Good Fallback Course

If you waited until Friday night to book your Sat/Sun round, here's a golf course... I enjoy it here, but the fairways and bunkers are in such poor shape, it'll hurt your eyes. Greens were actually ok relative to the rest of the rest of each hole. Greens are easy to read and paced slow enough to give a run at each pin. Defense of the course is the fairways in bad shape and enough trees lining most holes to put you in total jail for an offline drive.

Ghetto, absolutely ghetto

This has to be the saddest excuse of a course I've played. It was like spending an afternoon in the great depression. I feel this place would be better suited as a wildlife preserve for ground squirrels than golf and its most of the way there already. Save your self some time and tee off in the national forest the greens they're are better kept. The old dude passing out the carts was awesome tho.

More Gophers than Golfers

There are more squirrels and gophers than golfers on any given day. They are overcharging to play on a course that is not being kept up to par, the sand traps are filled w weeds, more dirt than sand and the fairways are bumpy due to the numerous holes.

I found my tee shot right next to and 1 foot high weed growing in the middle of the fairway.....

Surprisingly the greens were in good condition.

More the better

Overbook and let the starters worry about. Not enough carts and not charging properly. Had to reset at least a dozen times in final four holes.

40 minute wait after our tee time. Greens are patchy and gopher holes on at least two holes...

Definitely, not worth there high prices.

So Dissapointing

We've play this in the past and we we're excited to fine time to go back. This time we brought friends that have never play here. I spent half my day apologizing for making the tee time and hauling them along with us.

The tee boxes are nothing but weeds and the greens weren't much different. Fairways are dead and the squirrels have taken over. Be careful as a twisted ankle can happen very easily with all the holes from them varmints.

The guy in the club house when we checked in was rudy to my wife... The starter was very nice and helpful and I can't even remember his name. The pictures on their web site must be from 10 years ago as that wasn't the same course we played.

I spend $90 for the wife and I to have a nice day golfing and it wasn't worth more than $10 each! We did our best to make it a pleasant day and at least enjoy the company....

Not worth the money

It looks like they don't care about the stat that the course is in bad fairways and greens. For the price I would rather play somewhere else. Instead of paying 55 to 65 dollars I find a fair rate for this course would be around 30 to 35 dollars

Not too terrible

I played this a few weeks ago.

Pros: no wait, no pairing up. Fast round. Eagle on 14. Scoreable holes.

Cons: tee boxes, greens (one temporary green) fairways aren’t great but playable, (come on, we aren’t pros here)

Honest opinion, it’s not as good as it was when I played this course 13 years ago. It makes me sad when a course is in somewhat disrepair, but I’m a 15-20 handicap so it’s not like I’m a pro. If they would just take care of the greens and tee boxes it would be a lot better. I’m biased cause I got an eagle and birdie during the round. If this course was say $30 a round it would be great for what it is. It’s worth playing though. Don’t kid yourselves golf snobs.

Can't recommend

I would call this place a cow pasture but cow pastures are much better kept. We lost several balls hit into the middle of the fairway due to all the clovers. I commented to my playing partner that this was the first time I ever had a bad lie at the tee box with my ball on a tee, the grass was that tall. And to say the facility is run down is a vast understatement. It is downright dilapidated.

Fun but not worth the money

I would play this course often for $20 or $30/round but will never return at the current rates. The course is exactly as described in other reviews (which I should have read before I booked via GolfNow). Many of the tee boxes are overgrown and it feels like you are teeing off from the rough. I lost 6 golf balls without being too far off the fairway as there were weed and dandelian farms all over the place. The greens were beat up. The sand traps were not playable. We enjoyed the pace of play, but that was a result of the fees being out of line with reality. I imaging this course gets a lot of first time visitors, but very few repeat visitors. Again, I would come back for $20 or $30 being fully aware of what to expect. Management either needs to maintain the course to justify current fees, or continue to not take care of the course, but lower the fees.

This is the worst course i played.

Don’t be deceive by the pictures on Golfnow. This is a waste of money and time. Very poor course condition from tee to green. It’s not worth to pay $65 bucks. I won’t even pay $20 bucks to play on this course. GolfNow please don’t put courses like this on your website so the paying customer like me will not be disappointed and frustrated. Thanks

Fairly tough to rate as good

Tees, fairways, greens rough. Traps are mostly dirt. Pace of play great. By myself in 2 hours. Only passed one single walker. Wide open. At 37$, and considering most courses have been price gouging since covid hit, in line with current pricing for the conditions compared to nicer courses.

This course is not in good shape, but I was able to take my time as no one was in front or behind my group. Staff were great and as friendly as they could be, but COViD really did a number on this course.

Worst maintained course

I have never played a course where zero efforts had been made to do minimum maintenance. All the greens were full of potholes and the fair ways in terrible condition. Charged too much to play. I will never visit againg.
