Nice course

Played multiple private courses and this one is pretty good. Course looks well played and greens were not as fast as I would expect. Holes were interesting. Good variations but is you avg over 260 yard drives then you should play the black tees. I played the gold and left with half wedges. Not very interesting. Other than that it is worth playing.

Nicklaus Private Design with amenities

Enjoyed my preview round at Applecross. Nicklaus design courses generally give me trouble due to the very undulating greens. Applecross was no different. Speed of the greens was a little slow but immaculate condition. Most of the course is easy to navigate and to keep your ball in play but as mentioned you have to put your ball on the right green quadrant to avoid 3 putts. Clubhouse has an excellent bar on the top level and the club has an unbelievable pool & fitness center which we did not have an opportunity to use. If the course was anywhere close to my home I would consider membership. Enjoyed my visit!

Apple criss Cross

nice course. there are many nice courses in the area. there is little to no awareness that golf pass players might actually be interested in joining the club. There was very little help to find anything. (range, first tee, locker room etc). we never actually found the practice green. it was full of members who knew where to go, but no one really said.. hey. can I help you find something. there are very little signs to find where to go, eventually the bar tender was pretty nice.

Beautiful course

I love this course. It is somewhat tough but was in great shape. The fairway and greens are perfect. My only complaint is that the signage needs to be improved

July 4th

Have been aware of Applecross for a while now. With its recent addition to Golfnow, finally got my opportunity to play. The hot deal was a bit more then I’m use to paying to play anywhere, but to play a new course for me and not have to drive a couple hours made it worth while.
Not sure what to say. When I do pay around $100 to play a course, I expect almost perfection. The handful of times I’ve done it, I’ve been disappointed. Applecross was as close as I’ve played. . I didn’t feel like I was overcharged, and I’ll probably be looking for another day to try to improve on my 91 from the gold/blue hybrid tees. Probably about 6100 yards.

Country Club Treatment

Wonderful opportunity to play a private course in amazing conditions. After teeing off and playing the 1st hole alone, I was joined by a course regular. Doug was a huge help in providing me with local course knowledge.
The course conditions were top notch. The layout and views are amazing. And a 3 hour round was perfect.
I highly recommend playing this tract.
