Great Time

Since it had rained couple days ago it would be unfair to rate the fairway conditions because of the weather. But nice to see the sand bunkers are all being taken care of. Enjoyed playing with a four some. Pace was ok. Ranger was out checking to make sure the pace was good. Could not finish the last hole due to some delays on some holes. But nice experience and very friendly staff.

Look forward tp playing in Spring now that the sand bunkers are also fixed along with cart paths. Always enjoy playing here.

Nice Challenging Course

Agreed with other reviews that cart paths were n terrible shape!! But the management has taken into consideration and have recently repaired most of the broken up cart paths that literally threw you out of your cart. Not only the cart paths have been fixed, the Greens have recently been repaired and painted to resemble some of the finer golf courses in the area. Now, if players can do their part and repair the ball marks on the Greens, this could be a fun course to play year round. There are many scenic holes and is a tough and challenging course compared to the surrounding Club Corp courses.

The sand bunkers were also being raked while I was playing but some of the bunkers and Tee boxes need attention. You can see the fabric on some of the bunkers. Not good. I say if the players repair their own ball marks and sand the divots and the management addresses the sand bunkers and Tee boxes, this could be one of the most sought after golf course.

This Course has Nice Potential

This course needs attention!! Players like to play here. I have seen Players who are members at other clubs who come and play here. The reason being, the course layout is challenging and tests the skills of low handicaps as well. There are so many scenic holes like number 1, 8, 14, 16, etc., nd the course length is par with some of the nicer PGA courses. So, to summarize, if the management can do something on some of the areas that need attention,, this could become a popular choice for many golfers.

The sand bunkers were just repaired pathetically. Seems like they hired a sand contractor and dumped the white sand into the bunkers. Some holes have more than twice the capacity of the sand, some still needs attention. No raking, leveling, etc. of any kind in the bunkers.

The cart paths... if they don't do something about this soon, someone is going to get hurt badly. It is a huge liability and management, please don't tell me no one warned you. Please fix this ASAP!! You will do yourself a favor.

Now, the Greens which used to be in nice shape is showing dry spots,, fungus, etc. It is sad to see that this course which has such a nice potential is going down the drain for lack of maintenance and attention.

Needs maintenance

Course has a lot of potential. But the management does not invest in the maintenance. The cart paths are awful and poses a huge threat and liability. Somebody is going to get hurt. The greens are rotted with dry patches.

Very bad pace of play. Greens are in terrible shape. Plus $80 per round. Give me a break!

Management is going down hill at this potentially great course. I think Club Corp should take over and invest some $$ and make this course a favorite again. The round I played yesterday was 5+ hours. You just get tired of waiting on every hole. Plus I have not seen the Greens rotted with dry spots on almost half of the Greens. Play somewhere else. Management doesn’t give a crap since the owner lives in Thailand.

Unless a new buyer comes, expect no improvement. Current local management is an embarrassment. Although the pro shop guys are very helpful, but they don’t have a say.

Nice course but Pace of Play was terrible

Pace of play needs improvement. It took us 4 hrs plus and we still couldn't play the last 4 holes. I suggest the group on 1st Tee should be off the green before letting any other group begin the play.

Nice overall course in the Atlanta area

Very nice course layout. Very good maintenance. Good overall. Love to play here. Be careful of snakes when looking for your ball in the woods. Always carry a club. Spotted two small snakes today.

Nice course but needs work

The maintenance needs some work. The Greens are showing signs of decay and dry spots that have not been addressed, The sand bunkers are awful. On some sand bunkers they just dropped new sand but no raking. Come on!! Really?? The the awful and dreaded cart paths. It is going to break somebody's back. Management please pay attention and do something. The course layout is nice.

Nice Public Course in the Roanoke Area

This is one of the better public courses in the area. Stay away from Ashley Plantation. You will love the course.

We had a group of 12 golfers who played here, Pete Dye River Course and Ashley Plantation. Almost all of us agreed this was by far the better of all the above courses. Yes, including Pete Dye. Pete Dye is hyped up. Nothing charming. Yes the clubhouse sits above 100 feet, but the roughs are brutal with dry patches.

Good Course

The course is good but the roughs are brutal. The fairways and greens are narrow. The course is not to par with the hype made on the reviews. I think Hanging Rock was more enjoyable for our group of 12 golfers who played these courses over the past weekend.

Nice course but needs work

Nice layout of fairways. Tee boxes in great shape. Fairways in good condition. Sand bunkers are being repaired. Just not raked. Very scenic holes and fairly challenging holes. I hope the cart paths be addressed as soon as sand bunkers are repaired.

It's a nice course with little rooms from improvement. Pace of play can be an issue. Don't know why the Starter don't give 10-15 minutes between groups. Good to see sand bunkers are being repaired. I hope the next thing addressed will be the cart paths.

Nice Course but needs work

Very nice scenic holes on some of the fairways. Greens were nice. Some of the Tee boxes need repair. sand bunkers were being fixed (yeah!!). I hope they soon address the cart paths.

Pace of play could be better if the starter paced out groups after 12-15 minutes. The course layout is fabulous.

Nice Course but needs work

Sand bunkers have not been addressed. You can see the fabric coming up. Duck poops are at many greens. The TEE boxes have ben repaired. fairways are nice and many holes are scenic.

Sand bunkers and some portion of cart paths needs addressing. Otherwise a very good layout of course. Some challenging holes too.

Nice course with scenic layout. Many holes around the water. Bring extra balls. The only downside is the cafeteria was closed so no free snacks, beverages or energy bars. Other than that very nice course. will play again.

Thank you for your review. The grill area was closed in response to State guidelines however it is now back open. Social distancing and hourly sanitizing practices are implemented.

Come on back soon to try Nathan's famous hot dogs, blimpie sandwiches and the rest all included in your round fee.

Good Course

Course is overall in good shape. The problem here are the Cart Paths. They have broken out some flagrant concrete boulders but there are still many places where if you don't pay attention you can get hurt. No beverage cart even though the course was full. Greens need mowing. They were slow. Nice undulation on some greens.

Nice course but very bad cart paths

Course layout is great, Tee boxes have been repaired recently. Greens are sanded recently. But the biggest problem is the awful cart path. It can break your back if you are not paying attention.

There are nice scenic holes with deers popping up on hole 15. Pace of play was OK. Took 4 plus hours to finish.
