Terrain.

Poor use of terrain.

Played this course shortly after it opened. Walked off mid way through-the first and only time I have ever done that!Demanded refund. They charged full green fees while playing to temporary greens. To their credit they gave me a full refund.I have not been back since. Too many blind shots. Poorly desinged holes. Wasn't "fun" or fair. I want to give them another chance but haven't yet.

One strenght is the GPS system in the carts. The full color display in the carts shows a picture of the hole with important yardages marked. It also tells you how far away the cart is from the middle of the green, and it tells you the pin position. On a normal course, this would be a great addition and could make a good course great. On this course, it made it barely playable.

Besides about 5 holes, the course was fun. But those 5 gimmicky holes ruin it for the whole bunch.

Many weaknesses. First is the gimmicky holes, especially 10 and 11. Also, there are several severe elavation changes on the course. This makes for nice views, but club selection is nearly impossible. They make it worse by putting trouble all around, so if you hit the wrong club, you get punished severely. I could see, however, that the course could be fun after you have played it a couple times and learn about it. But until then, its brutal.

Another weakness is that you lose lots of balls. I, however, found just as many as i lost, so if you look hard enough, you should come out about even.

The best word to describe this course is gimmicky. I played here because i won a free round, and i'm glad i didn't have to pay. As a first timer on the course, it is virtually impossible to know where you are supposed to hit. They try to make to make it easier, by having the GPS satellites and displays in the carts (i'll get to that later). But even with that, there are too many blind shots and small landing areas. Many times, you can hit the ball exactly where you want to, and it will be in the rough.

Devil's Ridge is in pretty good shape. Some greens are very fast, and others are about average. Overall, the course played very fast. The ball bounced and rolled a lot on the fairways and the greens. It is very hard to hold the greens with anything more than a 7 iron. The tees were not in good shape at all. Often, it was difficult to find a spot to stand without one foot being in someone's divot. And on some holes, the tee's weren't even level.

The club house was very nice.

Course diversity, a good test of golf especially in the wind.

Instead of thinning tree areas, whole wooded areas have been leveled and seeded. This takes character away from some very unique holes,which is sad.

A beautiful course with some truely stunning views. A very nice mix of flat and serious elevation change holes. Maintenance is always up to high standards. Tees are in great condition. Greens are nice but could be faster.The #9 hole is one of the toughest closing holes I've played. Some of the holes like #'s 1,2 &12 every golfer should play at least once.

Good Range, gourgeous clubhouse.

Beuty, condition.

Tough course for high handicappers and those with a low temper threshhold.If you're not on you'll lose lots of golf balls.

Very pretty course in excellent condition. Greens very good but tough to read break right. Accuracy and shot placement very important on most holes due to tigh fairways, deep woods and scrub, water and severe doglegs on some holes. Generally fun if you don't get aggravated easily by your own mistakes. Great views and nice general surroundings. Course being renovated to minimize difficulty on some of the tougher holes.
