Course is in bad shape right now

This is a course I love and have played multiple times. I live in the area and is one of my favorites to recommend to people. Especially since it is usually one of the better bargains in the area. However, it is in rough shape. The greens are dying and have lots of bare spots along with the fairways. Putting is almost impossible to keep a ball on line. I would wait till later in the winter for the bent grass to come back to life to play this course.

Greens are much better than last time

Golf Course Sup has done a great job bringing back the Bent Greens. They were completely gone last year and now most of the green are looking great. They are rolling pretty good for this time of the year since they have to be left a little longer to handle the heat. For the price this is a great option in the area.

Greens are back

They have got the greens back. The ex superintendent sprayed bad chemicals killing the greens in the spring. The course has put a lot into the greens and it shows. They are rolling really well. The course layout is super fin. 2nd hole is a little weird unless you hit it far.. a fun reasonably priced course in the pinehurst area

Course was awesome late in spring but heat has killed the greens

The course was great in June. Greens were so pure, however summer has been super hot and those bent greens just couldn’t handle the heat. Hopefully with the red being open the course will hold up better. I think it is gonna look great again in a few months with the cooler temps

Not a fan of the grass

First off the people were great, however, this is old school grass and the fairways, and teeboxes were very inconsistent. The rough was out of control. I missed fairways by a couple of feet and it took everyone in my group almost 5 minutes to find my ball. It was a joke, I tried a white ball, a yellow ball, it didnt matter if you didnt drive on top of the ball it was almost impossible to find. Hole #12 is just a dumb hole, a tiny blind uphill shot that you have to be almost perfect from. The greens were nice for the most part, but I wasnt a fan and doubt I will ever play it again. IF I lived closer to the area I may go just because of the price but that would be the only reason.

One of my favorite course I have ever player

This course is amazing. It exceeded my expectations. I just got done with a day at the Masters on Monday and 2 days at the RTJ trail in Opelika and this was my favorite part of the trip. 3 of the par 3s are some of the coolest par 3s I have ever played. The golf carts are amazing, the staff top notch, the restaurant had amazing food (loved the Pig Candy). I cant wait to come back. The tee boxes make this course playable for the high handicap to the scratch golfer. It has everything, although there is no way I would ever walk this course. I bet this course is so beautiful in the fall when the leaves change color.

Great Course for the value

Played this course 3x over my week stay. This course is amazing. Great layout(although the first time playing is hard cause you are not sure where to hit some tee shots) Greens this year were a little more brown than last year. The fairways were in amazing shape and the course has so many great holes. The terrain makes this course so much fun. I played Pinehurst #3 the next day and I can say without a doubt this is a much better course, and for a lot less money. I look forward to playing next year when we go back to the lake house!

Course has seen better days

No grass in fairways, tee boxs tore up, rough so think hard to find balls weeds in all the bunkers. This course may have once been great but it isnt anymore. Drove 2 hours on recommendation that it was a nice course where meet up with friend from St. Louis. We were extremely disappointed

Best course I have played in Nashville

This course was amazing. The views, the layout. It is hard though and can be narrow. The greens had a lot of unrepaired pitch marks but the fairways were like race tracks, ball ran out forever. Very hard course to know where you are going the first time.

Course in Good Condition but design is funky

This course is not for the High Handicapper. Lots of forced carries. Only played the front. Holes 8 and 9 I just didnt get what the architect was thinking. Ladies have no chance at playing this course unless they can carry 160yds. Houses all around. The course was in excellent condition but not one I would want to play over and over.

Like the other side better

Crab grass on the greens and fairways made it less than Ideal and only had drinking water on 1 hole. Rough was long, I like the other side better

This place is terrible. The greens are just the worse, the fairways have been tore up by winter kill. The layout on the back 9 is terrible. Save your money and go play some where else. The city courses are not worth the money

Worth the Money if you get a good deal

Course was a little rough in areas, winter has hurt lots of courses this year though. #9 fairway is gone and they are playing it as par 3 instead. #18 is a dumb design IMO. 3 greens on the back 9 were a little rough but rest were in good conditions. Fairways a little rough cause of the winter. I will be back for a deal, full price it is not worth it there are other courses that are better for the price.

Good for the area

This course is in good shape. Pretty much drive wedge for me. It is pretty open so you can miss and be ok. I would reverse the 9s but that is just me. Course is fun and in much better condition than swan lake.

Great Short Game Course

I am a 5 handicap and I really enjoyed playing here. Greens were really interesting and had a ton of undulation and were in great shaped. Played under the lights which was cool and took to 1st time players. Only bummer is you hit off mats which is not the same as grass. However the grass around the greens is awesome and is perfect to practice your short game. Why would you want to hit balls at a range when you could pay the same amount and practice the shots that make the most difference.
