Municipal course that is somewhat a links style course. This is the easiest layout I've played so far in North Alabama. So I believe it is a little more forgiving than the others I've played so far. I'm playing the course out of season so don't let the brown grass fool you. Theres plenty of lie to hit off of even if you're off the fairway. Very enjoyable layout. All of the greens were in amazing shape. Very fast. If I'm guessing probably around an 11 on a stimpmeter. And still challenging enough. Clubhouse and staff were great. There is a small restaurant area to eat in with more than just a hotdog/sandwich choice. I believe there was draft beer as well. Overall highly recommend especially for higher handicaps as it is still challenging enough but forgiving enough not to lose a ton of balls.
Great course....expect 4-6 hour rounds tho. The head pro Eric is great...others in the pro shop not so much.
I love to play golf here , really beautiful golf course and organised tees ! Loved it !
Excellent service, nice course to play. This is the second year I have attended a tournament on this course and it was a great place to enjoy the game. It’s a fun course, and offers a few challenges around every turn. I will definitely play each time I’m in Florence.
Love the course but the way you handled the NO raincheck when all i asked for was my moneys worth and to get 9 hole raincheck. Treated like i was 2nd class citizen. Golf now and blackberry you failed on this issue EDIT*** Not had a problem in the many rounds since. Still my favorite course locally even the the above issue
