Greens Not in Good Shape

The fairways were in good condition and maintained. The greens are lost to crabgrass patches on every hole making it difficult to put on smooth surface.

Greens are unplayable.

The lack of care on the greens over the last few months really shows. Every green was basically dirt and patches of crab grass, EVERY SINGLE ONE. Midway through the round, I quit even trying to read putts because it all came down to luck depending on how the patches of crab grass would divert each roll. Fairways were fine but I’m not sure how the course justifies raising their prices for unplayable greens.

Beware of greens

The greens are overgrown, patchy and weeded out.

It could be a great course if your score wasn’t ruined by awful greens. Also should advertise their conditions before charging 60$ for unplayable greens, sand traps and many other things.

Not Worth the Money

I've played this course before but had forgotten. The price was the same as its sister course Meadow Farms. I made the wrong choice. I should've know because upon entering the clubhouse I asked for a monogrammed ball. The attendant told me they didn't have any and get this; he said the don't like to spend money at this course. I've never been to a course where the attendant spoke with such candor. Course conditions were bad and I'd probably never play here again.

Too slow on pace

Three hours in on the back nine,following real old walking golfer, was taking the fun out of playing. Remember walking, fishing the ball out of the water or looking for it in the woods. Not a good afternoon.

Great Local Find

I recently relocated to the area and was really pleased to find this course. The staff was very helpful and the course well maintained. It will be even better when the 19th hole is open for business.

Good place to catch a round.

This was my second time playing here. I've only been playing for a few years. Good course cart paths are a little rough and some of the hole are a little short in my opinion. But I will come back and play I had a good time it wasn't to busy when I was there.
