A Joke

This course should pay you to drive out and play it. It’s in shambles. I played like 8 months or so ago and I can assure you it’s still trash even after all the rain we got. The grass was dead it was dirty and dusty. Impossible to find a ball that was in play. I’m mainly leaving this review because somehow they feel the can charge $45 to play here. It should cost $10 to play here and that’s because you couldn’t get on anywhere else and you had to swing em.

Not as bad as some reviews

We felt like the course layout was good, but it definitely needed some attention. I hope you can find the funding to bring the course conditions back up. It was a great layout and would be an awesome course with a little care.

Potential

The club house is very very run down. But the course has a lot of character. Not very busy so I was able to play two balls. For the money it was good.

Very poor conditions

I've played here previously and enjoyed the course. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the course conditions for this round.

The greens need attention the tee's are rough and the fairways are mostly dirt. Someone really needs to take charge and get the course back in better shape.

The course was in rough condition

Overall the layout and fairway shots are fun, but parts of the course are in really rough condition. The tee boxes and greens are the worst culprits of this. Overall, if you can get a deal to play here I’d say give it a shot. Otherwise, you should look to other golf courses.

Stay Away

The nerve of this place to call it a championship golf course, it’s not even a golf course… it’s a cow pasture waiting for the cows to come home. There was ten times as many people playing pickle ball, because there was 3 people playing golf. It’s hard to explain, especially after looking at their web site pictures which must have been taken in the 70’s. I don’t want to waste anymore time on this travesty, suffice to say… the fairways have no grass, and gopher holes every step of the way. The greens are like putting on your crabgrass infected mowed lawn in your backyard. I can’t believe Golf Now would charge me to play this piece of crap masquerading as a golf course. Stay away.

This course was not a golf course

We showed up 30 minutes before our tee time and the guy working at the front desk, said you guys should go look at the course before you play. We quickly saw the course was completely dry and was unplayable. The guy in the pro shop then informed us that the course hadn't been watered in 3 months. The guy at the pro shop said he would cancel our round. Me and my other 3 friends quickly found a course close and were able to get a round in. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. I also still got charged by GolfNow which is insane.

Way past it's prime

The course looks to have had good bones in the past. It is in horrible shape now. Bunkers and fairways had not been maintained in quite some time. Most of the lies in the fairway were bare. There were downed trees everywhere. The greens were spotty and slow. I strongly suggest not playing this course. No matter how little they charge, it's not worth it. It's too bad because it is a nice layout.

Need Refund

We had a teetime for three people we paid for the cancellation fee policy when we arrived. The course was non-playable and we did not play. We requested a refund and they told us we need to get that through you. Please contact us ASAP as we did not play a single hole.

Give This a Try

I know that this course gets MANY very negative reviews.

CONS:

- Some fairways are mostly dirt.

- Bunkers need to be filled in with something.

PROS:

- Greens are in really good shape & very puttable.

-Tee Boxes are improved significantly.

-Staff was very friendly.

- Two beers & one bottle of water at the turn $10 total.

-Played comfortably in 3 1/2 hours.

- Hot Deals at decent times (which I didn't use) for $23.99!

Be Very Careful using Hot Deals for this course

After booking a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow that clearly stated "Cart Included", the front office tried to extort $10 additional for a cart! The reason given was that the course does not make any money when the Hot Deal is used. If I am not mistaken, that is not my problem. When I suggested they contact Golf Now and have them revise the offer, they said their plan is to wait until people arrive, hit them up for the extra $$ and if the customer refuses, they will allow the customer to fight with Golf Now to get their money back. So it appears they want the advertising Golf Now provides but they don't want to honor the deals. The guy told me Golf Now does not say "cart included" but then I showed them right on the receipt that it does. After much arguing, they let us play according to the Hot Deal but no one should have to have that argument when they are just trying to go have a nice day. The poor guy at the desk is clearly intimidated by the owner. It's not his fault. It's the owner. Congratulations! You just lost our group of 20 rounds per month.

Prepare to play on dirt

If you for some reason decide to pay money to play here, please be prepared to hit off dirt, mulch, and dead grass for every shot. Tons of potential, but seems like there is 0 effort being put in to make it better. Until there is, you couldn't pay me to play here again.
