$290 for a novelty course. Packed tee times, 5 hour round. Cart “Boy” not cart girl. Could’ve played 3 nice courses for this price in the same area. It is a pretty course but not worth the money. If you like spending a lot of money to shoot 10+ strokes over your handicap then this is your course.

Would give 10 stars if able. I've played Pebble, Old Course, Kapalua, Carnoustie, and some other heavy hitter courses. I'm not flexing, just providing some background. Tobacco Road is among the top 5. If I shed historical cachet, and being honest with myself, Top 3. It is an amazing venue. Everything is just perfect. Love the giant waste areas, the odd-shaped and challenging greens, and the tee boxes being marked with farm implements. The spicy dog at the turn also added to the experience. Clubhouse is perfect for the course and the staff were friendly. I couldn't give you a favorite hole. I need to come back and figure that out. All of them were amazing. Probably the par 5 with the hidden green next to the Tobacco Road sign, if I had to pitch one out. We can't wait to go back again. This is my 4th Strantz course, and with Tot's Farm, one of my very favorites.

This was one of the nicest and toughest golf courses I've ever played. The waste areas were extremely challenging and the elevation changes and blind shots made position important. Can't wait to play it again.

Just played Tobacco Road and… WOW. Felt like golfing on another planet! Every hole was wild, beautiful, and unforgettable — especially the 1st, 2nd, 13th and 14th!
I've been itching to play the course ever since I heard about it on the potcast: "Chasing Scratch." (I even successfully tried the intimidating Chasing Scratch-Mike & Eli bomb drive on 13th to cut the hole in half 😅).
Staff was amazing, and everything was unreal. Already planning my next trip. If you’re a golfer, this place is a must. #TobaccoRoad #ChasingScratch

In the Top 5 of best golf courses I've ever played. The Fairways and greens were immaculate and greens were rolling perfect.
First time playing here but my playing partner has played it several times so he was able to guide me on where some shots needed to land.
Definitely playing again. Staff was great. Great golfing experience.
