Not worth the money

All I can say about the course that was good was the golf carts were decent. The grass was hardly there you could not putt on the greens. We had to do a 2 putt rule because the greens were impossible they would bounce all over they were super long. The sand traps were horrible. for the price that they wanted, and what was paid for this course, it was not worth it.

Course needs some serious help

I have played this course in over 15 years and a lot has changed in that time. This course was beautiful and green me a fun course to play back then. This time, the course was in serious need of help. All the greens were bumpy and need to be redone. It was cart path only, which we didn’t find out until we got there, and there didn’t seem to be any reason for it. It you need to overseer, close for a month and fixed it. We were very disappointed and probably will never return

Clean up your course

Greens were bumpy and not filled on. The course was littered with Palm fronds and lots of down debris. Basically an unkempt course.

Greens & Fairways Disgusting

I had played this course once before years ago - and thinking they would up their game - tried once more. They had the gall to charge a reduced rate LOL of $60 - and it wasn't worth $10. Greens were awful, fairways worse, but the weather was nice. Will never play there again.

Never again at any price

Booked online as a special rate. No mention of awful course condition. Greens fairways bunkers fairways were all terrible. Poor maintenance lack of watering caused large bare spots. Back nine was closed so we played the front 9 twice twin terror. Not all of our group chose to finish. Hard to find gps led us to back entrance which was not open. Driving range was a goat ranch barren with no grass. Interior was clean Bu t no open. We were told when we arrived that course was under repair but too late toochange. Bad day…

Opened far too early-horrid conditions

The condition of the entire course was abysmal with fairways not properly groomed and greens that were heavily sanded and so bumpy the ball rolled like a rabbit was hopping.Obviously,there is inadequate maintenance of the playing facilities which is a shame and an insult to returning customers.

Conditions must improve if the public will be confident in returning to play this course in the future!

Course not ready to play

It was cartpath only,but the rough was awful,,so should of been allowed to drive in it.. very little grass on the fairways, some places it was just dirt..all of the greens had lots of sand on them,a nd they were very bumpy. You just had to say take 2 putts and pick up.

I shot a good score in spite of the lousy conditions as i didn't t go into any of the many ponds.on the course.

Wait a few weeks before playing this course.

Terrible greens and fairways

The day I played I was told only the front 9 holes were open as the back 9 were unplayable. Wrong! The entire course was in poor condition thus unplayable. The course is overrun by ants, gnats and other insects.
