I have played Dogwood twice once in June during a glow golf scramble with my daughter, brother, and nephews. And recently with my brother. Course is great, and staff is friendly. I only ranked 4 stars because they have lost the greens on my last trip during the end of August, more than likely from the 100° days we have had this summer. I do think its a good course and will return to play again.
45 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and is one of the best courses within an hour of Chattanooga. Course and greens were in great shape and the views are breathtaking. Plus who doesn't like a lake that can be trouble on many holes on the back 9. Lol. Worth the drive and priced well.
Hidden gem? Absolutely. Located out in the country, but really convenient to Chattanooga, Huntsville and Nashville. What an awesome place! From the minute you walk into the clubhouse, you're treated like family. That's because it's a family-run business. Our golf league just recently booked a package at Dogwood Hills for our annual fall golf trip. And not a single negative word was mentioned to me by any of our guys. Everyone is already talking about a return visit. The staff is amazing. When is the last time you stayed at a resort and the owner was helping with the breakfast service? The course was manicured - lush fairways and true-rolling greens. The cabins? Amazing. Each one different in its own way and, believe it or not, actually built by the owner. The best thing about Dogwood Hills? Cassie, the Cabin Director. This woman absolutely does it all - books the golf packages and cabins, cleans the cabins, does the laundry, cooks the breakfast - I'm shocked I didn't see her out there mowing the greens! Alabama might be best known for the RTJ Golf Trail, but for the best golf package with the best pricing and the best accommodations, there's really only one choice - Dogwood Hills in little 'ol Flat Rock, Alabama. Please consider them for your next golf trip. They are the epitome of what a golf destination should be.
A Hidden Gem of a Golf Course! Dogwood Hills is an absolutely beautiful, family-owned golf course that feels like a peaceful retreat. What really sets it apart are the stunning natural ponds scattered throughout the course—you just don’t see that kind of scenery at many other places. The layout is thoughtful and challenging, but not intimidating, making it perfect for both casual and seasoned golfers. The staff are incredibly welcoming and you can really tell it’s a family-run operation—they care about the course and their guests. Everything is well-maintained, from the greens to the clubhouse. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel at home. You can also book one of there spacious cabins on property with breakfast provided every morning. It’s a must stay and play golf course!
Beautiful course, only 1 hr from HSV, AL. Perfect fairways, lots of features: hills, water, sand, trees. Very well-designed course. Great ownership 😁👍 Very reasonable prices for such a great course.
