Great and Exciting Course to Play

This was an absolutely great course to play. The scenery was awesome and the fairways were in great condition. The pro shop staff were wonderful and helpful. I'm looking forward to playing here again!

Not the best experience

Golf carts are not well looked after... Mid way through the back nine about a mile and half from the clubhouse our cart broke down. Usually not a big deal if you are able to call the golf shop, but there was no one there to answer the phone even with at least two more hours of available play left in the day (roughly 6PM). We then proceeded to have to walk the remainder of the course carrying our clubs over a very hilly course. The course was okay and would have preferred to just save my money for the price paid.

Call before you book and go

This is the second time we have booked it through TeeOff. First time they had lost their greens and were on temporary greens. This time the back nine was closed because of work on cart paths. They were also laying sod along the cart paths on the front. However when under full operation it is a very nice course and getting better with the work they are doing. It is challenging with potential hazards, deep rough, and very fast greens. Also with my distance off the tee it is a little too long from the white tees, almost 6000 yards and a little too short from the senior tees, 5100 yards. I recommend that you call before you book to be sure everything is open especially if it’s a long drive for you like it is for us, one hour 20 minutes.

Nice getaway

Our only complaints are signage for holes 1 and 10, no cart beverage person and when you try to call and order drinks or food for the turn there was no answer.....at the turn we were told it never rang.

Summer Day

Greens were aerated a couple of weeks ago and coming back nicely.
Owner is really putting in the effort to make the course better than it is already.
Always enjoy playing this course.

Very Dry Course

Been going here twice a year prior to the Talladega Race. The condition of the course wasn’t as good as in past years. Very dried out course and many tee boxes had no grass.

Work trip

While on a trip for work, we decided to try to get a round in before some really nasty weather rolled in. This was the first time I’ve played in Alabama, so I was unsure what to expect. The course was wet from recent rain, so we had to stay on the cart paths. The grass was all dormant and therefore brown, which if you play up north in the summer, brown grass means it’s as hard as a rock. Not the case in Alabama in the winter! Even though they were brown, the fairways were exactly what you would expect on a nice course. The greens themselves looks like they were recently painted and had a deep green color. They were in outstanding condition. I didn’t see any ball marks on the greens. The course layout was a little bit of everything. Elevation changes, water, sand, etc. I could see myself making a trip in a future winter to come back and play this course. Well worth the drive.
