Augustine Golf Club

My buddy and I played yesterday. We tee'd off at 8:03 or thereabouts. We finished about 4:45 later. Horrendous. And, I have not hit so many shots off dirt in a long, long time. The course looks like it hasn't been watered in months. That said, the greens were so slow I thought they were made of green Velcro. The course is. challenging but the layout is good. The food at the turn was good. I have seen. I have seen the course in excellent shape and poor shape. It leans toward poor now. At $65 a head, they can afford water.

First off, shoutout to my guy Bruce, the starter at Augustine. He was so sweet and welcoming and definitely started us off on a good note! Thanks, Bruce! :)

The course itself was in fair shape. The greens were gorgeous and super fast, but easy to get the hang of. The fairways were pretty dry and dead, so some of my drives were rolling 30-40 yards after impact. Bunkers were basically hard as rock, so my foursome ended up pulling our balls from some of them depending on how bad they were.

Overall, the course isn’t as prestigious as it was when I played it several years ago, but it’s definitely still very nice and worth playing at least once if you get the chance!

I played this course a couple of years ago and got rained out, but I really enjoyed the holes I played. I looked forward to returning and playing it all. Imagine my disappointment.

1. The conditions were abysmal. I was told it hadn't rained in awhile. This wasn't a drought. This was clearly long term negligence. Weedy, thin fairways and tees. Greens were at least green, but slow and uneven.

2. They started a shotgun scramble tournament at 9, then started booking tee times at noon. I went off at 12:15. It took 2:40 to play 7 holes, then I stopped looking. When the tournament cleared, things started moving again. But what were they thinking, giving it 3 hours?

I could live with that, but not the conditions. Sorry, but I can't recommend this course until they get it back in shape.

Modify your expectations when booking here. I played on a Sunday morning. The round took 5 1/2 hours. I played a dodger course the day before and played in three hours.

This course was baked out to the point that it was very difficult to take a divot except in front of the third green, where it seem like it was the only place to get watered (soft, squishy ground).

The greens were REALLY slow.

Everything about it was amazing. Only complaint is they could have cleaner bathroom’s.

The usual, open tee times, great staff. Great value for a weekend (Memorial Day weekend). Course conditions were good, not great. But greens were terrific. The course layout is not overly challenging but makes you work on course management to score well. Staff was great and courteous as usual. The only issue was the pace of play was particularly slow, which is not the norm.

The layout of this coarse is a lot of fun. The greens were nice and full but a bit slow. We may have played the day before they were due to be cut. The most disappointing part of the round was the fairways. This course really needs some work done on their fairways. Lots of dirt spots and need for more grass seed to be applied. The fees are pretty high for the area and it doesn’t appear management is reinvesting the funds back into the coarse.
