Marshall was great.
Pace of pace was horrible (over 5 hr round)
Course conditions were ok (unleveled tee boxes)
Greens played great

Reached out to GN about issue. Player got food poisoning morning of the round and could not make it. I had to pay ahead of time to play at course for $58. Ask for any help and still waiting to hear back.

Tough but fun course

If you are looking for a challenging round this course will deliver. The front nine requires accurate drives while the back nine has 3 par 5's and 3 par 3's making it quite enjoyable. A lot of step hills so I'd recommend a cart.

Difficult Course

The narrow and undulating fairways made it a difficult course for me. I liked the challenge but losing a ball is easy in the rough just off the fairways. The distances from the intermediate were good and the greens were amazingly fast. This is the type of course that requires a good amount of skill.

Tough, tough, tough

Greens were in good condition. Tee boxes were so. Some had grass, some didn't. Fairways were so so. Been on some that were much better. Pin places were awful. Several were on ridges. on one green, three us had to putt up the green to the cup placement which was on the ridge only to have our putts roll 20' downhill and we had little pace on the ball. Bunkers were not in good condition (last year was about three weeks ago). It was just frustrating waste of $30. We are playing in a tournament there in two weeks. If the tournament is at Smoke Rise again next year, I won't participate in it.

Couse5 is in pretty good shape BUT carts are terrible

I like the course cause it's very challenging and it's in pretty good shape overall. The issue is the carts are really slow and prevent you from going pretty much anywhere but the fairway and cart path. Even on the cart path the carts are so slow it takes an eternity to get to your ball. It was pretty frustrating during the round. I like the course but I can't see myself going back until they are willing to speed up the carts a bit.
