Beautiful Summer Day

I shot a 70 from the tips. The course is in good shape. The greens could be better. I would suggest to management that they convert #6 to a par 5. It is too long to be a par 4 from the back tees. There is plenty of room behind the current tee to add another 50 yards and change the course’s par to 72.

Positives: Course is in excellent condition. Greens were fantastic and sand traps were well maintained. The course obviously takes pride in maintenance on the course.

Negatives: It is only a nine hole golf course and it is terribly overpriced based on the rates that I have read about. My rate on Golf Now was fairly reasonable, However, the rates advertised on Golf Now are NOT supposed to include the cart fee. The App says cart included, but the print out sheet says green fee only. The management was very kind to waive the cart fee for me because of this conflict.

Course has improved a lot since the last time that I played this course. Most of the greens have improved dramatically except numbers 2 and 7. I also commend the course for continuing to enforce Covid restrictions. It is just not that hard to be considerate of other people.

Greens are pitiful

Without good greens nothing else matters. I read recent reviews for the course and I was shocked to see the course conditions. Greens need to be replaced immediately.

Course is 6.5 or 7.0 on a scale of 1 to 10. It has improved s lot from previous years. There is still a lot of room for improvement. Several back tees need to be resided. Greens are not great. My biggest complaint would be that it is overpriced for the area. Also, the Hot Deal rate offered by Golf Now provided very little savings.

Beautiful Early Winter Day

Course is in good shape for December. New greens are much improved from greens earlier this year. I am not sure what type of grass is on the greens, but it looks like artificial turf.

Course is average. Needs improving from tee to green. Greens are not very good and many of the back tees are in bad shape. Course prices are much too high.

Beautiful December Day

Course is in good condition except for s few of the greens. Sand traps did not look very good, but luckily I missed all of them.

Recommendations for the course.

Golf course needs to implement colored tees such as red, yellow, white and blue. Also, the GPS is good, but the course needs 150 yard markers for yardage references and to be used as aiming points. These two suggestions are easy to implement. It is very difficult to find which tee you are playing with the current system of Roman numerals printed on rocks.

Covid-19 mandate is not being followed in the club house. Employees not wearing masks nor are the customers. THERE IS A MASK MANDATE IN ALABAMA. Follow the rules.

Course has improved a lot since I last played it. A few of the greens are stressed, but overall the course is in good shape. I think the course should have more Covid-19 policies in place. The entire state of Tennessee has been very lax in it’s policies. WEAR A MASK.

Lovely Day for Golf

The course is in very good shape. The tees, fairways and greens are in excellent shape. The sand traps are in terrible condition which seems to be the case at a lot of courses. My only complaint is that Dogwood Hills has absolutely no Covid-19 safeguards in place. No masks in the clubhouse. No instructions to. not touch flagsticks. No safeguards in the holes. Rakes are all over the course and so are ball washers. This is the tenth course that I have played since April and it is the only one without any Cocvid-19 safeguards in place. No excuses. The course needs to do a lot better.

Interesting Course

Course layout is excellent. However, the greens are just not very good. Also, the sand traps are unplayable. If you do not have good greens, everything else is just s waste of time.

Course is in decent shape. Hot deals rate is decent. Rake rate for this course is absolutely ridiculous. Scottsboro should be ashamed. However, through hot deals rate and Golf Pass perks, my round was FREE.

Course is in really good shape except the sand traps. However, the course does not have any Covid-19 precautions in place. There is NO EXCUSE for the lack of safeguards.
