Course needs some TLC.

Our first time playing this course. It was difficult to find our way around the course because of poor signage. Some of the fairways are in poor condition, the greens had just been sanded and way too much goose poop. Don't know if we'd come again.

Go to jail

Horrible course for the money, everything needs improvements and it’s sad as the location is convenient for those visiting PS. Will not return, it just plain sucks as conditions are horrible and depressing, seems there are no groundskeepers and the residents have to pitch. There is a reason the Golf Pass rate is cheap, it reflects the conditions.

Under construction

Recently seeded and the greens recently sanded. Had to putt around and through piles of sand. It should be fine in a couple weeks Then it’s a fun course

I feel that we were mislead by the description and it proved even worse

The Positive; the fairways are beautiful, green and mowed nicely.

The Negative:

The greens were patchy, rough, and in terrible shape.

The experience on the back nine was THE WORST!!!!! The person that checked us in could’ve easily explained the situations and provided a map.

No signage, getting lost, #10 a mess, cart paths worse than roads in a 3rd World country!!

No restaurant, 3 day old sandwiches in the pro shop.

And we paid $79.00 each!! RIPPED OFF!!

Fun challenging course with great views

Really fun course with plenty of water and bunkers to make it challenging. Staff was great got us right on and on time. Zero problems with pace of play. Didn’t have to stop once. Fairways were very thick grass and almost felt like rough which was a bit of an issue and the greens were not in great shape. All in all very fun day on the coirse

We have visited this course numerous times over the last few decades. This visit we were sad to see that it is in very rough condition. The restaurant and bar are closed down. Only two staff members. The greens haven’t come in yet. Some of the fairways were in good shape but the rest of the course is floundering. As with many other local courses that are struggling, maybe the homeowners should try to take over this course and revive it.

Greens need help

Overall the course had a good layout, but it needs a lot of course management the greens are in very poor shape. They need to do some clean up around the course.

Not as bad as some reviews

You get what you pay for here. Course just reseeded so will need time to recover. Greens spotty in areas but playable. Overall only 10th hole shortened due to wash reconstruction. It's not as bad as some of the ratings. Overall a fun course to play if you have an open mind.

NOT too bad

I played with another single and and a couple.

The course made myself and the other single share a cart. They had over 20 empty carts available and no cars in the parking lot. It made for slower play. Course conditions were not that good.
