Large Groups

Course was in decent condition but Marshalls need to stop large groups from playing together.

AVOID

For $35 and half of the greens were temporary. Legit putting on the fairway. I would understand for $15 a round. They are trying but avoid for now amd let.it get back into shape.

Greens still need work

Same thing different day. The greens are better than the last time but still have the same fungus they’ve had for the past three years. Kill the fungus then replant them. Maybe it’s time for a new greens keeper and course manager.

Greens are bad! Rest of the course is in good shape. This was a great place when the greens were good. Hopefully they can fix the problem

DONT PLAY HERE TILL ANOTHER YEAR

This course was atrocious! Greens were cooked. Sandy greens I wouldn’t even call greens. We were putting on a beach! Some of the holes had the effin fairways as their green! I’m not saying this a god awful course because a year before it was a decent course with decent greens. Now is a different story. I’m just hoping they fix their greens but until then do not come here.

Greens are dead

Barth has unfortunately been lost. The greens are absolutely screwed and they all need to be completely regrassed. It used to be a solid track for a deal but now it’s just a goat ranch. Sad to see. Fairways are OK if you just want to work on ball striking, and there’s a grass range too.

Greens are HORRID

Do not play right now. The greens are completely dirty. Not worth $48 to play . Credit Card machine was not working so I had to pay cash which seemed shady. First time at course. Golf carts were fine and so is the range. Course layout is nice.

Wait till greens return.

Dead Greens

Staff was awesome. From check-in to food to course Marshall. Unfortunately, the greens are dead. More brown than green. Rest of the course was fine; just frustrating trying to putt. Finished 9 holes in less than an hour, so you can’t beat that pace of play. The price was low to play so I can’t really complain about the condition.
