Value course

Great price. The course could use some work overall.. Overall the tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in pretty rough shape. I’ve always supported the course but needs an overhaul to keep people coming back.

Hit deal maybe but take a lunch

I wasn’t sure of course drove a hour, want be back first thing was no range balls, my son loves to warm up at a range , no range balls, then no carts no, five minutes after my tee time finally got a cart . My tee time was taken by the person behind me he had a cart. My son and I made the best of our day together. Nice people but I thing they were overwhelmed today.

Not great

Hadn’t gotten to play in a while. Sun came out on a Saturday and I started looking for a last minute round. Not a lot available on Saturdays so I went with this place bc they had plenty of times available. Based on this and previous reviews my expectations weren’t very high. And the course just about met my expectations. It’s not in very good shape. A lot of weeds everywhere. Greens with a lot of Poa in them. Slow and bumpy in spots. The layout is actually pretty interesting. Very hilly and a lot of elevation changes. But it’s in such rough shape right now. It needs alot of work in order to be in good shape. And they are doing some work. Bc there was heavy machinery sitting in the middle of the 17th fairway. I probably won’t go back unless in the same boat where I’m looking for a cheaper last minute round at a busy time.

Needs Work

Course needs some work. Fairways are patchy and made up more of clumps of grass on a lot of holes rather than a consistent lawn. Greens need the most work though. Lots of bad spots on them and almost no grass to hold the ball from just rolling forever even on good shots. I did see the course seems aware of these issues and is addressing them, so hopefully that happens by the next time I try to play again.

You get what you pay for.

The course is one of those unplanned golf day courses. It’s laid back so don’t tuck your shirt in. I’ve seen the course in better condition. It recently sold and they have tried to update a few things but it seems like they started a new project before finishing the previous one. Make sure you bring your own tees and balls unless you want to play with Walmart balls. The course layout isn’t bad. If you are playing with a friend who’s hitting top flight irons this is the perfect place to shank em.

Good value but...

Staff was friendly but that's about where the good ended. Driving range was hidden, hard to find, and pretty rough. Carts were in rough shape. Course and paths were as well. Lots of hills and hidden greens. Was a reasonable value for the money but probably won't play again.

This course is much improved from the last time we played here. We did have to wait because of a tournament, and ended up being rained out. Staff was very friendly and gave us a rain check for 9 holes. Overall good experience
