Absolute dog 💩

Greens are dog 💩

Fairways are dog 💩

Greens are dog 💩

Wish I was exaggerating. For the condition, the course is a $40 round MAX. No foundation under the ball, not even on the tee box. It’s like putting a tee into sand. Patchy fairways, greens covered in sand traps too. If you work there and are reading this please get in touch about refunding my $65.

Nice lay out but poor conditions.

Last minute find for an early tee time. Should have known for $50 at 7:24 am something was wrong. 2nd group out so we played in little over 3 hours so pace was not an issue. However, tee boxes had weeds and greens were not in just as poor.

Nice layout

For the money, ok

The greens are poor

There’s several areas on most green that are sand & unplayable in these areas

If the greens were better I’d definitely play it again!

Wide open

Course was in such bad shape that I considered asking for my money back. Greens were spotty, punched and a mixture of matted down dirt and grass. T boxes were in good shape mostly but the fairways were in sorry shape with spots of grass. If it were a perfect weather day I would still have the same thoughts. Finally we traveled just shy of 70 miles to play this course. Never again.

Hugely disappointing.

What happened? Played here two years ago on this course. A good layout that NOW is so poorly conditioned and managed that it will get a no return on this end. A group of four teeing off ahead of us that was giving lessons on the course to two first time persons that had never played before. No course ranger or starter.

After 6 holes and 2 1/2 hours we had to skip ahead a hole to get relief of waiting on every shot and playing at 20 minutes per hole. No cart concession person or ranger. Greens absolutely terrible, knobs of grass and bare spots on every hole. Good luck.

Course Rating

The course is a cow pasture and the greens are unfit for putting. It’s awful and a waste of time and money, this course should not be listed on golf now.

It was the worst course I have ever played in my entire

Play it and see if you feel the same way, wait let me save you some money, don’t waste hard earned money.

This course looks like they are trying to let it go to sell it to developers.

JUST TERRIBLE

Played a lot of not-so-great courses while snow birding but this was the worst. T boxes in bad shape, fairways, if lucky to find a sliver of grass, and the worst THE GREENS. And I should have figured out when I drove in, and parking lot was just about empty. If you play it after you read my review, don't say I didn't tell you.

Course conditions

Fairways were in good shape as long as you roll the ball. Rough was all sand and weeds and the greens were very patchy and bumpy. Some bare spots on the greens. I've always heard courses make their money on greens so it was very disappointing.

Not worth the money

None of the greens were even remotely close to be acceptable. They seem to not have been watered for months and there was so much fungus, sand, crevices, etc.

Disappointing

Stuck with two macho men who should take golf lessons, They were all over the course with each shot and held up play. Need to learn manners as well since they played their radio and one was on his cell phone constantly. Talked loudly while the one woman was teeing off as well as when she was in the fairway (the few times they placed their shots in bounds! Fairways and especially the greens needed watering. Too bad as the area was scenic with some great homes.

Awful Conditions

Course is not worth a single penny in the current shape, greens are dead and uneven, if you aren’t in the fairway it’s basically sand/weeds you’re hitting out of. Go elsewhere.
