General's Ridge Golf Course

Many blind fairways and greens. This course is short but requires straight shots to avoid loosing your ball. You would want to go back to try and tame it.

This course was mediocre and the lasting impression is that it's extremely narrow and rarely requires anything but a long iron off each tee. Tough to score well when you're out of position on many holes. Many holes butt up against houses in the neighborhood.

Played in early October, course was very wet. Many of the tee boxes are sheltered by towering trees, so some areas don't get enough sunlight. Many of the greens were a mess, with large patches without grass, and hard as a rock in some areas. In addition, the exaggerated slope on some of the greens, especially in the areas where the cup was located, made putting a frustrating experience. There is difficult, and then there is silly. Feels like they tried to do too much with the greens, and now have trouble maintaining them. In addition, most of the fairways had not been cut in a while; the grass in the fairway was more like light rough. Fairly challenging course, many of the holes were short but with sharp angles to prevent low scores. Would probably go back in the spring to see if it was just a late-season effect on the course, but overall not impressed.

I had played this course a few times years ago. The course is not that difficult aside from the sloping hills that are present on just about every hole. It used to have GPS range finders in the cart and fairly well tended grounds. Unfortunately that is no more. On most holes, there was no difference between rough and fairway. Drainage is obviously a problem. It seemed like every ball I hit ended up in a muddy divot or carrying a side of dirt. The greens had been scuffed and marked up. This was never the best of courses but it has really gone downhill.

Work required concerns greens (to hilly on some), fairways (replace with zoysia like they did at Meadows Farms), tee boxes (Zoysia), ball washers (keep them filled with soapy water), cart paths (need patching in many places). A short but very challanging course but if not put into playing condition needs to be turned into a housing development. Need to spend money to make money. Great potential to be a super, challangiing course but needs work.

Several holes have blind tee shots, and the occasional approach shot(s) too. Very hilly course, thankgoodness for carts, you would have to be super fit to walk it. Played the course twice, and look forward to more. The grounds are in generally poor shape, I'm certain much of this is weather related, however, a lot of work is urgently required to lay more turf over the entire course, including the greens. There are many bare patches of earth. Greens are tricky but true.

Terrible condition. Fairway grass have all, 18 holes, been killed. No grass to speak of including the tee boxes. The course should be closed until they revive the grass.

Played this course 3 times this year. First two I really enjoyed, but this last time the course was in bad shape.

Course was in horrible condition. Greens had fungus and were patchy at best. No yardage cards. Many blind tee shots that even the straight hitter could find the fairways.

I have played General's Ridge several times, and it has yet to disappoint me. I particuarly enjoy the 4th hole and the 16th hole (their "signature hole"). If you spray the ball around, you will have a long day, but I enjoyed the challenge and it kept me coming back every time.

This is a tough course under the best of conditions. I love a challenge, but these past years have seen a steady decline in course maintenance. Now the fairways are in such poor shape that even a good tee shot is rewarded with a bad lie. It will take a long-term commitment and many months of maintenance to return this course to average playable condition. The greens and rough are not much better. It is well below average. I just won't play it again at any price until the required restorations and maintenance are accomplished.

Tough layout, coupled by winter conditions not worth the $
