Water me please

Fairways dead or bare in several places on all 18 holes. Blind shots on a handful of tee shots some guidance on the tee box or score card would help golfers not get a double or triple bogey because they hit into trouble they were unaware of. Greens had pock marks and clover or gouges they cost us a few putts.

Nothing good to say

The course is in terrible shape though the greens are puttable. Lots of bare areas everywhere. The layout of the course is really poor. First and last time here at this course.

Great people course in terrible shape.

The staff at this course is incredible, super nice and very helpful. The course is in bad shape and the carts are in need of repair. May come back just because of the staff!

Big Disappointment

I went to this course because I saw this course is player's choice course. I had no idea how did this course qualify for that?!

To be blunt, this is not a normal golf course. It's stuck in a housing community and it's about 5000 yards in length. The layout is awkward! it's narrow with a lot of obstructions of trees. And for many holes you have to take blind shots.

The course condition is very poor! the grass is dying! Only good part is the green is in so so condition.

It's my first time play here and it will also be my last time!

Surprisingly impressed

The greens were in great condition, speed was a eight out of 10. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The Marshall checked on us twice and showed true hospitality. I didn’t expect a great play today but ....I was surprisingly impressed with the conditions, I teed off at 7 AM and was done before 1030. PS… The course is very unforgiving so you better hit it straight
