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

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.

Perfect weather
Used cart

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.

It could be better but it’s not the worst

For starters the staff is super friendly and the cart are all brand new and in great shape. The pro is virtually non existent since all they have is a couple of boxes of balls and drinks. As far as the course goes, the layout is really good and fun to play but the actual condition of the fairways, greens and tee boxes is not so good. All of the tee boxes are bumpy and least 6 of them were just sand with no grass in sight. The fairways were not bad but had a few dead spots here and there. And finally the greens, this was probably the worst part; most of them had a bunch of dead spots and some had grass completely missing. Overall there’s better courses in the area but this one is not as bad as people try to make it sound.

Worst course ever! Under bankruptcy!!!

Worst course I have ever played at. Course is under bankruptcy, was not aware until I showed up. Everything is in need of help. Grass on fairway was 3 Feet tall in some areas. So frustrating to loose 4 balls on fairway because of poor grounds keeping. Do not come here until this place has new management!
