Way overpriced considering the conditions!

Course layout was challenging. Tee times packed but pace of play was a little above average. Course was in horrible shape! Several greens had large patches with no grass, putts were bumpy brown patches. Only distinction between fairway and rough is the rough is taller. Same type of grass in fairway as tough. Erosion patches in fairways. Hit a drive in the fairway and have to find a patch of grass to sit the ball on. I purchased at Hot Deal for $35 and didn’t feel it was even worth that. I play about twice a week and have played other courses in FAR better shape than this one for about $10 more than the Hot Deal. Would not recommend if you’re even a half serious golfer. Serious golfer, definitely not.

Repair your divots!

Relatively short course from the blues and very forgiving of those wayward tee shots. Fairways and tee boxes in relatively good condition but the greens were divot ridden, really don’t understand why people can’t repair their divots?!

Good fun course to play with the boys, will be playing again

Great round

This course is generally busy, I expect to be patient. But Sunday morning had perfect weather and I was bookended with players moving at the same speed.

I shot my best round!

Eh

Staff was really friendly but this simply is not a nice course especially for what you pay. It should be like 15 dollars. Too much for this course, which is in pretty poor condition

Course information

When we paid no instructions were provided about how to get carts. The staff could do a better job providing golfers with the order status for carts. We apparently took a cart out of order so others had to wait longer.
