4/6/2012 - Beautiful course. Posted by Cameron (Stittsville, ON CANADA)

2/2/2012 - Very, very nice Posted by Michel (Montreal, QC CANADA)

4/8/2011 - The last of the best 3 courses we played. We played the day after Bill Murray's fundraiser and the course was in excellent shape. By far the most enjoyable staff we encountered, Andy Hite, starter and the lady behind the counter were absolutely the best ever. Posted by Phil (Pleasant Lake, IN)

3/26/2011 - This golf course is one of the best that I've played. It's beautiful, well groomed but still challenging with fast greens. Posted by Carole (Chelmsford, ON CANADA)

10/12/2010 - Absolutely a golfing treat and 1st class service. Posted by Dennis (San Antonio, TX)

4/8/2010 - Pricey but worth it. Nickalus' signature generous fairways, huge geens and bunkers along with sandy natural areas that you can drive through. The people are very helpful and gracious. Don't miss this one. Posted by Len (Suwanee, GA)

6/23/2009 - So far my favorite course. I will be going back. Posted by Gina (Tifton, GA)

4/29/2009 - A real "knockout" (5 stars). Very fair but equally difficult. Would recommend this to anyone. Would love to play it again. Posted by James (Avon Lake, OH)

2/5/2009 - Played my best round of the week. This course was the best out of the four we played. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Posted by Bill (Sykesville, MD)

7/3/2008 - Excellent course nestled in among nice condos. Very scenic. Holes 15 and 16 are terrific challenges by the King and the Bear. Excellent course conditions with true putting greens. Good fairway roll and challenging rough. Play the tees you need to, not the champ tees unless you are a 4 handicap or lower. Excellent beverage cart and restaurant. Rated a 4 1/2 star by this golf rater! Posted by Robert (Indianapolis, IN).

6/19/2008 - I do not have words to justify the way we were treated at this course. It was the best course I have ever played in my life. Everyone was so nice to us we didn't want to leave. My wife and I are already planning to return and play it again as soon as we can. Posted by Rob (Lubbock, TX).



6/19/2008 - The course was punched but still very playable. Posted by Gary (Brook Park, OH).

5/12/2008 - Along with Slammer & Squire, two absolutely fantastic courses! 5* Posted by Andrew (Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom).
