C'mon Guys! Do something about your greens!

Sneaky tough even though it's not long because of the small, mushroomed greens...Plenty of water, bunkers, and trees to make you think out there! Still a great value for a decent layout and a quick round, but the ownership HAS TO put a little bit of time or money back into the course to fix the greens! Most of them weren't even puttable.

Horrible conditions

Greens were terrible like putting on bumpy concrete. They’ve been this way for quite a while.

Cow Pasture

The course would be such a great course if they would only do something with their greens. They are patchy, dead and hard as concrete.

Nice place to play....

The course is improving under the new ownership. Still need work on the greens and the bunkers. The layout is fun to play and the staff is great. Will definitely play again.

Good not great

Some fairways not cut, greens have a lot of bad spots. Most hole positions where away from damaged greens. Decent course. Just needs some attention to greens and fairways. Also couldn't play one hole, Sprinklers came on while on tee box we hit had to run to pick up balls to avoid sprinklers. Water was puddling on green unable to put

Keep Driving

Keep driving right past the pines to somewhere else. Anywhere you go north south east or west, you’re sure you get a much better value than this place. Layout is fun and challenging but uneven tee boxes, long fairways, bunkers mind as well not even be there and patchy unreceptive greens make the course very unenjoyable. The course has continuely raised greens fees and the conditions have steadily gone down hill. Travel 45 minutes any direction and pay the same or less for FAR better golf! Save your time and money, go elsewhere.

What happend to the Greens?

The fairways need trimming, the Greens need grass support, and the hole needs to be updated to accommodate the ball; most holes have not been redone in weeks.

Nice course but in bad shape

This used to be a beautiful course but the greens

are in really bad shape and the tee boxes weren’t cut .

.

I was disappointed since this course was always a nice course to play.

Never again

Unfortunately this course has taken a steep nose dive. The fairways had not been cut in awhile, and the ones that had been cut this morning had streaks everywhere and grass clippings all over the place.

Last time I’m playing for the price they charge. A shame my “home” course has turned into nothing more than a backyard with a few pins.

Disappointed

This course used to be super nice. Today’s round was a major disappointment with the fairway grass being extremely tall. The crabgrass has taken over as well. Greens are not terrible, but have some spots that need a little love.

Overall it’s likely my last time playing my “home” course as the price has risen while the quality of the facility has fallen.

Friendly staff though…no complaints there!

Needs maintenance

The greeens are 1/4 dead with brown spots. The biggest issue was fairways were not cut and grass was so thick. Lost 3 balls in the middle of fairway because we couldn’t find them in the grass. Grass was same height as someone growing fescue front lawn 4-5” thick.
