Course Conditions
Tee boxes and sand traps need support from staff. Greens and fairways were in great shape. I'll be back for sure after having 5 birdies.
Jekyll and Hyde
The back nine.... not a fan. Tee boxes, unmanaged rough etc.
Now, the front nine! Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful opening hole slight dog leg right, jumping right into a great par 3 over a hazard followed by a stunning par 5 leading into what i could only describe as 4 consecutive "links" style holes! 8th hole is dangerous and likely to have you layup. Small green tucked way in the back. Great hole! finishing on 9, not an easy one. Drastically up hill with a green that runs a mile south, and fast!
Overall, we will be back to play the front 9.
Biggest plus to the course, the hospitality! honestly felt like chatting it up with an old friend.
The greens
Overall good shape. Emphasis on attention to the greens would help. Players should be encouraged to repair divots on the greens.
Nice play...
I enjoyed getting back to this course. I played very well and enjoyed my time there.
Dishonest Management/Poor Course
4 golfers, tee time 1p. All of the course is in poor shape, tee boxes to greens. Be advised when booking tee time that carts have to be back at the clubhouse by 430p whether your finished or not. It would be great to know before spending the money at least to be able to make a decision. Not worth your time, you are not missing anything and there are plenty of courses around that allow a patron to finish a round of golf. Pretty sneaky to offer PM tee times to take your money prior to advising you you likely won't finish.
Good value
Fairways very good and challenging. Greens not in great shape. Very good environment.
Please Close
Just shut it down. Plow it under and build houses or something. The owners have clearly given up; the restaurant is abandoned, the "pro shop" is basically empty. There are no greens, just patches of weeks with dirt.
A few years ago we were playing this course every week; it was in great shape. Now it is worse than Lee's Hill. and that's saying ALOT.
Greens are terrible
Greens all bumpy from dead spots all greens . Can barely get a 1 foot putt to go straight . It’s a shame cause it’s a fun course to play . Please aerate the greens and sand them . Could be such a nice course . Also, the bar and grill is abandon . What the heck is wrong with these owners
Greens
Meadow farms is doing a great job bring this course back.
Good course but poorly marked
We had a very good outing but even with the guidebook we had a lot of trouble going from green to tee. Couldn’t someone take a little paint and put some direction arrows and hole numbers on the cart paths? But we enjoyed being practically the only golfers on the course. The greens are in good condition but the fairways were less so.
STAFF IS A JOKE
I had friends come in from out of state and we decided to play this course. We booked a tee time for 4 people on a rainy day it was around $140. The course was not too bad, honestly a fun interesting course. Hot dogs at the turn were $4.50 each… Kind of ridiculous but we bought like 7 at the turn. This is the best part, the kind young man told us that they had a junior tournament at 4:30 and to “try and finish before then.” We were told that if we were caught in the tournament it would take us a long time to finish because we would have to wait on the younger kids. We finish the course, return the golf carts 5:15. There was no children’s tournament and on the way home we received a call from the manager banning us and he assures us the police are on there way to trespass us. I don’t know what the miscommunication was between their employees but the way the manager acted was completely unprofessional and honestly pretty pathetic. IN HIS ONLY DEFENSE drizzling and there was mud so the carts certainly did not come back “showroom floor condition.” No excuse for the pathetic treatment. I would love to come back to the course if the staff wasn’t to misguided!!! Not to mention we drove an hour what a joke!
Green greens greens
Well for the end of March the Bermuda fairways were in good shape. better than Meadows and LOW. The aprons were better than Meadows but the greens were in terrible shape. The poa and lack of bent grass made the greens like putting on the moon!! Craters everywhere!! They were cut short but if not going to work on the bumps it’s just too much to score. Take two and go to the next tee box. Need a person who can bring the greens back and it will be a great course!
Dont Let this Golf Course Go
This has always been a good and fun course to play that has had it unfortunate up and downs over the last couple of years. Over all the course is in good condition for the price, but they really need to save the greens, it looks like they might be letting them go, and they are really not that bad that they could be repaired with a little love like a good punch and topdress.
What happned???
This course uaed to be in such a good condition but what in the world happened??
Tee boxes are still ok [was much better but still good] and fairway is average condition for February. But, WHAT IN THE WORLD happened to the Green???
You have to give yourself a 2 putts on every hole since it's Not Puttable.
Hidden Gem!
Pro shop lady is awesome. She went up and beyond for my 2some double booking on GolfNow.com. Got me a refund and excellent customer service. Without her, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy this quiet and relaxing course.
We love the course. The greens need some love but it’s November and the staff do their best with what they have and that’s why we keep coming back. Any complaints can suck it and play elsewhere. Thank you.
Greens are terrible
The greens are dying and have ball marks all over them, you can’t putt without it bouncing off marks in the green. Looks like people hit shots off the green and left huge divots. They close at 4:30 which makes no sense, considering it doesn’t get dark until 8. It’s almost like they don’t want to make any money.
great course
This was my first time golfing here, and I love this course. The staff was very friendly. The golf patrons were friendly too, everyone expected each other. the course condition was good in my eyes; yes the tee box, green and fairway has weeds, but so what, all other course I played in my area were like this, but extremely expensive. I love this course, and will definitely come a few times more before the golf season ended.
