“Scenic course with lots of elevation changes.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2012

Scenic course with several unusual holes, tailored more for scenery as opposed to quality golf holes. Challenging with narrow fairways and thick rough. Fairways and greens okay, but turf and greens pretty average. More

“Good Course TERRIBLE SERVICE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The General is a nice course, but the customer service is HORRIBLE!!!! It's obvious that they do not care about any repeat business!!! The manager there, Mike, is totally rude and when I asked to speak to his supervisor, I was told he did not have one, that he "runs" the resort. No wonder they are losing business! More

“Course in terrible shape!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The General is a challenging and beautiful golf course. However, because of the large amount of rain within the last couple of weeks it needs a lot of repair. There also appears to be a problem with many of the greens and tee boxes. Many have brown areas or dead grass. Far too expensive for the conditions at this course. More

“Challenging, upscale courses”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2011

The 3 courses are all very challenging. The General requires your "A Game". A bit pricey even if you are on site unless you have a package deal. More
