It’s definitely a good bang for your buck. The greens are in really good shape and bite pretty well. The pace of play can definitely get really bad sometimes. Especially when there is a tournament. I’ve expressed in the past that they should be charging more for the tournament, and have 2-3 less tee times for the public on those days. The average round time here is about 5 hours if not a little longer. There are a lot of areas in the fairways that should be marked for ground under repair but are not.

The next thing is that they need a starter. It’s never clear on who is up next on the tee box.

The staff are pretty friendly and helpful when running into issues at the course, but I don’t think a lot of this is avoidable.

Best time to go here is during the week days.

Just Don't - Even if It's Inexpensive

You will be disappointed. Worst shape golf course I had ever played. Almost a 5 hour round too! Just play elsewhere.

Course needs some serious work

The staff was very nice, but the course needs a LOT of work. The fairways have huge patches of dirt and are not well maintained on the front 9 holes, however the back 9 were a little better but still need to be better maintained. The greens were okay, but they were very slow. The pace of play was very slow, and the group behind us were extremely rude and were yelling at my group and tried to pick a fight with my Dad because the pace of play was slow and they thought we were the ones holding up the game when we had 2 groups in front of us that were backing the course up. The Marshall’s didn’t do anything. All in all, I will say this will be my first and last time playing at this course. I wanted to try a new course, but this was not the course for me.

Terrible Fairways

Fairways were some of the worst I’ve experienced. Greens were less than decent and could use some work. Bunkers were fine. Pace of play was initially good, but slowed considerably on the back 9.

Course was over crowded and in terrible condition

9 holes took 3:15 min. We had a six some two groups in front of us and it didn’t seem to bother the marshal. Worst one of play I’ve ever experienced and the course looked and played like a dog track

Grass is looking way better

There's bare spots like always but the course is is in really good shape for what it has to offer. I was really surprised on how good it's looking.. good job greens keeper. Greens where punched 2-3 weeks ago so by Halloween this course will be looking at it's BEST..

Needs a lot of Maintenance !

The greens a degraded, the fairways are degraded, some tees are like concrete, the path is hard to navigate, the beer is very expensive. I’ve played other municipal courses for about the same price that are 10x better, try Oceanside Municipal.

More brown than green fairways

Virtually every fairway (especially #3) required a move of the ball to some grass (when you could find it).

Needs Improvement

This could be a good course but at it current state, it is not well maintained course. Fairways are really bad, tee boxes are hard and the pace of play was unbearable. I left after 12 holes.

They should pay you to play here

One of the worst golf courses I’ve ever stepped foot on. Conditions were abysmal and pace of play couldn’t have been slower. Don’t waste your money.
