Greens were slow. Fairways were great. Temp was 95* and wind gusts were 30+ mph.

Our foursome teed off at 11:45. The course had received an inch of rain the night before. It was cart path only. We let a threesome play through. We completed our round at 4:30. Playing from 2 tee boxes. Greens were true and rolled good. Staff are welcoming and are GolfNow Friendly. Excellent grill and bar. Number two, six, eight and nine greens, have to be below the hole. Above and it’s an extra stroke. Will play again and will recommend this course to all.

Course was fast. Greens were in great shape. True and playable fast. Fairways were close and tight. Recently, rain has been scarce. Very few holes, water comes into play. Challenging, but fair. As a twosome, played in three and half hours. Only saw one group, two holes ahead. If in the area, DEFINITELY play again!

Course was fast. Fairways were close and tight. Greens were true and fast. Teed off at 12:30. After 8 holes we saw a group two holes ahead. As a twosome and first time to play this course, finished in three and half hours. Could see rainfall had been scarce. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE! Will be on my courses to play again!

Greens and fairways are Bermuda. Speed of greens-very slow. Fairways were in good shape. Traps were unplayable. Hadn’t been raked, and grass growing in them. Tee time at 2:40, didn’t see one maintenance person. When we arrived, confusion to locate Pro Shop. Said to employee, our first time. No comment. About 2:00, asked to go off early. Strange answer-Don’t think groups have left for awhile. (Our concern-cutting in on an earlier tee time) We played 17 holes, before we saw a twosome teeing off on #10. When finished, had a beer. Bartender was polite, helpful and answered our questions. GREAT POTENTIAL!

First time playing this course, a lot of blind shots. Since Hot Springs recently received a lot of rain, Cary paths only. Greens and fairways are Bermuda. Greens were very good. I like fast greens and wasn’t disappointed. Rating a course, greens are my number one. Followed by fairways, tee boxes and rough. Gentleman working in the Pro Shop, was friendly and informative. If I’m in town, I’ll book another tee time.

Had played the course many times. This visit, disappointed. Tee boxes and rough not maintained. Greens were very slow. Past visits, greens were always fast and challenging.

Course is difficult. Alot of placement shots.

Use your rangefinder or course markings. Each hole could bring trouble.

Teed off at 2:00 and finished around 6:00. Hickory classic was 8 days before. The back 9 of the Jackson course was the Champions front 9. (I was at the Classic on the 19th and walked the back 9) It was perfect. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were perfect. Being able to play a course after the tour played was a first. I was impressed from the practice facility to the last putt.

Was told to start on #10. Had a member senior dogfight that began at 9:30. Greens were very rough. Ball mark on #14(par3) was so noticeable.Created by senior member. We quit tring to putt after 3 holes. As we got to #18(our 9th hole) we saw 3 kids running across the fairway. We teed off and as we approached the ladies tee box, the kids had 2 clubs each. We asked what they were doing, and they said they were from the middle school. Mismanagement and members not setting proper examples Is a definite reason for the courses' condition. We played 9 holes and came home.

Was told to tee off on 10. Seniors(members) were having a dog fight at (9:30). Number 10 green was very rough. Putted and ball bounced along. Ball marks were excessive. Number 14(par3) had a recent ball mark from the senior members so large there was no way someone could of missed it. Management seems to not care,and members are not setting proper examples. As we get to 18 tee box,we see 3 kids crossing the fairway. We hit,and come to the ladies tee and each kid has 2 clubs each. We ask them what their doing, and they say their from the middle school. We finish only 9 holes and drive to the car. We payed $16.00 each, but to see a course mismanaged as it is,to pay any amount is too much.

the price we paid was great,even though they had been punched one week before we played.(no mention on golfnow's tee time listings) Fairways were Bermuda and absolutely great. sand in the traps was perfect texture. We didn't hit drivers on certain holes,and later realized we could of. I will definetly play this course again.

noticed a lot of walkers. I had a hard time with my tempo. played w/2 walkers. 2 walkers and 1 rider ahead of us and 2 riders behind us. greens were fast and true. on back nine 2 tee boxes and 1 green were all within talking range of each other. a lot of lay up shots-creeks and small ponds. greens had a lot of undulations.

Played at a temperature of 103. Not used to weather,being from mtns. of N.C. Bermuda greens were slow. Well maintained,for the lack of rain. Had to drive ball in fairway,or rough was unplayable.

hot,greens were slow. fairly easy layout. Finished in appx 4 hours. not rushed.

Linville Falls Golf Club.
We arrived at Appx. 11:30 from our house (2 counties east, also a mountain are). Rain fell at a heavy pour. When we entered the club house, only one person was present. I told him we had a 1:00 tee time with GOLF NOW. I noticed one green was under water. I asked him directly was the course open, and he said it was. (Aside from our car , his car, and 2 cars from out of state, the lot was empty. The bottom line - He said the course was open, and no rain checks and GOLF NOW, wouldn't validate a refund or rain check. Either way, I was going to lose $47.00. We decided to play, what a shame; Please look at pictures on Holes 7,8 and tee box on 9. Number 18 was standing water. I know; On Sunday afternoon when no regulars or members are playing, he has told them - COURSE CLOSED. I have played golf in appx. 30-35 states, 6 yrs in New Orleans. And I never played with 4-6 inches of water on greens.
Keeping score was impossible. I think GOLF NOW should step in and compensate our $47.00 or rain check us. (Here attached are our pictures.)
Thanks, if someone would look at the situation and use common sense.

When I arrived, the attendant appeared disinterested. I saw players paying, and told to take cart and go to the range. When I payed for range balls, I was told to drive our car to the range. My wife and noticed a difference in his attitude.

Fairways were still dormant. greens were fast,had to keep ball below hole.Would play this course anytime. Really need someone who has played the course,if its your first time. Creeks appear at inopportune times.
