Well for starters, my group was not expecting such a challenging course. We played on a weekday, maybe 5 other people on the course. There is only 9 holes so you play them twice, but the holes are challenging with blind shots, uneven lies, and fast greens. The value for the course was tremendous, and was in better condition than other courses I’ve played paying more money. If you’re looking for a challenge give this place a try.
Good for the money
Course is good for the money. The tuff ground makes iron shots in tough, but still manageable. Greens are in good look shape but are very very fast ( ball won't stop on green). But will play this course again. Definitely!!!
Good course for the money
Great course for the money. Good challenge and in pretty good shape. Will definitely play again.
The Rolling Stones
Took 20 min on the first hole because we didn’t know what to shoot at, no signs anywhere or layout of the course/holes. Cart paths nears non existent. Hills are absurd, even you lay up right in front of the green, still might roll down the hill 50 yards.
The course is nice. Some people may balk at playing here but it is alright. The people are friendly. Worth the drive.
Golf is Golf
The course was very brown, choppy and the greens were not smooth. Golf is golf and you still have to put the ball in the hole so given the choice of playing this course or not playing at all I would play this course
Just the start.
The course was apparently bought not long ago by some friends that are trying to bring it back to life. It was a very fun course with some challenging holes. The greens are petite compared to others around which create a more challenging round. It is definitely a goat track at the moment, but definitely one worth the money. I’m curious and excited to see what the new ownership will do to this high potential course.
HUGE IMPROVEMENT
Since the new ownership and staff took over this course, they have made a tremendous difference. I grew up playing this course and it was ok at one time. Then went downhill for years. I’m glad the guys are making it nice again and thank them for not just letting it go like so many other courses close by. And 100% recommend this course to anyone, and see the huge improvements being made. Good Good stuff !!
Good value
Greens are well maintained, excellent pace of play, challenging layout. Looks like the new management is working to improve the overall course condition. Good value for the price. I plan to play there again
Not very good
Fairways are in terrible shape. They put sand on the fairways which is terrible for the grass unless you aerate the fairways first. It was pretty expensive for what the conditions of the course are. Wouldn’t recommend.
I am sorry for your bad experience. Our fairways have been aerated and top dressed. The Bermuda has 90% of the fairways covered. We have the lowest 9 & 18 hole rates in the county. Please understand we took over this course 8 months ago and have invested capital and man hours into this renovation. Please contact me at zach@eliturf.com if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
-Zach
Greens Ok
The greens are alright, but many of the fairways are missing huge swaths of grass. Out of all the bunkers on the course I only noticed sand in 1, all of the rest were hardpack a and weeds.
Thank you for your review!
Please understand that we took over the grounds of this course in December of 2020.
We killed all weeds in the fairway and have aerated and top dressed to encourage the Bermuda to fill in the bare areas. The course had no bunkers upon our arrival and we have plans to reconstruct all of them.
We thank you for your business and welcome you back as our course is improving every week.
