Visitors should phone 276-322-4342 to set up the tee-time. Accuracy is a must on this tight 18-hole, par 70 course. The small greens pose additional challenges due to their shape and speed. Difficult pin placements and numerous sand traps will quickly punish any errant shot and an exciting day is certain!
