They also had Civil War reenactments in the park, hot air balloon races and such. And, they have walking trails.

Average course: first time as I was visiting the area and was invited by friends…read more Unsure of the course I opted to ride, but it's definitely walkable in that there aren't hills to navigate. Even w riding I got about 8k steps in. (But I also purposefully will take my "Sunday bag" and walk to my hike and let my seated partner drive to theirs) I'm a newbie golfer (2yrs) but have intentionally tried out various courses and am learning quite a bit about them and how "I" personally rate them: so this is my own personal newbie experience Much like my home course in Aberdeen Maryland: It's flat. Pretty wide open. If you hit halfway decent you shouldn't lose balls to "off the fairway"...unless you really are way way way off the fairway Few hazards...but it's best to go with folk who know where said hazards are..there's one man-made ravine that crossed the fairway on a par 5 that isn't noticeable from the tee box. From the red tees, water was only a hazard a couple of times right off the box The greens were in great shape, and the fairways fine (imo) It runs along the Tn River, so pretty quiet and peaceful and not amongst houses. There's a walking path between "it" and the river so bikers and walkers are seen, but not a disturbance. I was with a group who already made reservations so I had no dealings with the staff Likely will return. Short 25minute drive from hsv/madison, I enjoyed myself

First time to Point Mallard Golf Course and really enjoyed it. Everyone there were really nice and…read moreaccommodating, especially when I had my tee time wrong and was running a bit late - thinking I was getting there early and could enjoy a nice warmup and some putts. It was a BEAUTIFUL Autumn day which made the course even more enjoyable! Two of our foursome had never been there and we both commented how much we liked it and look forward to returning. The greens and fairways were in great shape for the most part (if they had sand on the golf carts, I think the fairways would be in better shape). It's a friendly course, that is pretty wide open, has strategically placed sand traps (really deep ones by the way) and some tricky water features. The greens themselves have some really cool twists and turns, too, making the putting piece interesting and fun. I did not have time to check out the pro shop too thoroughly or the "grill." I did see a couple of guys enjoying a beer on the back, covered deck. Looking forward to many more fun rounds at PMGC!

Everyone had a great time and said they would definitely go back. My husband told me the owner was very kind and welcoming. My 7yr old nephew took his goggles off to adjust them as a paintball was already in flight going towards him. He was pelted in the eye and his dad had to take him to the hospital. The owner felt very bad and was very concerned. He even tried to give us the money back for him. He told my husband to keep him posted. As we called the owner later that night with an update on his condition, he was sincerely concerned for our nephew and said they were already praying for him in his bible study. We will go back. Everyone had a lot of fun and said it was awesome!! I didn't even go but I know this was the greatest experience (even with the accident) my nephews had during their visit in Alabama, that says a lot considering all of the attractions we visited while they were here. Thank you so much for a wonderful time and the southern hospitality!

As a second-year XMC family, we can confidently say this program has exceeded our expectations…read more Watching our son return for another summer spoke volumes about the positive impact his first experience had on him. Extreme Military Challenge is so much more than a summer camp. It builds structure, discipline, leadership, resilience, confidence, accountability, and teamwork in an environment that challenges young people to discover what they're truly capable of. The staff genuinely care about the success and well-being of every Challenger while maintaining high standards and expectations. One of the things we appreciate most is that the program teaches life skills that extend far beyond camp. Our son returned home more confident, more respectful, more self-disciplined, and with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. As parents, we also appreciated the communication throughout the summer. The updates, photos, and transparency helped us feel connected while allowing our son the opportunity to grow independently. If you're considering XMC for your child, our family wholeheartedly recommends it. If your teen is willing to be challenged, work hard, and step outside their comfort zone, they will leave stronger--physically, mentally, and emotionally. We are incredibly grateful for the leadership, guidance, and dedication of the entire XMC team and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact they have on young people for years to come.

This is a great camp but you need to know what you are signing up for. I sent my daughter here…read morebecause she has expressed interest in joining the military. She is 14 years old and attended Cadet Fitness Challenge and Cadet Basic Training 2026. Professionalism: I found everyone to be professional and doing a good job. The Commander makes it clear that they are mimicking a real military experience even for parents. So we knew not to expect Chick-fil-A customer service. Medical Care: My daughter's experience with the medics was great. She said they took better care of her than I do at home when she was not feeling well. Troubled Kids: There are kids from all walks of life attending this camp just like in the military. Some troubled kids and some amazing kids truly interested in bettering themselves. If your kid has not experienced some bad apples and knows how to deal with them they might be surprised. My daughter had a horrible experience with an idiot kid that threatened her and she reported it immediately. The Commander took action and kicked him out of the camp. XMC has no control if parents send their bad kids to camp but if they do, he will find out and kick them out. Make sure your kid knows how to identify and report bad behavior immediately and it will be handled. Luckily we have taught my daughter what is unacceptable behavior and she knows how to report it and she did. XMC even changed a policy because of her reporting. They do take it seriously. Unfortunately those types of people are everywhere and if you haven't taught your kid about the real world then maybe this will be tough. Food & Drill Instructors: My daughter was aware of the 3 phases of CBT including the first red phase where they do limit the time they spend eating and sleeping and do extra physical training. Again, this is part of the realism of the military. If they get through that then it gets easier. I would get letters from her saying it was a "living hell" but she was committed to finishing and she did! Results: Like most parents when you read letters saying it is a living hell and they are hungry you get concerned, but I was always looking on the parent facebook group and they were great about posting updates. I would see her participating and cheering on her platoon. She looked great. When we picked her up I was expecting her to say she hated it and was so happy it was over. Instead this is what I heard. - yes there were very hard times (like that idiot kid's threats) - yes she cried a lot - yes she was hungry because she didn't eat all the food she had because she didn't like it. - yes she was pushed to her physical limits - yes the drill instructors yelled at her and made her cry - yes, those same drill instructors after red phase started a different relationship and mentored her. She learned amazing life lessons from her DIs and absolutely loved them by the end of camp. - yes, she made incredible bonds with other campers (probably for life) - yes, she wears her Cadet badge with pride - yes, now she wants to go back for more courses - yes, she was SAD to leave when her battle buddies were staying more weeks. - yes, she is a different kid. more responsible, respectful and grateful. So, is this camp for your kid? If they aren't ready to do something truly hard, then no. But if they are ready to be physically, emotionally and mentally challenged and want to be better, then absolutely yes. For my kid: 100% the right place.
