Needs a lot of work

My buddy and I just finished a round here. It was a good day for us out there as it was my first time getting under 100. The course layout is great. There are some tough narrow fairways with plenty of hills, bunkers and sand boxes. However, the tee-boxes are in terrible shape. Doesn’t really matter too much because you’re hitting off a tee but they look horrible. If you slice, good luck finding your ball because the maintenance isn’t up to date. There was only one employee working, he was very friendly and was doing the job of several.

The recent rain made several holes just completely muddy and swampy. This course has so much potential. But for the money (we paid 40 bucks) it wasn’t too bad.

We will definitely play it again but you get what you pay for so just understand the course isn’t well maintained.

Course was a little overgrown and pretty mushy because of rain. Lost quite a few balls because of the long grass.

Interesting

The greens are nice, the rest of the coarse needs a lot of work.

Tight, rough shape

Tight course with really difficult rough areas. Greens are okay, fairways, tee boxes and bunkers need a lot of work. Overall not bad for the $23 I paid for 18 w/ cart.

Not a bad track

Juniors play for free here!!! Great job guys…way to get the way this game works. This course is fun with its blind tees and challenging layout, you can’t just go after every hole with a driver. You have to play this course. Greens are good and the course is not as bad as the reviews say.

Bag work Wednesday

It's been 10+ years since I've played this track.

Greens good, fairways not so much, a lot of dirt. Course challenging, an iron from the tees is your best bet.

Fun afternoon, cheap and a three hour round.

Will play again.

Maintenance needed!

The ruff needs mowing as well as outlying areas. The Tee boxes need grass and leveling.

Worse course ever!!

Worse course I’ve ever played, multiple tee boxes that resemble sand boxes. Everything was overgrown, literally only one staff member on the entire course. I felt robbed playing that course.
