Rude Staff and Peer Pressuring
Played yesterday and the course was great, greens were tough and overall good pace of play.
My frustration is with this staff friendliness where the two people in the clubhouse, were trying to pressure me from getting 4 golf carts to help social distance. From one employee, he asked me "if I really need 4 carts?" with a tone that I don't believe he asked others and then after I paid the other employee asked me "Do you really need it?".
Honestly, I don't understand two people can be insensitive to a global pandemic. Shame on both of them for trying to guilt someone because they won't have enough carts. Very rude.
Affordable Golf
This course is very average however relatively affordable for the Orange County area
Awful course - awful course conditions
First the $44 dollar fee is crazy for this course. Every hole had dry fairways , dirt patches and over grown ruff.
The geese out numbered the golfers 10-1 and the amount of goose crap you have to walk by shows how bad they keep up with the maintenance.
Tee boxes where okay , need to update the tee markers. Greens in okay shape .
The driving range was by far the worst- old balls old mats just look else where before golfing here
Horrible Value
Course was in terrible shape for how expensive the round was. Greens were alright, but the rest of the course was in terrible shape. Dirt for fairways, puddles in the rough, etc...
Needs lots of TLC
I heard that the course might be sold. That might explain why the course is in such sad shape. If it’s not for sale then shame on management for allowing it to be in the condition it’s in.
Nice layout, but fairways are poor. Greens have been well maintained in the past, but not so much now. I hope it’s not for sale and the condition improves.
First and last
For the average hack this is your place, if your a 5 handicap or better this is a cow pasture. Greens are sloped with divots everywhere not fun at all
Never in great condition, worse now
With rumors about a pending sale of the golf course it appears that they have stopped putting any money into course maintenance! Fairways were shabby and rough was high. Greens were slow. Only saving grace was it was open!
I would only recommend this course to someone if they could get a reduced green fee.
Cheap
Decent layout, greens can be tough . Fairways r just bad .
glad to be playing again
can’t say this is accurate review, because of Covid
I enjoyed being back, was the course great ? no but was it in pre Covid shape I don’t know. Enjoyed plentiful wildlife, nice greens
falsely advertised!
the course had no electric carts and this was guaranteed with our reservation. they then had no pull carts to rent. grass hadn't been cut in a long time. rough was 6 inch high and we lost several balls as a result. unable to buy food or drinks! bad experience. the guys in the pro shop were helpful! no score cards were available!
It’s early
When you’re ball can’t be found in the rough that doesn’t make for a good round. Every player in my foursome had to take drop. I’m sure in time they’ll get the course back to normal.
just reopened
Great to be back playing golf
Golf Now said there are carts NO CARTS
Mentioned to starter after round, that I thought it would be helpful if they mowed a path thru rough and path between holes for walkers. Rough is quite long in areas, OK for degree of difficulty but hard and messy to walk thru. Enjoyed all the spring time baby geese
Covid 19 golf
Difficult time for all us golfers... The course was fun design. They haven't mowed in a long time. fairways were long and tee boxes also. But if you were 2 feet off the fairway, your ball is gone. It still felt so good to get out and play and thank you to the staff for staying open.
