Difficult golf course but fun. Scenery is great, lots of elevation changes and greens are pure. Each 4 hole loop has a slightly different feel. Difficult to walk for sure. Good price for the quality and worth the trip.
You can tell they take pride in their course. Great service at the counter and even better facility to enjoy. Very peaceful back in the woods. Most courses around are built in subdivisions, it’s nice to be out in the woods. The greens were true and fast, but not so fast that it made you scared to be aggressive. Can’t say enough good things about the place. I’ve been searching for a place to get a membership since I got stationed here, and I have finally found the place. Unfortunately it’s going to have to wait 9-12 months, but I’m looking forward to getting back and picking up where I left off.
Well maintained golf course with complete asphalt cart paths on each hole from tees to greens. Beautiful greens with challenging breaks.
Fantastic Facility. Played this course traveling north on I95 and was pleasantly surprised with the entire round. Warm and friendly staff @ check in Course layout is a lot of fun. Tons of dog-leg holes, blind tee shots and elevation changes along with water on several holes. Course conditions exceeded expectations for this price range. Greens were beautiful and the natural landscape with the compacted sand along with the tall pines really made this place feel special. Pace of play was great and the carts seemed relatively new. Honestly I wish I lived closer, I would play this course often. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
While traveling through the area a few years ago, I was looking for a course to play. I must admit that I was attracted to the Bayonet at Puppy Creek due to the unusual name! And I'm glad I decided to play there. Very nice course and it provided me with a nice challenge. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely give it another go.
