Sunny day in November

The course had a few people playing. It meanders around alot of houses I had to reach out to construction workers to find the 3rd hole . Ultimately had a good day .

pleasant surprise in N AL

Staff was very friendly.
It is obvious that this course fell upon hard times and equally obvious that they are working hard to make the course better.
The fairways were firm. The greens had been punched and dressed in the last couple of weeks.
On the back nine, pace of play was very slow and I ended up playing the last seven holes with two locals. They definitely added to the fun of the round.

Pleasant surprise in N AL

Staff was incredibly friendly.
Dry fall made shots roll out, greens were recently punched and dressed.
Some quirky holes that would be easier the second time around.

Picturesque in country setting.!

Nice course! Picturesque in country setting. Just need a little more attention to folks cutting in front on 10th tee and slower golfers not offering passes.

Not sure what happened.

Played it about two months before and it was in great shape, save for it being wet after heavy rains. This most recent time, the rough by the greens was so thick you needed to step on your ball to find it, and 4-5 of the greens were in pretty rough shape, particularly 9 and 18.

Check course maintenance before golfing here

09/02/23 - BAD, FRUSTATING EXPERIENCE. 4 golfers from bogey to +++, 70+ year cumulative golfing exp. GRASS WAS NOT CUT. If a ball was 6 inches off the fairway it took 4 people to find it - walk by 3-4 times before seeing it. thick, deep rough. Ball bounces off green - same thing.... find 2-3 other balls before finding the ball that was hit - within 5 steps of the green.. Spent so much time looking for a balls, it became easy to forget where the other balls were hit so they could be looked for. There was a tremendous penalty for balls that weren't hit all that bad. Will not go back unless I'm certain that course has been maintained.

Nice round of golf while visiting Huntsville

I was visiting family for the weekend and was looking for a round of golf. Nice location north of Madison. Everything was on-time, fairways and greens were in good shape. Being in the rough was punishing.
