Horrible

This place is definitely not worth $45 a round. The greens have barely any grass on it. Either the grass is burnt or full of weeds that were pulled.

Not going back

Tee boxes uneven. Greens covered in dead spots. Inside facilities are dirty and unorganized. The only friendly person on staff was the starter. Pace of play was decent, but probably because of the lack of business.

Greens were spotty, could be better. Signs around the course were not readable. They were faded. Buildings look a little run down, not very appealing. Probably won’t play at this course again.

Don't waste your time or your money

Booked this course based on my friends past memories of the course without reading the recent reviews. I feel really sorry for the current staff. The story I was told by one of the locals was that it was purchased about 3 years ago by a foreign investor who has cut off financial support....course maintenance staff reduced from 15 to 5 ..impossible for them to maintain this once beautiful course properly..The place looks like a ghost town , tattered and torn. We chose to cancel our reservation after seeing the conditions....It will take a ton of money to revive...I suspect this is a real estate deal where when this place is ran down into the dirt and closed and homes will replace the current course..The sign of the times...For Sale

slow

Nice enough course. Working on tee boxes. Pace of play was extremely slow. The couple I played with only played 9 and I made 5 more when had to leave. There is no excuse for not playing in 4 hrs (Our group always play in under 3 hrs walking) Need to tell everyone they are not on the PGA tour and have fun. Its no fun having toi wait 5 minutes before you can make a shot.

I Don’t Write Reviews

I’ve never written a review. Not on google or yelp and especially not on GolfNow. This, this course broke me. We kinda ended up having to play here because our buddy booked 1 golfer instead of 4 at Pala Mesa so it was a play this place or go home scenario. So we read some reviews and hoped for the best..... don’t make our same mistake. Should’ve went home and played in my local dog park, conditions would have been better. Tee Boxes felt like mini earthquakes hit the night before. Greens were literally pinball machines. Just close the place, tell investors it was Covid’s fault and move on.

Absolute Dump

If you dont like golf this course ay be for you! Came for a golf weekend and for that matter golf now lost its reputation as a place to book a tee time. Asked for a refund they said no. Golf Now needs to inspect places in order to be on platform

but what are you doing to improve the condition of the course. From what i see the answer to the question is nothing. Im never going to spend the amount of money I did to play golf at your course unless something in how the condition the course is kept changes.

Place has always had a great layout and crappy maintenance. It's really a shame they don't hire someone with vision and talent to maintain this course.

Cow pasture

This course is overpriced for its condition. The fairways were in bad shape and weeds were everywhere. It looked it had very little maintenance, with broken fences, huge potholes on the cart paths. Overall it was in terrible shape and needed money and maintenance put into the course. Save your money, rather than play this course.

Hotter than Hades.

Played 18 holes as a two some starting at 8:30 am. Was 80 degress. Finished at 12:30 and was 117 degrees!. Course has interesting good bones, but needs a lot of tender loving care. I think because of COVID-19 that they haven't kept it up much. Lots of brown patches. Needs reseeding which will be next month likely. Staff was very friendly, helpful, and accomidating.

Ok Course

Are used to play this golf course back in the 90s and it was immaculate. The golf course has been let go and is severely damaged and needs a lot of work. There were sprinklers going on quite a bit of the course so it looks like they’re doing some work on it. But there are way too many gopher holes throughout the course around the greens on the fairways.. I literally lost a golf ball down the Gopher hole. That’s how many are on that course.. and all of the sand traps need some really major work. I literally did not even recognize the course this time when I went out it was in such bad shape

Deplorable Conditions

This Course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen! It was a cow pasture! We literally stopped playing after 3 holes and accepted 1/2 our money back in order not to waste our time! The Manager really gave us a hard time just getting 1/2 our money back and I wouldn’t recommend this Course to ANYONE!

Over priced

I understand during COVID it is difficult to keep everything top notch, which is why I did not rate the off course amenities. The bar is closed, however you can still purchase some alcohol from a cooler. My primary issue is that the course is over priced. We paid $40 with a cart and I believe $30 with a cart would be more appropriate given the condition of the course. Also, most of the cart path is in very poor condition. The cart path has obviously been in need of some tlc for years. The staff was very friendly, especially after having to bring a new cart twice due to the battery.
