Drove 1:40 minutes Wed.7/8/09 to play for $24. It's been several
years since I played here.
The layout is challenging for all skill levels and
offers many scenic views.
Tee
boxes and fairways were well manicured. Fairways provided generous landing
areas.
The strategically placed bunkers bordering the fairways and greens, tested
your club selection and
accuracy.
The course was well marked with yardages on sprinkler heads and cart
paths. The greens were very disappointing!!
They were thin, had bare spots and a
mix of grasses.
Surprisingly, they were soft and receptive. Approach shots were holding within
one putters length of the divot.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Saw no beverage
cart service.
This is a well
maintained facility whose greens need healing!!

This might have been the best dollar-for-dollar round of golf I've ever played.
I went with a group of 10 men total, and - WITHOUT REQUESTING IT - we were given
the "passport" rate of, I think, $37.
The course is way, way out of town (even farther for me than Barnsley Gardens
was), but is well worth the drive.
The grounds are nice and in good shape. The
workers are friendly and
attentive.
The cart "girl" was hands-down the best, the absolute best, I've ever
had. She was friendly and talkative.
She knew when to be quiet so we could take
our shots (and when NOT
to drive off :) ).
It was like having a good friend serve me food and drink on
the course. I was very impressed.
I got the sense that she WANTED to work the
cart and that the pay didn't
matter, which, ironically, got her a bigger tip from me :).
The driving range is slightly unique, because it's just a huge, huge field.
There are two rows of range tees something like 500 yards apart and just a huge
field between.
The range is
actually grass, and nice grass at that. It was a perfect way to warm up before
the round.
The practice green is huge, and although it only has 3 or 4 holes, there's
plenty of room to putt around and get a feel for the greens.
The course was in immaculate condition, and we saw very few other players (we
teed off at 10:30 on Saturday morning).
The tee boxes were all really nice. The fairways were great. The greens were
pristine, their speed was consistent and they rolled true.
The surroundings were
beautiful, with a ton of nice
houses lining the course.
What a nice course. What a fun day! It's rare that I'll rate a course 5 stars
for every category, but it fits for this one.
If you can make the drive (1 1/2
hours each way for me from
Roswell), do it!
I WILL be back!
