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.

Would recommend to a friend based on price but only with “preferred lies” as the course is heavily consistent of mud, dirt patches, and random patches of high vegetation

DONT GO!!

This is my first experience at this course, and unfortunately, the layout is horrible. The tee boxes are in poor condition with several potholes, making it difficult to find a stable footing. The fairways have numerous potholes as well, and the bunkers need attention. While the greens appear nice, they are somewhat choppy, causing the ball to bounce rather than roll smoothly. Proceed with caution, as I will be choosing to avoid this course in the future.

Course is in rough shape

Will not be playing this course again. Should not cost more than $20 a round at the condition it’s in.

Course needs improvement

Got there early. 9 people total waiting for the first tee box so they need to do better for scheduling the course out. The course conditions are terrible.

No grass or green in the tee boxes. The course conditions are bad. The course isn’t maintained so if you slice your shot, good luck finding your ball.

The course isn’t worth 55 bucks per round, let alone 20 bucks.

Expecting and asking for tips is totally unprofessional as well. “Tip for maintaining and cleaning carts.” It was the second time I’ve been asked for a tip. Do better people.

I’d go back for a golf now app deal but that’s about it. I won’t pay 55 bucks a round again.
