Good design, needs maintenance

Course was probably a really nice one at some time. Good design challenges for all levels of players. But now rough fairways and neglected greens. OK for an afternoon but wouldn't be a fav.

Nice course with a lot of tee options!

I enjoyed this course. You do not want to go into the rough since it is very thick with a lot of weeks. There is a big difference in the tee boxes and we chose gold which is still a challenge but not too easy. The greens were great on the back! I had a lot of fun!

Decent Shape

They appear to be doing a pretty good job getting the course in shape. Fairways and greens starting to look pretty good. Sand traps still very bad. Good course for the price.

Good value as hot deal.

Got as a hot deal. Got off early. Check in very

good. Carts very average. Tee boxes little uneven.

Keep it in the fairway as the rough is ROUGH!

Bunkers poor to average. Greens fine with true roll

and consistent from hole to hole.

Good layout, but otherwise disappointing

The course has a great layout with some challenging holes, but conditions were not great. For example, the greens had a huge variation in speed from hole to hole. The chips were often raised, so your ball would veer off or stop right by the cup. Sand traps were hard packed. The rough had a lot of empty spaces so it was like hitting off the sand. Fairways were so-so. Some places were squishy and muddy. In other words: not well kept, and not worth the price they ask.

We got off late because they had no carts ready. When they finally had one, they did not sanitize or wipe down. No covid protocol in place. Very bad.

When we were done, the restrooms were locked up so you couldn't wash up. One man was going against a wall. Wow.

I would highly recommend going elsewhere.
