Sad shape

Tee boxes were in tough shape...so we're the fairways...some greens were ok but others had a lot of sand on them...a very strange routing around residences with several cart drives of 3-4 minutes...it is the cheapest golf course in the area...and now we know why

THE COURSE WAS IN VERY POOR CONDITION EVERYWHERE - GREENS, TEES AND FAIRWAYS. THE SAND TRAPS WERE O.K.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE WHO HAS TO PAY $40.0O U..S. TO PLAY.

Poor condition

There wasn’t any part of the course that wasn’t in crappy condition. The fairways suck and the greens are horrible. Wouldn’t waste my money on it in the future.
