Commentary:
Layout: This is a lovely track. It’s currently ranked as the #2 public in Alabama. I can see that, but I think there are a number of lower rated courses that I’ve played in other areas that I like more. Don’t get me wrong, I like this course, I just felt like the holes needed a bit more variation to really shine. For example, the day after playing this round I played at Farm Links. Now that is a truly exceptional design! Maybe even a 10. We’ll see here in a bit when I write it up and review my pics.
Conditions: The conditions were very solid. Not absolutely perfect, but nearly so. Solid 9/10.
The Staff: As with most courses, folks were nice, but not overly so. Once again, the folks out at Farm Links were just that much better even in this category.
Value: This is a more expensive round. All told, with tax, I think I came in around $160 for 18. Of course this includes range balls and a cart. But, with the course just a notch below perfect the value isn’t quite a 10 either.
Played here solo (though I got paired with a couple of other guys traveling to play here) during my son’s 13-year-old trip we took to see his friend in Tenessee + time in Georgia at the aquarium and six flags.
Scorecard: I’ve been playing quite well lately and though I did take one or two mulligans during my round this is a relatively honest scorecard: LINK
