Greens are terrible

The pace of play was awful. I’m not normally in a rush, but waiting about 15 minutes on every hole is ridiculous. When two or more groups are backed up at a hole that should be a red flag. At 3 hours I only played 11 holes. I gave up at that point and just called it. Every hole I passed had groups backed up.

Staff isnt the friendliest, but you cant beat the price to play in the area.

Couse and clubhouse definitely in need of repairs.

Booked thru Golfnow Hot Deal. Starter let me play early as it was not busy. Good course condition at this time of the year.

....Were rough in some places...needs some TLC. Hard to put!

Considering this course is embedded in a very large subdivision it’s fair to expect it to be busy. What isn’t expected are the members who bypass the marshal and tee off wherever they choose, slowing down the pace-of-play even more, on what was already a busy weekend. While on course you would expect a marshal to ride through to make sure everyone is keeping a good pace as well. Easily had to wait 15-20 minutes on a majority of tee boxes and unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish the round because of how late it was, so I had to ride through the remaining 4 holes.

There were several patchy and sandy greens, and overall the course conditions have declined somewhat.

The highlight of the day for me was meeting two other players (father and son) who I paired up with half through the round. I normally dread having to pair up with “randos”, but they were chill and made the remainder of the round endurable.

It’s a standard neighborhood course with houses on either side of most of the holes. Staff was super friendly and helpful on what to expect throughout the day. I wasn’t a huge fan of the green conditions. They were not receptive to most shots and had a lot of burn spots on every green. It appears they haven’t tended to them in the off season. Other than that, it was a unique experience with #17 being my favorite hole. That hole is the reason I will be back again.

Overall, not a bad course for the money.

Layoutt is nice. Challenging but not crazy Hard. Decent length from the blue tees. Lots of rolling hills.
The greens are horrible. Matted grass with track marks everywhere. We may try to play again in the spring...if the greens are better.

Played on Black Friday, they paired us with 2 other guys, so it was pretty busy. The fairways are very tight with houses and cars in driveways lining the course. We drove up from staying in Orange beach because the price of a round anywhere in that area are crazy high. The course is in decent shape and the greens roll okay. Good breakfast sandwich in the clubhouse.

The staff insisted that I share a cart with someone who clearly didn't care for me being a their cart

Greens on first niine need some more work back nine greens excellent . Fairways in good condition very good value. Restaurant great burgers
