Perfect for an after work quick 9

Took my girlfriend here after work on a Friday for a quick 9 holes. Staff was SUPER friendly and it was easy enough getting into the gated community to the pro shop. It’s on par with any average municipal. Some folks are upset because it’s not the best condition but for the price, it’s loads of fun and the greens are in PERFECT condition. My girlfriend had loads of fun re-learning the game and I was just happy to be out with her in the sun and practicing some chipping and putting. Overall, this was a great outing for not a lot of money. Pace of play was great too, as slower folks will let you play through and those teaching friends and family make use of the really decent layout. Carts in great condition too.

Absolute Dog Track

This place is in terrible shape. The club house wasn’t even staffed when we got there for our tee time at 10:15. At the turn the guy at the desk tried to charge me again “for the cart” after already playing the front 9. The course itself is in terrible condition. Seems like the only greens they take care of is 9 & 18 because it’s the only ones you can see from the road driving in. Sand tee boxes and dirt fairways. Save your 40 bucks and put it towards literally ANY of the other courses around.

You get what you pay for

Even though the price is very affordable, the course is in rough shape for most holes.

Some tee boxes are all sand with no little to no grass.

Some greens were sandy as well and some were punched.

In the rough it is a ball graveyard

Not the worst I have played but close, in need of some heavy maintenance

Stupified

This course was the worst place I have ever played. Rough in the fairways on perfect drives and you could lose your ball. It was every hole as well. The course isn’t maintained at all. The greens were bare and dirt showing through. It has a great layout if someone would just take care of the place. I’m stupified as to why, as it is in a nicer community.

The best part about this course was leaving it

I have never left a review of a course before in my life. But I was compelled to leave one so others may fully understand what a dumpster fire this course is. The grass is not cut whatsoever so not losing a ball is almost impossible even in the fairway. The tee boxes are a disaster and there is one hole where this a tree directly in the middle of the fairway. The worst part is you have to go through a security just to get to this disastrous course. They also didn’t have a bathroom you could use. The guy recommended I drive to the nearest fast food restaurant to use the bathroom lol. I felt like I was robbed honestly. This course should just be demolished and turned into a park.

Not ideal

Tee boxes are dirt, greens have foliage on them, the hole #12 looks like a place to ride dirt bikes, not play golf. Sand traps are harder than my dirt driveway. Would be a really fun/tough course if it had better conditions.
