Below Par

Course needs more time to develop. Little grass in fairways. Overpriced.

No grass growing yet

Course overpriced for this time of year. Especially since grass not yet gowing on the fairways. Very tight lies! .
Found a local coupon for $45. Pro shop would not honor saying course now managed by new owners. Coupon had no expiration date nor did it identify any limitations. Don’t feel their stance was appropriate. Will be looking for courses to play.

This place has changed quite a bit. Staff friendliness, Pro Shop assortment, course conditions (especially the greens) were noticeably elevated from last year. Pace of play was very slow but that’s because of a tournament and course popularity. Staff knew before we checked in that pace would be slow and without being prompted made moves to please us which were totally unexpected. We have always thought this place was 5 star potential but now they are really working to live up to it.

Numerous Ongoing Improvements

Hip hip hooray. The Cupp course is undergoing several types of improvements that will not only improve the aesthetics of the course but also the playability. What I did not like about the course is that a number of the greens have severe slopes that effectively reduce the playing area of the already smallish greens. The fairways were very thin and although I am a strong opponent of overseeing I am a firm believer in maintaining thick fairways so that the dormant grass does not result in bare fairways. Maybe with the improvements Cupp is on a path to revitalize their fairways and thicken the natural grass during the growing season. With that improvement and the expansion/elimination of some of the severe sloping/drop offs, Cupp will become a 4.5 course again.

Getting Better

Thanks for improving the course with so much work being done on bunkers and resided areas this will make the course great later this year. The front nine was in better shape than the back none where the fairways were very, very thin. I love the layout, would never get tied of all the challenging holes. Hope all the renovations go well. Nice people, nice place

Wow!

Hope your golf balls aren’t hydrophobic. There is a lot of water with greens tucked in and around the ponds. Greens were really fast with minute undulations that were tough to read. Very nice layout and great conditions of the course for January golf! Go play it!

Play Arthur instead

I booked this course bc I wanted the first tee time and it was the only course that had it available. So I flew around which was great. I’m a 13 hcp so I’m not exactly Mr consistent.
Too tight off the tee. Lot of quirkiness to it.
No GPS in carts. Map of course on scorecard is a joke.
New electric carts and no gps? It’s 2023.
I’m told the Arthur hills course is more forgiving off the tee.
Beautiful conditions tho. Greens were better and faster than Hilton head national that I played a few days ago
