Poor Conditions, Bad Management

All greens have severe burnt grass, many with cracked dirt. They are slow and ball bounces to the hole. Tee boxes are uneven because of gopher problems and no maintenance. Some fairways are dead because irrigation does not work. Bunkers are hard dirt. No bathrooms on the back 9. The one restroom on the front 9 is not maintained properly. And the ladies bathroom is dirty. There are two less than desirable bathrooms in the cart barn to use. Good rate to get exercise. I wish management would do a better job. I know funds are limited but how hard is it to spread a little sand on the tee boxes? Or dig up the dead spots on the greens? Or even lay sod patches in the greens? Or start growing your own replacement green grass to use.

Course is ok.

Course is ok. Its real short. It has potential and you can see it, but it is poorly manicured in the areas where you would usually be. Rough is thick like it never got mowed in months. Most of the greens are in good shape. Maybe one or two were bad but it really depends on the pin placements but I could see how some people get angry.

If the course was cared for it would be great. But its not.

Staff is rude thats for sure. No martial on course to keep pace of play. Kind of upsetting.

Greens/Course in Bad shape

I know it just rained last week so my review could be weather induced. BUT, even last time I played here (a year ago ) the greens were so tarnished, beat up and ugly and even the fairways were in pretty bad shape. On top of that they don’t have an open food area on weekdays and no cart person...so that sucks. I wouldn’t pay $40/person for no service and bad course.

Greens are in really bad shape, and the tee boxes are too. Right fairways are alright. It makes you think about what about to take.

Schemers

I booked a round for 18 holes (walking) and when I checked in the guy at check in charged me full rate. He said they don’t offer walking rate on weekends ever, that the golf now app made a mistake and they couldn’t honor the price given.
