opportunity to get up and down which bad greens makes that task much more difficult to accomplish. The greens here were GREAT! Fast and roll so true! Hats off to the superintendent for keeping the conditions in this type of condition. As a player, courses that are kept up like this course make playing here so enjoyable. Although the price is a little bit higher than other local courses, to me it’s worth the little extra cost to play conditions this good! I will be back when in town again for sure! Great course layout and great conditions = great golfing! Thank you to all the workers at this course! Keep up the great job!

Average at best

I decided to play at this course from reading reviews online. I was completely disappointed in the cost of this course compared to the conditions that this course currently has. The layout is very nice but the greens were average at best and the bunkers have a little sand and need some attention. I expected better conditions for the price this course charges.

Great golf course with great challenges

This golf course is a little off the main roads but what a course. Original 18 holes are rather hilly and when it rains the course doesn’t drain great. Cart path only for sure after heavy rains. Tough course to walk when cart path only rules apply. The new 9 holes is more open and not as hilly. Great course that I would highly recommend playing

Nice local course

This course has made many improvements over the last few years. Most are great improvements. They need a few more to get this course to the 5 stars it can be. The two areas that need immediate improvements are the drainage, bunkers, and cart paths. I know it’s a process in getting courses improved and they have done a great job with cutting down trees and getting the tee boxes and greens in great conditions. The drainage is a real problem here though. If we get any rain the course stays wet for days. This needs to be improved for sure. Great layout and fun to play.

Course needs work

The greens were punched on the 2nd of June and they have a long way to come. Bumpy and slow and many greens have some bare spots and patch work done. For a course that redid their greens not to long ago I’ was pretty disappointed. The fairways and tees were pretty good as well as the bunkers but they need some serious work done on the greens. The cart paths continue to get worse and should be fixed. I know they are expensive but they are pretty bad. If I didn’t get a hot deal from golf now I would not have been happy paying full price for this quality of course. It’s too bad so many public golf courses are not maintained well anymore. With all the golfers the pandemic has brought out and the money coming in they should spend it more on the course conditions.

Horrible Greens

What a disappointment playing this course today. This course redid their greens a few years ago so I expected the greens to be good. I was shocked. These greens are horrible. Some are just ok while others have many areas throughout the green that are missing grass and cause the ball to jump all over the place. These conditions are not the cause of aeration. They plan on doing that in June. The pro shop should inform golfers these conditions before collecting the $42.00 to play here. $42.00 is pretty steep for these kind of conditions. Hopefully they can turn these greens around but I for one will not be back until then.

Nice course with better than average conditions

Enjoyed this round on Easter Sunday. The head pro is a great guy and very helpful and wants everyone to have a great time. Course is in really good shape . Some areas are wet still but the course is much drier than it has been. I got a hole in one on hole #2 which was the highlight of my round!

The nicest golf course in Atlanta

This golf course is a true gem. The golf course conditions were the best I have played in the Atlanta area. The course layout is beautiful and the staff was very welcoming and pleasant. I will definitely be coming back to this course again.

$50.00 for this course? Are you kidding me???

We the course layout is very nice. The fairways were in really good shape and that’s about all when it comes to course conditions. The greens are horrible! If you think this course is worth $50 on the weekends you are crazy.,the course needs to have someone that knows how to rebuild greens and redo them. This course location along Lake Murray is to good to have a course have greens this pitiful. The course should look for a new course superintendent or give the guy the money to fix the greens. Learn something from a course like Golden Hills, or Cobblestone. Now those courses have greens that would justify charging $50 a round. When the greens get redone then I’ll be back. Until then I suggest spending your money someplace worth it!

Great course conditions all around

This course has come full circle from a few years ago. Since being under new ownership and putting a lot of money into improvements in the course which includes new greens, improved fairways and tee boxes, new sod in areas that needed it, and cart path repairs. These things have brought this course back to a course that should be played by golfers of all level. The course is a tough course that requires all types of shots and putting that requires you to hit the greens in the right spots to score. The greens roll true at pretty quick speed. The pro shop staff is GREAT! Very welcoming. Go enjoy yourself and have fun.

Awesome Course Conditions

Wow, this course has come a long way from a year ago. Big thanks to the golf course maintenance staff and the owner for putting a lot of money and hard work into all these wonderful and much needed improvements. This golf course has turned into one of the best public courses in the Columbia area. The greens and fairways are so good and the rough has grown nicely and is a true penalty if you miss the fairway. This is how golf was designed to be played. Well done! The bunkers are pretty good but some need some additional sand added as the bunkers liners are showing in areas. Hopefully the maintenance staff will address these areas soon. My only complaint is the golf course let a foursome tee off the back nine and when my group made the turn we caught them at hole 14 and they totally slowed our tempo and pace of play. That shouldn’t happen. I also hear they allow 5somes out at times. That’s not good either as it backs up the course and makes for a frustrating day. Hopefully they will stop allowing this practice. Overall I’m extremely pleased with the transformation of this course and will be back often as well as recommending this course to my fellow golfing friends!

The golf course conditions were pretty good. The greens roll true but are a bit slower than I’m used to here. Overall the day was good

Happy Course is back!

I have been playing this course for several years and I can now fully recommend this course to all my friends and family. This course was once a premium course but sadly went down hill quickly. The conditions were horrible and wasn’t getting better. Well under new ownership and lots of money put into the courses maintenance which included new greens, tree trimming, new cart path areas and irrigation and fairway improvements this course is Back!!! Awesome job to the new owner and his staff including all the maintenance people along with Greg McBride in the club house. This now is a great value and a course that is fun to play. My only negative comment would be this course continues to allow 5 somes out on the course and really makes it slow play. The starter won’t do anything as most of the 5 somes come from members or groups that play in their local Dog fights. This shouldn’t be allowed and I hope management will listen and stop this process from happening.

The Spur is BACK!!!

I have played this course many times from 2000 until now. The course lost their greens and the conditions needed much improvement which required a huge investment in dollars and hard work. The course did that by having their greens redone along with improvements in the rough, fairways, and areas around the club house. I can tell you that what the staff has done is unbelievable! This course is top notch now. If you have a problem of paying their normal green fees of $32 on the weekdays and $42 on the weekends then go play somewhere else that has crappy conditions. This place has improved so much that the increase in green fees is well justified. The course is still completing other minor improvements which will only make this the course to play in Columbia. Hats off to the guys that work maintenance and to Greg McBride who has put his sweat and tears into this course that means so much to him! I highly recommend this golf course once again. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.

Average conditions

I like this course layout. The course is normally in great shape. The greens were not cut the day I played as they were fuzzy and slow. Some greens had bare spots around the green edges but overall the greens looked nice. I would have enjoyed my round more if the greens were cut and the speed of play was faster. 5 1/2 hours is too long. This is a big reason milenials don’t play as they won’t allocate that much time to play.

Pleasantly surprised!

My first time playing here since new owners took over the course. Course used to be in horrible shape and you could tell no money was being invested back into it. Well that has all changed. Hats off to the new owner and his belief that if you build a better course with great conditions the golfers will come. I'm glad I came out to play here again. Really run layout and the greens rolled great. Looks like they are still cleaning up some damage done by the recent flooding that took place but I bet they have that all cleaned up by summer time. Great rates on golf now which I was happy to see. I will be back for sure real soon!!

Worst conditions ever

I have played golf here off and on for over 16 years. This course is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. The greens are awful and are like a lot of fairways at very nice courses. The bunkers are terrible. Cloth coming though low laying sand areas in the bunkers. Just terrible. Looks like the owner and management don't care about maintaince. Don't waste your time or money at this place.
