Rough but inexpensive

Played Dunes and Vista

Dunes fairways were in mediocre condition and Green’s were in poor condition.

Vista’s fairways were more acceptable but greens were in poor shape, although better than greens on the Dunes.

We have played here before and the conditions were much better. There has been an unusual amount of rain this year and the conditions are indicative of that.

I will probably give it another try but not after so much rain.

Staff was excellent!

Like the course layout

With 18 holes you get two different courses on each half. Carts were good just wish they had upgrades like gps or Bluetooth. Top three in the panhandle.

Average member course. Hot deal was $35 which is about what this course is worth. Overall course maintenance could be better. Fairways were in good shape but greens are very slow. Starter was very friendly.

Overall = Excellent

I gave everything a 5/5 except conditions because a few of the greens had a top dressing that left clumps of sand all over them. We were able to kick any of the piles, in our way, around to give ourselves the best line. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone, we played Lakes.

Solid HotDeal Course

Played here last weekend. I got a HotDeal for around $40 and it was absolutely worth the money. Fairways and greens are in pretty good condition, looks like they have a drainage issue in some areas of fairways. Greens are a little furry but roll true and are playable. Pace of play was terrible, but who’s in a rush on Sunday morning. I’d probably think about joining as a member if pace wasn’t so bad.

Most reviews you read on here are accurate. We visit twice a year, probably played here 15 times. If it’s been raining, stay away. Back 9 is in much better shape than the front. Cart paths are not good.

Overall it’s the best value in the area…all other nice courses are $90-$130. Staff is great! We’ll keep returning in the future.

Nice

Took a couple of friends over to play this course. They as well as I enjoyed it greatly. The entire staff was very professional and nice.

They had a large tournament going on and they made special arrangements to allow us to play an alternate 9 hole tract of their’’s to prevent us from having a 3 hour back nine experience. Much appreciated!

We will play here again!

Close the course

Good news: We were able to get around the course in good time.

Bad news: The course appears to have a poor drainage system. Five out of 18 holes were cart only, and more should have been cart only. Many of the fairways were so wet, it was difficult to find your ball(plugged), or the mower had created large ruts.

The course should close and allow the fairways to dry out. Once the fairways are dry this could be a fun course to play.

Bring water to drink on hot days. The Starter told us a cart girl would be around, but we never saw her..

They cut the grass with a tractor and brush hog

There were lumps of grass all over the course from them mowing with a brush hog. Could not drive on most of the holes with a cart yet they were riding all

Over them with tractors. Then the tee boxes had tractor marks all down the middles of them as well. Only positive were the greens were kept very good. Other than that, I hate that I waisted money to play there and will never go back. Could be a great place if it was maintained with proper equipment.

They should be closed. They can not help that it has rained a lot but they can close when the course is underwater.
