Golfer Reviews
Not worth the $$
Greens are trash. Fairway? Looks more like a dirt pile. Golf cart pulls back and forth. Save your money and don't wast ur time. Homeless ppl living on the course.
Horrible
This course was THE worst course I have ever played at. The rates for this course should be way lower than they are. Horrible course but the staff was cool.
Waste of money
Staff was not friendly. Course was not kept up and dirty. They just don’t care.
But we were not rushed because no one wants to play here.
Great price, bad conditions.
Layout is weird, overall keeping of the course on the front 9 is not good lol. Fun to play if you just wanna go hit some balls. Very open fairways so lots of crossfire from other holes. Overall had a blast, just wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for something in good condition.
Dirty
They don’t maintain the course at all. There is trash and old dead leafs everywhere. .
Fun
The speed of play was pretty good for the price and the staff was awesome. There were a lot of inflection point where you have to keep your head on a swivel to watch for errant shots but otherwise it was a great deal for the money.
Long walk
I like to play here because the fair ways are long and wide open but still a walkable Place to play . The greens are in pretty good shape the fairways need some water Ibut not bad I am diabetic so it is good for me to play here and get out of my house over all I like this place it is a good walk
Horrible
This place should be closed down. Tee boxes, fairways, greens were all junk. I even heard of people getting mugged or stuff stolen by (homeless) people on the other side of the fence. Saw a homeless person walking on the fairway too. This place is trash.
Poor Experience
The cart died five holes in and when I called an asked for a replacement they said someone would come right out. 20 minutes later, groups are behind us that we allowed to play through. Walked back in five minutes to the clubhouse where I was informed “it was in neutral” and that a technician was at the cart when nobody showed up.
It’s ok
I would say this course is good for beginners but it also needs a lot of work. Tons of holes for moles everywhere, green was really bumpy and most of the course was really bumpy. Also, our cart died at the 7th hole, so we had to leave it behind and just call it a day.
