I was in town from Dallas for a wedding up the road in Jasper. I was able to sneak away on Friday for a Round of 18 while my wife did her bridesmaid duties. I called a week before for a tee time and requested to golf by myself due to time constraint and Savannah assisted me and booked everything for me. The course was beautiful. Very well maintained, and fast greens. What I enjoyed most was hitting on top of hills down to the greens on the Par 3s. Beautiful scenery. Cannot wait to go back.

People have said the course isn’t in good shape lately. Played yesterday, it was in very good shape. Not perfect but for 43 bucks, still an Incredible value and challenging little Track. Only complaint is that they don’t take cash anymore.

Very nice course and super nice staff. It was kind of challenging especially the greens. They were very fast the day I played. I had a really good time here and will be back for sure. Also had lunch in the clubhouse after 9 holes and the food and service was very good and prices were reasonable.

This course is located in Dora just outside of Jefferson County. Man I’m telling you there’s no course in Alabama beating this one for the price and how well maintained this course is. They could charge as much as highland park if they wanted to. I’m glad they don’t! Love this place!
