There are far too many holes with blind shots requiring forward players to ring a bell to let those on the tee know the hole is open. Having said that the gps systems on the carts show the group in front of you so you can see when they are safely out of range. The real downside is that, unless yolk know the course well, it is really tough to judge where to place a shot. Course conditions were great with fairly fast greens. Tight tee times mean that the course gets crowded and the pace is slow.

Played the course on our way to Florida. Very windy conditions ahead of Hurricane Nicole but a lot of fun. We were a twosome playing behind a foursome of older men who wouldn't even think about letting us play through, the only downside to the day. Great conditions, moderate speed on the greens, very playable.

A nice moderately challenging layout. Greens were in great shape as were some fairways. Tees, primary rough, and some fairways could use work. My main takeaway is that there are bunkers everywhere on this course and I think I hit most of them! Luckily the bunkers were in great shape. Really nice folks there too. Definitely worth playing.

A nice and very playable layout. Good conditions and very nice staff. Close to I95 making it a great stopover.

Just way too tough a course for a mid handicapper. Blind shots, forced carries, uneven lies, and ridiculously tough greens. Hazards all ovrer and thorny bushes to boot. I can see why a scratch golfer would like the challenge and it is a visually stunning course. Played on a Sunday morning and the round took 5.5 hours! The pace was excruciating.

Tried to book Bulle Rock but the course was unavailable. Booked Mountain Branch as our 2nd choice-it will be our 1st choice next time. Great course and staff, good pace for a weekend morning, very pretty layout in great shape. Challenging but playable.

This is a tough course with a lot of forced carries. The greens are beautifully contoured. Getting on them is a challenge and once there putting can be challenging too. Must be absolutely stunning in the fall when the leaves change!

Conditions were pretty good. Tees and fairways were very nice and leaf free! The greens were very slow and some of the bunkers very soggy--both probably due to recent rain. One temporary green on a par 5. One downside is they are still charging in season rates all yea, which is a shame since if you tee off after noon you'll never finish because of the pace of play. Still love this course though!

I've played this may times since the course opened--usually a round or 2 per year. Always enjoy the varied nature of the golf hole. Played it yesterday and while the fairways and greens were in pretty good shape (except in common landing areas where there were far too may unrepaired divots) the tee boxes were not. The superintendent should do himself a favor and put divot mix on the carts and on the tee boxes--at least on the par 3s.

Lots of uneven lies, tough green, some blind shots. Local knowledge is a good thing. All the greens were aerated and there were temporary tees on all the par 3s. Took some of the fun out of the round. All necessary maintenance though. The new par 3 tees will be really nice.

The course is challenging and requires some "local knowledge" to navigate it.. The greens are typically fast and there are lots of cross slopes on the fairways--tough to get a level lie sometimes. I do wish they'd rethink the slopes on some of the greens to reward hitting the green rather than penalizing you, but that's golf!

On most holes if you don't hit the fairway in just the right spot you are facing a lost ball. Even if you hit the center of the fairway your ball will roll off into the woods. Not a lot of fun, especially for a first round on the course. The greens are very contoured and fast; I did like that! But getting to the green can be very frustrating. It has been a very dry year, and the course shows it and the dry conditions make the ball run-often into trouble. Come for the scenery though!

An interesting layout and a nice mix of short and long par 3s and 4s. The greens were in great shape and featured lots of contours.

It has been a hot dry summer and the fairways and rough were burnt out and hard as a rock. The greens were pretty.nice and fast. The course has a lot of blind shots and side slopes. Target placement of shots is a must--you can stripe one down the center of a fairway and have your ball run off the side and into.the woods. Or you can.push or pull .it into the woods and wind up in the middle of the fairway! There is just way too much reliance on luck to make this course a fair golf challenge. Very pretty views, though not really a golf course to enjoy.

I played Ouimet to Jones today. Great layout and variety of holes. The course is in great shape this year. The greens are contoured and played quick but not crazy fast. Some of the fairways are very narrow and anything left or right of the fairway will be lost. Not very forgiving but not quite target golf.

The course is in great shape. The greens were ridiculously fast but true. As an infrequent player having a map of the course and some yardage cues would have been nice. And the "whiffle ball" indicator on the pins is just plain stupid. We could never tell where the pin was located. Try putting read/white/blue flags in or noting pin positions on the card. With the greens so fast it made trying to hit to a pin impossible. Interesting and challenging layout.

First time playing this course. It is just a beautiful layout, great setting, and first rate conditions. Challenging but fair.

Great mix of holes and styles. A very open layout with a few blind shots and a couple of severe dog legs. You need to play it several times to get a feel for the layout. I played it in howling winds which made it quite a challenge.
