Disappointment is an understatement. I should have known when the weather was perfect and the parking lot was empty that the course would have trouble. One of the staffers told me the owners are in bankruptcy so they aren't spending money on the course. It shows. The good thing is pace of play was great because no one else was there! I don't know where to start. The moon presents a flatter putting surface than most of these greens. Some of them are half-covered in sand. There were leaves in several areas of the course. My calendar says July but there were leaves because the trees are dying. The fairways were mowed but if you missed 6 inches you were never going to find your ball in the un-cut bermuda. Even just right off the green the grass wasn't cut. There are hundreds of bunkers on this course, none of them appear to have been raked since the Bush administration. This course is full of potential with a challenging layout but it's not worth your money to go here right now.

I like the layout of this course, but it always plays slower than it should. We played on a weekday (Thursday) and by the time we got to number 5 there were 2 foursomes waiting on the tee box. And remember this was not Saturday or Sunday, this was Thursday. I have played there lots and never seen a marshall on the course even on Saturday rounds. The other issue is the rough's are poorly kept. The cerdar trees are nice but if you hit into them, most of the time you can't even go in there to look for your ball with the underbrush. Lots of people do and that adds to the slowness. The fariways on the back 9 are tight, perhaps that is part of the strategy to get people to hit short and straight but us guys who play a few times a year want to hit the driver. If they would clean up the underbrush and enforce some basic rules this course would be great. But unfortauntely everytime I play here lately I regret it.

the course was in great shape, only two holes had problem areas that they were still working to repair following this past winter. The layout is great, there are some challenging the holes but it is not overly difficult. I would definitely recommend this course for anyone who is in the Middle Tennessee area.

While most golfers coming to the coast will want to play the Sea Island course, don't overlook Sea Palms. The course was in excellent shape. The bermuda rough was a bit tall for my liking, mainly because it is difficult to find balls that you know were not too wayward. This course puts a premium on shots down the middle. Not only does the island growth limit much of the left and right, but even if you are in grass the tree branches overhead will limit your shot selection to a lot of bump-and-run shots.

The course is not terribly long, playing to a par of 71. But it provides plenty of challenges beyond pure distance. Will definitely play again.

Indian Hills has a great layout. Fun and challenging for your short game.

This is a fun course to play where you are unlikely to lose a lot of balls. Golf carts need attention though. And the 8th hole is closed so you have to play a temporary par 3.
