Had a great time playing this course. Greens are in recovery, but still had good pace. Would definitely come back to play again. 3 separate 9 hole courses that you can pair to play a full 18.

Excellent 27 hole golf course and overall facilities. Kind and helpful staff. This course is now on my rota. Ty!

Amazing course for the money! Three unique 9 hole courses that play very differently from each other. You will use every club in your bag. One hole you'll use a 7-iron, another hole you'll drop down to a 6-iron for the same shot, same distance, etc... It depends on the winds, the course, and maybe even the "Golf Gods" decided to make the course play a little tougher! Ha ha ha... My best game was today (4/22/19) when I made an incredible "bump 'n run" shot on Lake #6 with a 9-iron from about 20 yards away, and I holed it out for a Birdie! :)
I love this course and will be back again and again!

The "Chris Farley" of golf courses. Starts out fun with lots of potential. But after awhile you just know its going to end badly due to poor maintenance.
The good: This course has a GREAT layout with many 'risk reward' holes like "Lake 2"- choose how much of the water you want to take on. Wide fairways with not much rough (mostly dirt). Undulating greens that require some concentration but are not unfair.
The bad: the proshop staff who lied to me about having 27 holes available. I called & told them I'd like to play all 27. They said "sure". Then arrived to find only 18 were available (red flag #1). The other was under construction and it looked like a big dig.. not a temporary closure. So they knew this was coming. Walked to the cart and it was COVERED in dust (red flag#2). Not that I want my cart sterile but... I just don't want dirt all over my clothes before I even tee off.
The ugly: Fairways and tee boxes are 40% dirt (flag #3). Greens are OK. Not great. But OK. At least that was somewhat maintained.
The over all: This used to be a great course but has not been maintained. It's dying unfortunately. $40 for that is way too much. Maybe $20 so you know you are not getting the top tier quality course. Lots of potential but poorly maintained is going to lead to a downfall... Like Chris Farley unfortunately.
Pic is from Lake 9 fairway and was one of the better holes.

The only thing keeping me from posting 1 star is the fact that a 6 pack was only 17 bucks and the glizzy was decent.
My brother booked this place as we wanted to golf some new courses other than the same private country club we play multiple times a week. In turn we invited a friend from Charlottesville to come along also.
We don’t expect any public course to have a private club feel, by any means, but damn folks. I have NEVER golfed anywhere with gravel cart paths for one. That’s wild.
The greens are taken over by black fungus, as many this year have been due to the moisture and rain. The issue here is, the course is still charging full price! 54 bucks for un-puttable greens is a ripoff. Secondly, don’t hide the fact that your greens are torn up. Be open on social media or something to make folks aware BEFORE they come out. Take note from Birkdale golf course. They released a public announcement and that’s respectable.
The carts go the speed of smell. Literally thought I was going to have to walk a few times.
The fairways are hard as bricks. I compress a golf ball well, and usually leave a nice divot after the ball. Not at this place. Basically hitting off hard pan everywhere.
If you don’t hit a draw you will on those tee boxes due to the uphill slopes! Plane these jokers!
Now I will say one thing positive. This course layout is pretty neat. You cannot just hit a driver on every par 4 or else you will be punished! We played the “tips” and found the course to be short as it is only a par 35. Decent course management is necessary.
This course has SOO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!!
Fix the greens, water the fairways, and fix the tee boxes!
