The worse conditioned golf course ever!

There is not much to say, other then I couldn't even call it a cow pasture. Because cows need grass! Disgusting, don't waste your time or money!

Major Decline

This course used to be a great value only a few short months ago.

Needs a lot of work now. But in all fairness maybe due to the excessive amount of rain lately.

Greens super slow. Fairways in dire need of mowing.

Way too much unkept rough around the greens and off the fairways.

Paid $47 s/b $27.

Disappointed

At $19 to play an 18 hole course looked interesting to me on the internet. Paying another $25 for a cart made it much less attractive. No way I would walk that course. Played as a single in about two hours. Very few other golfers. Course so poorly maintained I really could not appreciate the architect design.

Dissapointed, expensive for low quality

Honest Review

Tee Box's- were mud, messy, untamed, bald.

Fairways- debris covered, untamed, not well kept, a lot of different types of grass in fairways, very messy, lots of bald spots, dirt/mud.

Bunkers- Cement

Greens- ok, bald spots in few holes.

I'd like to try this course again if prices decrease. Online photos are not at all how course looks.

Very disappointed

I’ve played here many times over the years and it was always one of my favorite courses. Reasonably maintained and fun layout. However since the pandemic they have gone downhill with maintaining the course. And most infuriating is they charge $25 now for a cart shared by two golfers. That’s outrageous! Pretty much doubles the hot deals price. For years the cart was included. I doubt I’ll be back.

Hardly a golf course

Pretty good deals for drinks but this was the worst golf course I’ve ever played. I couldn’t find the first tee. The layout is odd, some holes are pretty solid others are just terrible.

You get what you pay for

This course used to be reasonably well maintained but not any longer. I’m not against paying less for a marginal course to get some swings in, but I don’t plan on returning.

Pleasantly Surprised

We played it with low expectations, and were pleasantly surprised. Kind of a quirky course, and hackers abound. My kind of place honestly. Very forgiving, but expect challenging lies. A guy we got paired up with hit a nice 3-wood shot that nailed a squirrel in the fairway, knocking him out (or just still) for about 45 secs, before scampering away. The ball was deflected into a bunker and he bogeyed the hole. The point is, this kind of thing will happen at this course on the daily.

Keep your expectations low.

Course needs a lot of work. The Greens were actually decent but the rest was pretty rough. Very over grown. Keep your expectation low and maybe dont even keep score. Great place to take your kid or someone new to golf. Also dont forget your $1 Domestic Beer after your round

Fun, but could be better

Fairways and greens are okay, definitely could be better, but nice course overall
