This very scenic course has some rolling terrain that can cause uneven lies, but most of the terrain is flat. The fairways are mostly wide open, and there are only a few sand bunkers. The greens are average-sized and some of them are undulating. There are ponds and creeks that come into play on five holes. The most challenging hole is #3, a 458-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot up a slight dogleg left fairway with a large cedar tree in the middle, and an approach shot that must be hit over or around the tree to one of the smaller greens on the course. You will need to bring a valid driver's license to enter the base.

good course, Mar 17, 2005

reviewer: usshecuba1 from Meridian, MS

It is a good golf course for an average or beginning golfer like myself. If you have a 200-250 yard drive this course will be easy.

nice course, Jun 17, 2004

reviewer: dmcdill from meridian, ms

I am about a 15 handicap and I play this course quite often. It is challenging for the average golfer like myself. The length of the fairways put a premium on long drivers but the width also gives some relief for the hooks and slices. Small greens but not many hazards to contend with.

i learned to play here, Apr 16, 2004

reviewer: Erik from Pearland, TX

this course puts a premium on good shotmaking. the fairway usually plays very easily, while shots that get off to the sides and under the trees really punish players where the lies can be uneven and difficult to make an easy shot to the green. the greens are small and unprotected, giving players the opportunity to recover from shots that miss by a few feet.

"Best Bargin Around"
Excellent course for the average golfer to play. The condition is average, but for the price and playability you just can't beat it.

Briar Creek Golf Course
"Enjoy Golf Again or The Way Golf Used To Be"
Briar Creek Golf Course is a fun course to be played by both medium and high handicap golfers. Its layout is a chalenging mix of 18 holes fit in a flat land leading up to the creek with hillside on the other side of the creek. Several ponds and sandtraps provide hazards to avoid while the greens are usually the best in the area. The drawback is its distance at only 5300+ yards and so low handicap golfers should play it but only to enjoy the chance at chasing a par round of 70. The true delight of this courses is its playability and round playing time of around 4hrs. There is no long slow play at Briar Creek due to its layout. The three finishing holes on the front nine include an par 3 island green, a drivable par 4 with trouble to the right and "catcher's mitt" sandtrap to the left and a par 3 number nine. These three can yield 3 birdies or a bogey or two. The back nine has a similar opportunity for success or failure with a short par 5 number 15 which with a good second shot has you shooting for eagle or a bad second shot gets sucked into the creek and you are fighting for bogey or worse. Number 16 is an uphill par 3 that winds will control alot of your success followed by a downhill par 4 number 17 that I consider the course's signature hole. A tiny green that seems to be drivable but you must carry a pond and a creek so a 5 wood or a mid iron off the tee is best to a landing area between the two water hazards. The final hole number 18 is a dog-legged left par 5 with plenty of yardage and trees. The greatest part about Briar Creek is that its fun to play with great people and well maintained greens. The way golf used to be!!

Allegheny Country Club
"Love It!"
Allegheny offers a very private, and enjoyable experience. The course is rarely busy, and offers a real challenge with the short stick. Many of the holes are a bit short, but if you can't putt, you will not score well. The ground are kept in immaculate condition, and the scenery, especially on the back nine, is breathtaking.
