Fun course with interesting layout

With above 50 weather in January, it was nice getting out and playing. Was not expecting much at the last minute, but was pleased with the course. Not really long, but plenty of elevation changes and sharp bends to keep your interest. Being it was January I will not grade the geens/fairway conditions, I assume it's better in season.

Acorns in great shape. But the Metro least bumpkin makes a good day longer with their slow play and nonexistent golf etiquette! If we’ve hit in to you for 8 holes, either speed up or let us thru! And the inability to repair ball marks plagues this entire area, give up the game if you can’t fix them!

Best value course in the area

This is easily one of my favorite courses, I’ve played in several states and pretty much every course in the area. This stands up to be one of the best courses especially considering the money for fees. Only complaint I have is the tee boxes needed a little work, but then again what course doesn’t have that issue. Absolutely love Acorns and will continue to visit for years to come.

Beautiful Fairways and Greens

I arrived early for my 1:10 PM teatime, just as a two person scramble was finishing and went inside and the girl at the counter was working so hard taking care of everyone and wasted no time taking care of me and getting me cleared to play golf. After the scramble, there weren’t that many players out on the golf course, so I really didn’t have to worry about the pace of play. I found the fairways to be well-maintained and the greens were all in great shape. There was water on every four or five holes along with ball cleaners. The cart paths were also in good shape. Lots of trees but fairly wide fairways. Plenty of water and sand traps to get in trouble if your shot slices or hooks. The price is right and the staff was very courteous, so I will be referring this golf courseTo my fellow golfers. To the Acorns staff: thank you for a fun day!

Great Course for the Money!!!

I always enjoy playing this course. It’s always in good shape and the people are nice! Pace of play can be slow at times depending on time of day, but nothing that deters you from enjoying the course. I drive 50 miles round trip to play here and never think twice about it!

Winter golf is better than shoveling snow!

Love Acorns, always in good shape save the ball marks that plague this area, hoping Santa brings all the bumpkins a divot tool for Christmas. Only bummer is the addtn'l charge for a solo cart. Playing with a work buddy, we are not allowed to sit within 6 ft of each other at work, but expected to share a cart, or pay another 10 bucks so we could remain separated seems a little arbitrary especially in December. I completely get it in the spring/summer but December at 1030 9n the morning thinking you may run out of carts when the parking lot by the time we left was 1/8 full is silly.
