Greens need help!

The course is a fun one. Unfortunately, the greens are anything but green...lumpy and bumpy. Perhaps the grass has not yet come in...?

Good fairway conditions, but greens could not use some attention

We played in a twosome and pace was great. Greens had some bare patches and a few crabgrass clumps. Overall, the course is acceptable but not stellar.

First Time Playing

Course from tips longer then yardage

The course is a very good layout. Elevations can be severe. Lots of doglegs left and right. Don't be misled by yardage book. It will play longer. I'm a plus handicap golfer and you can go below par. As a 1st time player, not knowing layout, you can get caught in wrong placement of the ball. But landing areas a wider then you anticipate when you get to location. Fade and draw skills off the tee are needed from the tips. Greens were no where perfect, but all greens speed was consistent throughout. Pace of play was atrocious. Just awful. Easy 5 hr round. Allowing 5 some and not running strict pace of play made it at the end unbearable. Course can be a gem but until they crack down on pace, it will not draw really good golfers from outside of locals.

Sad

I bet this was a gem in its day. The layout is good, the people are friendly,, the price is cheap. Th be fare, great sand in the otherwise unmanicured traps. The subdivision and the course feel as if they are both near death.

Pace of play

We were behind a 5-some and they could have picked up the pace a little as we were a foursome. Nobody in front of them. There was a twosome behind us. When we finished 18 we noticed the 5-some started again on number one! Members? Greens still pretty lumpy.

I could not recommend this course to a friend. Greens were terrible the amount of Poana that is growing and made putting very difficult. Fairways were in poor condition as with conditions around the green also were very poor. It’s a nice layout but the course just needs a lot of fertilizer a lot of weed and feed and a lot of water.

Fun Course

Really enjoyed playing this course. I’m going to say that you have to place every shot and prepare for a bunker shot if you don’t hit the green. Tee boxes are super hard but flat. I can deal with finding a soft spot when the tee box is flat. Practice area has everything you need and well maintained. Driving range is short, so no drivers. Can’t wait to play again and see how much better the course gets as summer approaches.
