Probably used to be a nice course but… yikes

Pulling up to the course you can see how brown/yellow it is but it is January so I was willing to cut some slack there. Inside a gated community and the houses were not extremely old so the layout was relatively modern but man, ownership or management must have changed hands because they have let this course become a huge dump. Fairways and greens were a huge mess full of repair areas and dead spots, multiple tee boxes that were just completely bare of grass.

When I got to the course the tiny parking lot they have was completely full so you have to find parking on the street next to a fairway on either side and just hope you picked a safe spot to not get your car hit haha.

At check in was informed there is no driving range but a small net you can hit into, also the clubhouse did not even have a working bathroom “but there are some on the course…” being as I checked in 45 min early, I was on my own to find a bathroom. Also on that note, the friend I was playing with did eventually use on (after hole 5) and he said it was one of the most disgusting bathrooms of all time because the toilet was completely full to the top with…well stuff that goes in the toilet…

There’s honestly areas of this course that just look completely abandoned. Shame too because the layout has potential but, wow. No need to check this one out if you haven’t.

Horrible customer service

I convinced my friends to golf with me. It was 4 of us two women and two men. When we arrived we were told that the bathrooms were being worked on and that the restrooms were available on the front and back nine.

Also that the grill isn’t permanently closed.

They lied one bathroom had caution tape and it was overflowing with feces and urine.

We informed the staff when we came back around then he told us that there was another restroom by hole 14, the bathroom was boarded up and not available.

This is inhumane and big problem should osha be informed.

We paid $50 dollars a player and green was in horrible condition there was so much weed and high grass that it made it impossible to find our balls.

We would like a refund and you should really close the course and not allow the facility to open until you have usable bathrooms for women and better conditions and a professional staff.

It’s unfortunate that they let the course get so bad and I was shocked to also see 6 players ahead of us and that they allowed it.

Needs driving range

Biggest issue was no driving range and for $35 for 9 holes with only a janky net to hit balls into next to the 1st hole. Cart was dirty had multiple bad repairs to the seat that looked and felt terrible had no sand in them and the course overall was pretty boring for the first 9 holes. Ankle deep rough 5 feet off the fairway isn't fun at all.

Course needs sum TLC and $$ put back into it..

Well let's start with no driving range. Narrow holes after that chunks taken out of the greens so you can't even putt; the golf carts all have rips in the seats just really ghetto. the bathroom and all the ball washers across the course... all dry and broken.

nice folks, goods course, not a great value

They always keep their reservation commitment. However they do allow lots of walk-ins and they just start immediately, which pushes everyone back and makes reservations sort of pointless. The people managing are very courteous. The greens are ok and the fairways are tricky and narrow (which makes for fun golf).

Waste

1st time playing this course. The lay out is nice but the course is in terrible condition. Greens are ridiculous. For $50 too. I mean 50 isn't steep but they should be charging 20 at the most. Never again
