The General Golf Course

"The General Golf Course Rogersville, Alabama 35652 We played The General for the first time during a recent visit to Joe Wheeler State Park and must offer, the course played beautifully, in great shape for the month of October and the Clubhouse folks were friendly and personable. Our golfing experience was top notch! Overall, the fairways are in great shape - not the most challenging, but will keep you interested. Not much water or water features, fairways are somewhat straight with a little wiggling and curves to keep you from just hitting all out and following your ball. The Tee Boxes are set appropriately; with the red markers allowing for a good advantage. Boxes are in good shape - level and well maintained. Greens were slow but in good shape. Fairway grass was green and well manicured. With long fairways, the low handicap players would be reaching the greens in two - the remaining golfers in three or more. The second cut is decent and low enough that you won’t be losing balls. The most challenging part of the course for us was the approach shots to the green - the layouts made it tough, but the greens are of size and slow enough the ball does stick. When we played their was sod along much of the cart paths - did not inter with play, but instead showed course improvements and the hard work by the grounds maintenance Team. Water jugs and ball washers were filled, trash cans emptied - very clean. Club house Team were friendly, hot dogs, beverages and resale items were stocked. We would definitely recommend playing the course and whenever we are back in the Huntsville area we will play again."

"If you have not been her in a while or you are passing thru please stop. The course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Greens are great and the fairways have always been good. The super is doing a great job on more than likely modest budget. Could be one of the best courses in north Alabama, try it you will like it."

"Very nice course. Lots of elevation changes. Wildlife present. Quiet and serene."

"The general has several rates to play golf. If you are part of the "Anderson Group" you pay a lower rate than the rest of us. I have asked the cashier why and he referred to the director who says they get a special rate on Monday & Wednesday to generate more play. In my opinion everyone should have to pay the same amount with exceptions to REAL tournaments and Seniors. And if they are wanting to increase play they should focus on improving the course. This seems to be the answer for the better courses. Build and they will come !"

"Overall it's a great course when it's manicured correctly . Right know it's in great condition. The only thing I have bad to say about it is that the greens are hard and it's tough to get anything hold unless it a full shot in and even then cam still be very challenging . Rain helps soften it sometimes But they have come a long way over the last couple of years. The Greens will continue to get softer over the next few years if taken care of correctly and then I would give it 5 stars considering the Good prices."
