Great course for the price. Second time playing this course in month and a half.
Not too many choices on the south side of town so my group chose to go outside of
town.
Could not say
enough good things about this course.
Summer golf so the fairways may be a
little spotty in some places. Not too bad though!
The greens are my favorite
thing about this course.
They
roll true as previously stated with a few tricky breaks here and there.
Big
bonus, which unfortunately I didn't take advantage of, is that they have 5 par
3's.
3 of those on the back side. So
start your round off good on the front nine and you should have a nice back nine
coming in.
All except number 18. Par 3 191 from the blue tees!! Very fun course
for the money!

Decent looking course and well worth playing for 30 bucks.
Love the fact they
have the distance to the hazards posted in the cart. Wish more courses would do
this.
You do not come back
to the clubhouse before the 10th hole.
Greens and fairways were in decent shape
when I played 6-12-09.
Easy to find balls hit off the fairways on most holes.
Very friendly staff made the
rain delay we suffered actually enjoyable.
Not the best shaped course in the
metro area but well worth the money.
I will play again in the future.

Played on Friday 6/12. This was my first time playing here.
I played in a
threesome and we sped through the first 14 holes but then things slowed down
considerably due to a slow
group.
The course is in nice shape. The greens were especially nice.
The middle holes
are a little silly at times, but they do their best to warn you of this by
posting a sheet inside your cart that
gives distances to the many hazards you come across.
Overall I enjoyed my round
and would like to play here again.
Its definitely a good value at $31, and I
would recommend playing
here over any of the city courses like North Fulton or Bobby Jones..
.. Its not
that far outside the city.
Oh, and the cart girl was friendly and quickly made her rounds.

Played on 6/14. As noted by others, the greens are great. Very smooth with a
tricky break here and there.
Fairways and tee boxes are a little rough in spots
but fair overall.
I like the
layout and the challenges it offers. A simple layout on the card would be
helpful for the several blind tee shots.
Note that you don't come by the clubhouse at the turn. Use the restroom at the
9th tee,
and bring something to eat if you want something more substantial than
candy from the drink
cart...which made 3 or 4 passes by us.
The clubhouse staff was extremely
hospitable.
Not bad at all.

I live in Suwanee, GA but have played this course as much as courses around my
neck of woods.
The drive for me is about an hour but you get the best value for
your money.
The
greens and fairways are in great shape and challenging.
I love playing this
course and will play more.

I play here regularly and this course is one of the best values in West Atlanta.
The greens are superb, there are a few rough spots in a couple of the fairways,
but other than that, this is a
great and challenging golf course.

I played here for the first time on 6/8 and was pleasantly surprised.
The course
was in good shape. The fairways were decent, but the greens were in terrific
shape.
There are several
holes that have blind tee shots, so it was difficult to judge what club to hit
unless you have played here a few times.
It would have helped if there were some
pictures of the holes on the
scorecard, especially on the holes with water.
The cart ladies were around
several times during the round. It is a good and challenging course and I will
be back to play it again soon.

This is a nice course, particularly for the $$.
Greens in great shape, rolling
very true. Fairways a little rough but very playable.
Layout changes up, just
not booming a driver hole after
hole.
Good amenities, saw the cart girls at least twice a side.
Very nice
practice green and decent driving range.
All in all, very good value. Look
forward to playing again.
