The Pack House Snack Bar (Located inside Clubhouse)

The Pack House offers pre-made to-go sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Items include a pulled pork sandwich, pimento cheese, egg salad, chicken salad, bratwursts and our signature “Spicy Dog.” We have a wide selection of beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks to go along with chips and snacks. An on-course beverage cart will run daily weather permitting.

Dress Code

In keeping with the traditions of the game, we believe proper golf attire enhances the overall player experience. Proper golf attire to include collared shirts and appropriate pants or shorts with a belt are recommended. Sweatpants, athletic shorts, denim of any kind, and open-toe shoes are not allowed on the course or practice facilities at any time.

Pace of Play

To ensure a great experience for all guests, we ask that you keep your pace of play in mind and keep up with the group ahead of you. Our expected pace is 4 hours 40 minutes. Player Assistants will be available to help assist you through your round.

On Course Courtesies

Cell phones, smart phones, and Bluetooth devices are allowed at Tobacco Road. We ask that they be kept at a volume as to not infringe upon other guests.

Tobacco Road provides a pure golf experience played on a Mike Strantz Signature design. We ask that all players repair ball marks on the greens, fill divots in the fairways and on tee boxes with provided sand mixture. Please adhere to cart path rules and regulations for your safety and respect for course conditions.

Practice Facilities

Tobacco Road offers a full-size practice range, chipping area, and putting green. During winter months and when course conditions dictate, players will be required to use driving range mats.

Tobacco Road’s Local Rules

  • To help with your experience at Tobacco Road, all golf cars have been equipped with GPS to help you navigate the course. For the more traditional player, a yardage book is available for purchase in the golf shop.
  • Tobacco Road has no Out of Bounds.
  • Golf cars must enter and exit fairways through Bermudagrass or over cross ties only.
  • All sand areas are to be played as waste areas. The club may be grounded, a practice swing taken, and imperfections smoothed. The ball may be played Lift, Clean, and Place. Improve your lie but not your position. There are a few rakes located near some greenside waste areas.

Weather

Weather, in all its unpredictable forms, is knit into the fabric of the game – plan ahead for any inclement weather conditions as play will continue under most conditions, i.e. cold, fog, rain, heat. Due to inclement weather or conditions leading to course closure, rain checks will be issued to guests who are unable to complete their rounds (rain checks are non-transferable). The value of the rain check is pro-rated based on the rate the guest paid to play and the number of holes completed that day. No refunds will be issued.
