Sad to see it go

Played in 3 1/2 hours today at Tam. It’s in great shape and still maintained well.
Hurry and get out before they close permanently

Great course

Very nice course. Great layout, nice variety, challenging but not impossible. Beautiful scenery. Thoroughly enjoyable. A few cart paths could use a little work and a few greens have sod patches which do not really effect anything. Course is in great shape. Get it while you can folks they are probably closing in end of October.

This is a must play

There are a lot of people saying that this course isnt worth the price. I’m my opinion it is. As you should already know this will be the last time you can play this former $15k a year country club course that is now open to the public. Yes the building and grounds are out of a zombie movie Because it is abandoned. The course itself is very well laid out and the greens and fairways were in very nice condition. I think it is a must play

What a shame

Its a shame this course will soon make way to 3 acre home plots. If you have the chance to play it this year I would. Challenging dog legs and water holes.

Great round (in four hours).

Course is in great shape. No standing water after heavy rain the day before. Great layout. Not difficult. Has water and placed bunkers. Flat greens except for #18 which is heavenly sloped back to front.
For 80 bucks it’s a steal. If u play a friends private course the guest fee is $80+. I’ll be playing again before the winter closure.
