Get Ready to Rumble

This course will test your abilities as a golfer from the first tee. Great layout, awesome scenery and tough rough will have you coming back for more. Me and my buddy had never heard of this course until we saw it on Golfnow and we only live 45 minutes away. We will definitely return if the price is right. I felt like I had been in an 18 round boxing match when the round was over but loved every minute of the fight.

No Marshalls so slow

Greens and course were in great condition. Play was very slow ( about 25 minutes behind pace) when a twosome jumped 3 groups and got in front of my group. I reported them but no marshalls resulted in no action. Hopefully this is a one time incident.

Nice course!

I played early in the season (March) so not much of the course was green, but I knew that going in. Sand traps were decent although I was playing by myself and wasn't concerned about scoring so lifted them out.
Greens were not fully developed yet and still had some sand.
CARTS: On cart GPS is nice. Cart SHUT DOWN feature is annoying.

Many positives

Wanted to play Cateechee for a while and it was worth the wait. Got a hot-deal but it would have been worth the normal price especially for the beginning of Spring.

Course design is short but challenging with many tough approaches. Most tee shots don’t require too much accuracy aside from 10 and maybe 18. 10 is a ridiculously hard golf hole btw. Conditions were great aside from most fairway bunkers being baseball dirt texture but it is north GA. Greens were absolutely phenomenal.

Clubhouse is really nice and they have a halfway house, plus restrooms on course. Range balls are included but putting green and short game area.

Only negatives would be no carts in the parking lot and I had to wait 10 minutes in the golf shop before anyone arrived to help me check in.

Will definitely be back closer to Summer to see what conditions are like.

Worth the trip -

What to say.

They have unlimited free treated water and so conditions are very good. Quality of the grass is high . Greens are very good and some sharp falls offs around several greens
provide some challenges

I preferred the back nine to the front nine

Layout has many good holes and some which are just dull.. Holes 3 - 9- 12 ... Yet Hole 10 is too hard for the average golfer

Practice facilities are solid..
Clubhouse is lovely..

Conclusion - it is a good course for people who spray the ball a bit. However having just played Currahee would say it is a class above Cateechee.

Expensive

Same old course. Poor bunkers, very dry, short staff, no beverage cart on 95 degree day but the are charging a premium price, $95 plus tax.

Not worth it considering other better courses in the area are $30-$40 less expensive. At that price you would think range balls would be free but no, for a small bag the charge is $5.

Won’t be back at those rates. Golf dose t seem to be a priority.

Dissappointed

Had not played here since new owners stopped doing business with Golfnow. I know how nice this course was. The greens were several weeks removed from aeration. Understandably they were slow bumpy and inconsistent. But, several had huge sandy dead spots. This is not acceptable for a course charging 100$ on a Wednesday at 1:30. This should have been alerted to me prior to giving away 100$. Several bunkers especially the fairway left bunker on #3 were in a state of disrepair with more like a red dirt and black soot mixture. Would much rather spent my hard earned money at Currahee, Arrowhead, Chimney Oaks or Walker Course. Will not be returning if changes are not made.
