1. Can’t hit driver on the range

2. Putting greens roll a 6 at best

3. Rock hard bunkers, zero sand

4. Fairways not cut on many holes

5. Tee boxes uneven and patchy

6. Kikuyu going on the greens

7. Cart governors stopping us going uphill

8. Cart girl has an igloo with bud light, got my card back two hours later.

9. Clubhouse to check in is a double wide trailer

10. Course is littered with trash

Overall poor at best, overall rating 2.1/10. $94 on a Sat, but the starter was very nice.

Complete bulls$&@ Charged me full price when I called to let them know hours before that I was u able to go due to Covid. Wouldn’t even listen to what I had to say. I will be escalating this matter

The fairways and greens were in very good shape- but the lush fairways made the ball sit up high- so it was easy to hit high on the club face and come up short. The greens were like Velcro and very slow- which is not the normal for this course.

The only complaint was the pace of play. We were waiting about 4-5 minutes on every shot. We found the problem group- who was two+ holes behind and everything was gridlocked behind that group. We call the clubhouse and they said they would take care of it. Their solution- don’t send out a Marshal- but put an alert on the GPS screen to all golfers about pace of play. That obviously didn’t solve the problem. The end result was a 5.5 hour round !!!

Was excited to play this course, driving in the layout looked really fun, and there was nobody out there it looked like on a Sunday! We got out there and first thing I noticed was the fairway grass was all Kikuyu! Terrible type of fairway grass as that grass is sticky and grabs your clubs. Most public courses use it as a rough grass, but this clearly has taken over the whole course. Also the squirrels were very overpopulated and tearing it all apart!

Cart girl was nowhere to be found on 95 degree day! We saw her 1 time and she wouldn’t take debit cards. How do you not have technology to swipe a card at this point?

So much potential for this course! Was bummed with our experience!

Pace of play was average due to a shotgun tournament otherwise the whole experience is excellent.
