Wow $20 cart fee!

I initially booked a round without a cart. It was hot and I decided to get a cart. They charged me $20 for a cart that was old and didn’t even drive straight.

Bunkers in awful condition

The course was in a rough condition. The rough varied from very tall grass, to dirt, to lots of holes. The greens were in decent shape. The Tee Boxes were fine. Where the real trouble at this course is their bunkers. They need to either place some sand and remove all the weeds from the bunkers or just get rid of them all together. As the bunkers stand they are unplayable, almost like they should all be considered ground under repair.

Excellent value

Fun and challenging course that could be great if they put some effort into it. The bunkers are full of weeds but greens were in excellent condition considering the drought. Carts are old but work just fine, cart paths are pretty bumpy at times so carts take a beating. Staff is very friendly. I rented clubs which were an old mismatched set but we’re playable and cheap. Would play again if I’m ever in the area again. Nice views from several holes. Played in just under 3 hours.

A chance to work on your swing

Course is okay. Price with cart is good. If you looking for great to perfect course conditions, go elsewhere. If you want practice you game on a target golf course, this course is made for that.
