Played here for the first time on Fri., Sept 11 and came away very impressed. They have a nice practice facility and the large putting green is right beside the first tee.
I played from the Gold tee's which are just under 7,000 yards but only have a slope of 125. There are some long-ish carries from the back but all in all it wasn't too difficult.
Tee decks were very nice and so were the fairways and greens. Actually, the greens were some of the best I've played this year...at least for putting. I think they were top dressed recently and therefore didn't hold very well but they rolled very true. The course appears to be maintained very well since there were few marks on the greens and fewer left unrepaired.
Some very scoreable holes and a nice layout. Not having played here didn't put me at too much of a disadvantage as most of the holes have a fairly straight-forward design. That's not to say there aren't some questions from the tee you might have but it's nothing to worry about.
Disappointed I didn't get out and play Copetown sooner and really hope to get another opportunity before the season is finished. This is a very nice course and shouldn't be looked over.
