Not good

Fairways were cut but clippings everywhere . Roughs haven’t been cut in a while . Whole place was just shabby . Not worth the $25.00 . Will never be back . Cart died on # 16 had to walk back to clubhouse . They didn’t have anyone available to come pick us up .

Course in bad shape

Never quit a course let alone before the turn. Roughs are just way over grown hit a ball 5 feet off fairway gone. Took me playing alone 2 hours to clear 8 holes due to searching for my ball in a green side bunker. Decided to play here because it was cheap now I know why. However the money spent on lost balls I could have played a much nice well kept facility

Mow your grass

Not everybody is a scratch golfer. The grass as soon as you leave the fairway is 8 to 12 inches tall. In the pro shop they jokingly said keep it in the fairway. What he meant to say was take a extra sleeve of balls with you.

Deep rough

Most of the sand trap are overgrown with grass and weeds. The fairways and greens were in good condition, but if you got off the fairway, it was likely a lost ball, because the rough was so tall.

Ruff beyond words!!!

There’s only one course that I have ever played worse than this one. Losing balsa after hitting the fairways is ridiculous. Between thick grass clippings all over and six inch high grass in the middle of the fairways we lost sleeves of balls. Greens were no better, dead spots and, once again grass clippings all over them. Hope this was just a bad day for the course, we would love to come back.

Ridiculous

The course didn’t have enough golf carts and had to wait two hours. And the course did not look like it’s been mowed in three days. You could not see your ball in the fairway.

This course might be older, but the design is definitely challenging, and they are currently doing great improvements and upgrades. Keep a eye of this course!!!

Great course, great price, overgrown though

Robo mowers deployed to handle a golf course? Don't seem to be keeping up. Rough is very overgrown, fairways patchy in places- lost a ball in the middle of the fairway (found it!). Played here many times, usually in better shape but it is the heart of summer and things are growing well, so don't hit the rough and you'll be great
