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.

SERIOUSLY?!!

I wouldn’t play this course again if it was FREE!!!!

First impression was good, as the girl in the pro shop was very cordial. Everything wen down hill from there!!

The fairways had numerous areas of bare spots/dirt, and even some of the greens had patches

That is nothing compared to the rough!!! As soon as you are off the fairway, the average height of the grass is 6 inches!! Seriously?

I’m a 15 handicap golfer, and I probably just missed 3 fairways.on the front 9. Guess how many balls I lost? You’ve got it, I lost every single one that was not in the fairway ! I was so disturbed, I just left…

I have been golfing for over 60 years (I’m 75), and this is the worst experience I have ever had…

SUGGESTION: AVOID THIS COURSE

Greens were terrible

Course was in terrible condition. Most greens looked decade and full of ant hills. Vickie the cart girl was the only positive thing there. Would not go back.

Worst course I ever played

Poorly managed, not taken care of, fast play since no one else was there. Tear up the whole thing and start again. I could have just left the title to speak for itself.

Worst Course Ever

This is the worst golf course I ever played. And even worse my dad, who has been playing 30 years longer than I have, also said it was the worst course he ever played. If they gave me a free round I wouldn't go back.
