pretty good design way out in the country

For an rural course, Sourwood offers a good design with varied types and difficulty of holes including one very challenging par-four, lots of creeks and ponds, a blind dogleg, and good par three holes. Unfortunately, the course, which is way out in the country, has suffered from from frequent management changes and lack of capital to maintain the course adequately. The photo with this page is absolutely NOT from Sourwood, at least this Sourwood which has no brick or multistory buildings. The course might not be in operation after May 2016.

Interesting Cheap Course but in Need of TLC

This course is in a beautiful location with rolling hills, ponds, meandering creek, and lots of trees. Staff is very nice and fees are low, and include some free range balls to warm up with. Greens are reasonably nice. Unfortunately, the fairways were in such bad shape that I can't really recommend this course. Not only was grass thin or non-existent in some places, but the ground was so hard it was almost impossible to make good shots from the fairways because you can't get under your ball. The course has full concrete cart paths and spots where you can see patches of bent or Bermuda grass, so it looks like it was probably a good course at one time, and it could be again I think. We will probably follow the course and look for news of any rehab or heavy rains that soften the ground before we play there again.
