Fun Course
We enjoyed this course and the staff was terrific.
Greens coming along
The greens are coming along and much better than a few months ago - challenging and fun course - recommend playing - will be back
Great course and value
Haven't found a better course for the money and the staff was excellent.
Very Disappointed
This was the first time booking a course from you that I was very disappointed. The greens and tee boxes had been aerated and sanded. The greens were unputtable and the sand traps were unplayable. Speed of play was horrible until I managed to get around 4 or 5 groups. Because of that I skipped 4 or 5 holes. Temperature was 87 when I finished and I did not see any place to get water on the course. I doubt if I would go back to this course. I would not complain if I had paid $25 to play but at $46 it was a very bad value. Really disappointed after reading your previous reviews.
Very Disappointed
This is the first time that I was really this disappointed in a golf course I have booked on Tee Off. I read good reviews on your site but they must not have played it lately. The guy that checked me in welcomed me and he and the starter got me out earlier than my assigned tee time but it went down hill from then on. For the first 5 or 6 holes the speed of play was horrible but after I got around a few groups it got better. They had aerated and sanded the greens and they were unputtable. The tee boxes and sand traps were worse, I have never been this disappointed in a golf course I booked through you. If I had paid $25 to play this course I would not have said anything but paying $46 I feel like I was ripped off. I won't play this course again or recommend it to anybody. .
Disappointed
Course had just been berated and two temporary greens.
overall nice course
I have played 2 other times here and it has been great each time. however, this time, they were resending 2 of the greens and had temporary green locations. I understand this needs to be done to maintain the course but I was not informed upon check-in about it. my other concern is that they put temporary greens in the rough off of the fairway. one hole they did fix up so the temporary green was at least somewhat putt-able but the other was basically straight rough. both holes were par 5's. the first one being redone was shortened by 75-100 yards and took out a water hazard. at best in the conditions it was a par 4. the other was only shortened by 50 yards or so and didnt change the over-all challenge of the hole, though the normal green location gives it a different look. I will definitely be back to play the course again, but hopefully next time, any temp greens will be appropriately taken care of and we will be informed upon check-in.
