Long walk

Unfortunately my brother in law and myself played this course when it was cart path only. We’re both in our 70’s with physical problems so needless to say, we were whooped when we finished. I’m sure we would have enjoyed it a lot more if we could have driven to where we hit our balls. Also has a lot of doglegs and for the short hitters some forced carry off the tee. I would play it again as long as it’s not cart path only.

Beware 4 holes closed for winter, but great track and condition

I checked in to learn that 4 holes are closed down for the winter. I was advised that Golfnow app provides this detail, bit it is nowhere on app when you select course. The Pro staff were very friendly and helpful, but think GolfNow provides the closing details. Anyway , they recommend to play 4 holes of your choice a second time - very professional staff.

Heads Up

Four holes closed for winter and course recently aerated. Not shown on Golf Now while booking. Shame.

Great Course

Applecross being a private club, it is really nice to see that they throw a few tee times out there to grab on golfnow. For $80 bucks it was a good deal. The people who work at the club are very friendly and helpful. The course itself was in great shape and provides a good test. If I see it available again, would definitely be back.

Amazing course

Only realized after that Applecross is a private club. If you’re able snag one of their public tee times that they make available, I highly recommend doing so. My only complaint would be the smell of raw sewage that lingered at times and completely punched you in the face at other times. Definitely not what you’d expect at a private club.

Nice course

Played multiple private courses and this one is pretty good. Course looks well played and greens were not as fast as I would expect. Holes were interesting. Good variations but is you avg over 260 yard drives then you should play the black tees. I played the gold and left with half wedges. Not very interesting. Other than that it is worth playing.
