Chattooga Belle Farm
The course is installed. The fairways are somewhat mowed and will get wider over the course of the next couple of weeks. Holes 10-13 were not in the proper locations and the baskets have been moved.
After playing the course, it was apparent some of the tee markers had been moved from where they were suppose to be. Those tee markers have been moved. It changes the look of some of the holes and makes some holes more lefty basis and other holes more righty bias.
The course plays shorter than you would think based on the overall distance. The hazards are the elevation changes on the front 8 holes (unless you get behind an apple tree) and trees and water on holes 9-13. Hole 14 and 15 play along the edge of a small ravine that is pretty nasty (at least on hole 15). Holes 16-18 is mostly elevation changes again.
The owner and I talked last night and again today. We’re going to let the course be played as is right now and consider changing up some holes after the state doubles. The only changes between now and the tournament will be some tees moving 20-50 one way or the other and short tees being put in for the intermediate and mixed doubles teams. Which holes and how many holes that will get short tees still hasn’t been determined.
The course is playable. It’s a pay to play course. One round will cost $3.00. The farm is open Thursday - Saturday from 9-5. You’re able to play other times…it will be an honor system when the farm is not open.
If you’re playing when the store is open I suggest the Blackberry Cider or the one of the slushies available in the store.

Is the course dog-friendly? And is there a pay-bucket or something for the days the farm isn’t open? I was hoping to come check it out this Sunday if not raining.
