I personally played it almost weekly up until this year, they no longer offer any tee times on Golf Now or Supreme Golf. It is an infinitely better course and can be played for just a few bucks more. Less folk are golfing nowadays, and the fact that the former Country Club of Ashland went public a couple years ago. There's a couple reasons for this that I see. We've taken the 10:22am hot deal tee time several times on a Saturday or Sunday morning and arrive to find a mostly empty course. It's definitely worth playing and easily so once you consider the price.įirst of all I'm very fearful that this course won't be able to make it financially. You'll likely walk away disappointed if you are used to country club conditions, or be pleasantly surprised if you're not. They'll be pretty hard if it hasn't rained much, but this course is the very definition of a muni, it's even owned by the city. You can now hit a bunker shot as opposed to not even needing a rake a year or two. They have put some sand in them in the last year or two, not much but it's better than they were. The bunkers are average, not much sand in them but they're supposed to penalize you so that's ok. You'll be glad they're slow if you're in the wrong spot on a couple of the front nine greens otherwise your second putt could be a chip back on. Greens are generally pretty slow but hold a ball well. Or you can attempt the hero power draw from the tee on 17 and be ok too, just depends on how froggy you feel. Anything over 210 or so out will pass those trees so a nice gentle fade will leave you in good shape after the tightest looking driving hole I've ever played. It's not as there's a built in bailout right. Hole 17 is a daunting tee shot with trees lining both side of the fairway making it look ridiculously tight. The back, it will look tighter than it actually plays. The first time you play it you'll likely feel like it's a wide open nine, but when you really think about it it's not. 8's landing area is pinched in by a lake on the right and OB on the left. 6 is the most deceptively tight hole you may ever play as anything on the right side of the fairway will leave you behind a big old tree (I hate that tree!) for your second. The lake on two is in play for bombers and the fairway tilts that way as well as a tree along the left side all but assuring your shot will end up more right than you intend. I said feel, the front is deceptively tight with well placed hazards. The front is more open while the back is carved out of a forest, without being overly tight. The nines have a very different feel to them. You probably won't be wowed, it's not in the same class as nearby Deer Ridge or Ashland Golf Club (formerly Ashland CC) but is in that next tier like Oak Tree or Pebble Creek. It's tough enough that it will challenge all skill levels yet is appropriate for my 12 and 14 year olds. There's also typically a hot deal tee time a day too on the weekend for 10-12, so value for money is astonishing. The normal weekday ride 18 price is 16.00 and you can buy a single membership including cart for 495.00. It's a very good course for all skill levels and fairly priced as well. I've probably played this course more than any other.
