Fall in Chattanooga

Played an early round in late October, course was in great shape, the bunkers are in phenomenal condition. Course is really inexpensive by my standards, with a sleeve of ProV-1x balls it was still less than sixty dollars!
I walked the course and there’s really only one hole that had a long walk between green and the next tee. There were a ton of leaves on the ground but, it’s the fall. They also have the woods marked as lateral hazards which helps with pace of play. I got around in three and a half hours even though I had to wait on every tee around the back. Play this course, it’s one of the better ones around.

Best Course in Delaware

So, the course may not win praise for design or clever layouts but, the conditions on this course are going to be the finest you will see at a public course. The ornamental landscaping alone has to be a preposterous amount to maintain. I’ve had one bad experience in a bunker due to no sand, the back bunker on the par five sixteenth, I shouldn’t have been in there anyway.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the pace of play has always been excellent, I’ve walked the course twice this year. I mean the only downside is they use those 80% balls on the range, but I’m there to warm up not work something out.
It is always a blast to play here. Keep up the great work

Weird Greens

So, take this as you see it. The greens are too fast, in every direction, it’s fine if you’re putting one way and they’re quick but both up and downhill with and against grain is too weird for me. But, if that’s the way you want to do it, they should be receptive, they’re not. I hit the ball very high, with pin placement what it was I couldn’t hold a green. But, you also can’t run the ball onto the greens either, well, I couldn’t. A lot of water, a really beautiful looking course in good shape, I am not a golf course super but, the greens need to be fixed to make this course worth playing, I thought it was an issue with a new course, the greens were to hard from being new, the course is six years old. Played end of June, it was like the greens were still solid from winter.

Truly a gem

This is the best course in Sussex County by far, the conditions are always top shelf. The bunkers seems to have been replenished this season, the greens are receptive the folks are super friendly and helpful. I walked 18 and the pace was under four hours, you can’t believe the conditions and course.

Tight Fairways

So, the staff were excellent, better than most places and it was extremely busy for a Monday! Turns out they had a huge outing on the other course too. Pace of play was slow because of how packed it was, so I can’t fault them for it. The course was very wet for how dry the weather has been. I can’t fault the course for being narrow from tee to green, I have myself to blame for hitting driver on every par four! It’s a great value for the money and courses in the area best advice I can give is to make sure it’s dry.

Not a Nicklaus BUILT course

So, first of all, I had a good time playing the course, the layout is challenging and risky. The quality of the course is the only issue I have and it’s huge. The greens were nowhere near the quality of a Troon Course and the sand traps are even worse. Traps weren’t raked clear prior to play, it had not rained in days but the bunkers were crusted over and very thin. The first green was so slow the ball quit rolling along a down hill line, the second green was so fast that holding the green was improbable. Walking across the apron on the back nine was like walking over a marshmallow field. I’m saying that there was no consistency to the course. I had high expectations and they simply aren’t met here.
I have discovered that there is an enormous difference between Nicklaus Desgined and Nicklaus Built. I will not play here again. As a way of comparison, I have played Pebble Beach, Plantation and Kiawah Island. Plantation & the Bay Course are Troon courses worthy of their reputation.
