Conditions poor
Green aerated and sandy,
Bunkers had no sand just mud.
Pace of play terribly slow.
Needs help
The kid in the pro shop needs a course on friendliness. Usually the older gentleman is very friendly. Some cart path areas could be better, the greens would be good if they had someone go out and blow them off, as every time you putt there’s a 100 different things all over them and makes it impossible to have a straight putt because of hitting obstacles along the way. Soccer holes interfere with putting as well. I’ve golfed here many times and there’s always something that needs to change.
Great 9 hole course
As a beginner golfer this course offers a good challenge due to the hilly terrain and fairways, but includes very friendly greens. Friendliest staff I have ever encountered.
9th hole
The ninth fairway is blocked by hanging trees branches. It is only a 80 yard shot to the green. Though, you can not just hit a straight as there is a elevation difference. You need to pray you hit it through the branches and onto the green. Needs to be fixed. Bunkers are not a traditional bunker. Hard sand, never play them.
A waste
This short 9 hole will be over before you know it, especially since there are no signs at the tee boxes to tell you hole number and yardage. Tee boxes were chewed up, rough was VERY rough, and the staff was rather uptight for a course that allows footgolf. Your money will be poorly spent and you will go home unsatisfied.
Staff was not friendly at all. Acting like a strict marshall.
