Avoid

Avoid this course unless you just want to use driving range. The driving range was the best part of the course. Greens were not taken care of with sand pits in the greens. Pace of play was not good especially because of being behind a group deciding to walk the course who would not allow my group playing at a faster pace to play through.(I don’t have a problem if you choose to walk but please allow faster groups to play through). Also upon checking in at pro shop we were not informed that we would be unable to have refreshments or food for the day as the clubhouse was not open and we were not allowed to have outside food or drinks on the course. For a $55 round with terrible conditions of the course, bad pace or play, and not having the ability to have refreshments it is not worth it.

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.

First Time Playing

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.
