Only to receive a text back saying, the board banned me from the property for 2yrs because I mentioned bringing a gun onto the property. To show you how "blacks" are viewed, I never said no such thing and no one ever asked for my truth. Instead, automatic ban. I've been complaining since new management took over how the people being allowed on the course are not following course rules, and how disrespectful the seem to be towards myself and my golfing buddies that are also members. I said to HER, "it has gotten so bad (the disrespect) that I feel like I have to play a round a golf with my gun in my bag, and that I didn't want to be part of an organization that'll how me feeling this way.

My friend and my experience at this course was relatively fine until we were bullied by a member of…read morethe board of directors, G.R. Campbell. I am from the north, and have heard much about southern hospitality. It seemed like it was true until this interaction because everyone we interacted with before him was nice. We were on the 10th hole when we spotted the guy on the course. He was behind us moving very quick as a single. We had finished teeing off on 11 when he finished 10. As we were playing 11, I looked back to see him posing on the tee box like Gandalf the great from The lord of the rings. Then on 11, he hit his drive before I had hit my second shot. He is an older man so he didn't come close, but I would say 40 yards away. This was, obviously, something I was kind of upset about, however I didn't say anything until we got to the 12th tee where I asked if he wanted to play through, but also asked about the shot he hit into us. I believe my words were "Man you almost hit us there (jokingly with a fake laugh)" and he was pissed. He shook my hand aggressively and asked for my name before we asked him and he introduced himself as a member of the board of directors. When he shook my friend's hand, my friend asked him for his name, and he stepped into my friend as if to intimidate us before introducing himself. Then proceeded to aggressively inform us on how rude it was to not let him pass on 10. He also "discreetly" mentioned how he could easily get us kicked off the course. He seemed like he was in a bad mood, and was taking it out on us. The interaction totally killed my golf mojo. Since he is a member of the board of directors, I feel as thought I can totally be mad at the institution and not him specifically. He should be held responsible for the club if he is on the board of directors. Other than that it was a great course, and I thought the course was well designed. I really like the 18th hole. We complained to the pro shop, however they said "there is nothing we can do". To be honest, I didn't want a refund (although that would have been nice). I wanted him to be held responsible. it was very disappointing for such a great course.

I came here for the relatives, not for the golf, ... nor for the food…read more And while I cannot review the golf course (except to say it's carefully manicured and very pretty), and I can review the food at the club house. It's overcooked and bland. Perhaps some could say the fare is homely ... but you could do better at your own home ... with a microwave. All that being said, the Club House is an important hub for people who live around here, and I wouldn't wish to knock that. But the pretensions that it is a good eatery are just silly.

Fantastic layout with a good amount of water coming into play. I could play here dozens of times…read moreand not get tired of it. May be walkable on a nice day. But the conditions were just okay. They seem to be fighting another strain of grass creeping into some of the fairways. Greens were pure though. Members don't seem to fill their divots or rake the bunkers which is sad. (One also decided to slam his car door into my car when I was in it. No reaction from him.) Nice grass driving range and putting green. Didn't see a chipping green or bunker area. I will definitely be back but will park away from everyone else. 1 almost drivable par 4. Favor the right side off the tee. 2 beautiful hole with water up the left side. 3 brutal, winding par 5. I'd say driver is not the play off the tee, but your second shot has to be far enough up the second fairway to have a shot at the green. 4 intimidating par 3 over water. 5 cool looking split fairway par 4 that climbs the hill. Green has a big elevation change in the middle. 6 dogleg right par 5. Third shot you'll see the stone wall and creek that guard the green. 7 downhill par 3 with a huge green with a ridge cutting off the right third of it. 8 uphill par 4 with an elevated green that's hard to hold. 9 you really have to thread your drive and favor the right side. 10 beautiful dogleg right with a second shot down the hill. You'll also see all the water that'll come into play later in your round. Just beautiful. 11 uphill par 5. Driver off the tee except for the longest players. 12 fantastic looking hole. Well bunkered downhill par 4 with the second shot over water. 13 tough downhill par 3. Your view of the green may be obstructed which is a different but fun feature. 14 I've never seen this many bunkers on a drivable par 4, but the fairway is very generous left of them. 15 I hope you hit a cut off the tee. Toughest par 4 in my opinion. 16 great par 5 along the water. 17 couldn't even make the bunkers from the tips with a well hit 3 wood. I hit land then it bounced back in the water. Only reason why I don't think playing the tips are for me here. 18 from the back tees, I couldn't see any of the landing area. That is a tough tee shot. The green doesn't get any easier with a big slope in the middle of it.

This might be my favorite course layout wise. The course from the back tees play just over 6000…read moreyards but with several dog leg holes it makes accuracy a premium. That, or you need to have confidence in your driver to cut the dog leg off. There are a lot of elevation changes as well. The course is not the most manicured course I've played but the greens were very good except one that looked to be fairly recently redone. ( club house attendant said they had redone all the greens in the last 3 years ). Some of the tee boxes grass was a little long as well. Most of the bunkers were in good shape. Don't let the minor negatives keep you from playing the course though. The club house attendant said the course was purchased from a foreclosure so I assume they are having to bring the course back. They are on the right track. Staff was great and talkative. Price was very reasonable and included cart rental. I will play this course again anytime I am back for work!

You can go online and find really good prices on tee times. You may not get the times you want, but you will get the price you are looking for. You will also get a few par 5 holes and a par 6. Con- too many people. We were all sitting for 20 minutes on the back tees and it takes at least an extra hour on this course if not an hour and a half. The greens are also really hard and the tee boxes don't have a lot of grass because the course is played so much. I guess it's a good problem to have for the golf course, but if you are looking to play a few quick holes and head back to the house... It's not going to happen. You will need at least five hours for this course. All and all its a good course and I recommend it, but I don't make special trips just to play this.
