First Time Playing

First time playing strawberry farms and was not impressed. I was excited because I heard good things but it did not live up to the expectations. The course conditions were good, not great, the layout is a little funky with completely different front and back nines. Overall I’d say if this course cut the price in half I think it would be a good value and I would recommend it but the current price at 100+ is not worth it, I feel like you’re paying for the waterfall feature on 18 ( it is a nice feature) but it’s a blind tee shot. Didn’t really use any of the off course amenities so can’t comment on that.

Surprised with punched green without warning

We booked the hot deal and nothing on the booking page showing punched green. Very disappointed with the lack of notification of this important course condition in Golfnow booking.

Punched greens

I actually love this course. But to not tell people the greens are punched and to charge full price is a little ridiculous. Recommend playing but maybe call the course to check conditions.

Beautiful day!

They are working to keep up the fairways and greens. You will come across spots in fairways and on putting greens where you scratch your head and wonder.

That said, it was a great day, with many more positives and overall a great experience!!

Not sure why this course normally has such expensive tee times?

We had a nice round. We were paired with another couple. We never had to wait (Tuesday at 3pm tee time). The 3-some behind us was typically on our tails pretty quickly, even though we weren't incredibly slow.

The back nine is much more challenging than the front. It is picturesque back there-----I caught myself wishing that I was walking the trails and hiking instead.....there is amazing wildlife/birds throughout the entire back side. Along with a beautiful water feature near the end.

Never had a cart girl. Starter was friendly enough. There wasn't good signage, no ball washers, and it was difficult to know where to bring our cart afterwards.....it's a large parking lot, hard to find your car if you're not familiar, so it would be nice if carts were allowed in the lot. I understand the safety concern, but it's a bit far to lug your clubs afterwards.

We had a special rate of $52. I can't imagine having to pay much more than that for this course. Maybe if it previously had pristine fairways, etc....but obviously COVID and the drought have taken it's toll. The fairways are OK.... the roughs are rather ragged and weedy. But at least you don't lose your ball often if you miss the fairway into the rough.
