Don’t come here

The course is cash only. In 2025 that is extremely inconvenient. The range balls are absolute garbage. The practice green does not allow chipping so you cannot practice chipping at a pin at all. The greens were quite possibly the worst greens Ive ever played on. Don’t waste your time or money playing here.

Was not informed cash only

I made an online booking with this course, and when I get there they tell me it's cash only. They do not have an ATM machine. I had to miss my tee time, and hopefully not charged anymore money on my card. Poor service. Then you can't get back into the Golf Now app to pay the full amount to keep your reservation.

Greens are beat up

Greens are in much worse shape than the last time I played the course. Lots of dead spots. Rest of the course is in pretty nice shape.

Great value

Course was in good condition for time of year, walking rate of $30 is a great value. Remember to bring cash and that you pay at course, not on this app.

FAIR CIURSE

Course is fair when in decent shape. At present the greens are in bad shape thus hampering play.

It’s a Municipal Course

Should have known. People working here that have no idea what they are doing. “Marshall” pulls up to you in the fairway and pulls off right in your backswing. Yeah, gas carts to boot. We started 35 min after our tee time. A single, a threesome, and another single. No attempt to pair them up. Conditions on the greens were not much more than painted sand. All in all, terrible.
