Avoid

This course is in bad need of attention.. The fairways are like hitting off concrete,and and very hard on your clubs.This course has lot's of sand traps that are very neglected.For the value I would definitely avoid this course.

Great Staff

The tee boxes and greens are in great shape for this time of year. The fairways are still dormant and need rain and warm weather. The sand traps are hard and packed. The pace of play was great.

The staff were great, very efficient and friendly. Really enjoyed our round of golf and will be back.

There was no golf now tee time accepted at the golf course. A $29 fee was paid upfront. I would like it returned before booking with golf now again.

Course not accepting golfnow reservations

I made reservation online but when arriving at course I was told they no longer accepted Golfnow reservations and paid rack rate at course for a time later than reservation. I paid $29 in advance fees and would like a refund or credit. I will be calling as soon as I figure out how to get someone on the phone . Very hard to find a contact number.

Marginal for the money

Greens were in good shape but slow. There was more grass on the greens than the fairways, which has literally no grass and there were a lot of sand areas as well. The bunkers were unplayable hard rock gravel.

First try

The course conditions were a little disappointing

Tee boxes and greens were lush grass ( greens were lush but very slow)

Fairways were either dormant or dried out, made for hitting off some hard pan lyes.

Concern was with the fivesome that magically showed up ahead of us on the second hole, this caused waiting on tee box and approach shots.

My biggest concern with group of five playing ahead of us was their disregard for the signage which added to the degradation of the course.

They were oblivious to the cart paths or signage as they would pull right up to the tee markers on tee boxes, drive right up next to green and drive down fairways on par three’s.

No course Marshall’s to be seen.

Otherwise friendly staff

Nice course, dormant grass except greens which are very nice

Greens are very nice, fairways are not over seeded, tee boxes not over seeded. No protection from wind. Course plays fast with dormant grass. Very nice people in club house.
