Babe
Nice hidden course in a neighborhood . Houses on all holes. Overall course was in average condition. Kinda tight fairways but not horrible. Pace of play was good until we caught a 4 some at 12. Took us 1 1/2 to play 12 then 1 1/2 to play the final 6. Not courses fault. Would play this course again if I was in the area. Price was also very affordable.
Cow pasture
This is the worst I have ever seen this course.Every fairway has bald spots and weeds .The greens are terrible,one green(16)had holes 3 inches deep in it.Go somewhere else.I thought it was the best in the TSA group of 3 but not anymore.
Good course
Always have fun coming here. The staff is great. The fairways could use a little work. You have to try the burger!
Fairways are terrible - play elsewhere for now
Used to play here a lot, but haven’t in the last 10 years or so. Fairways were punched as of 5/30 and had huge sand/dirt areas in them with no grass, and a lot with very small amounts of grass. Didn’t look like they had been watered. Greens were in good shape. It’s a muni, so I’m not expecting Augusta quality, but this is the worst I have seen it, ever. I’d spend a little more and play one of the other courses in the are that is not burnt to a crisp and has grass in the fairways.
We like this course, but...
We play this course every couple of months and like it. They started aerating the fairways during our play but it only affected the first hole (for us). We will keep playing here. Good value.
Some Challenging Greens
Few fairways that are nice big and open, but the greens are where the fun begins.
Poor putting surface
The putting surface was , on most holes, very poor. Bald spots, dead grass spots. And some areas of mostly sand.
Consistently Good Golf
I’ve been playing at The Babe for over 30 years. I can say with confidence that the course is playing as good as it ever played. Fun course - enjoy yourself.
It's coming around for a Muni
There hasn't been much rain, but I think they are doing the best they can. I always enjoy playing there.
Friendly staff. Nice greens today. Spotty grass in fairways but overall pretty good value for a public course.
Needs rain
Played there 2 weeks ago, greens and fairways were green. Today they were a little toasted. We need rain.
Disappointing
Played here several times earlier this year and found the greens to be in excellent condition. However, having the lack of rain and watering have left the greens in fair condition. Fairways and rough are also very dry as well.
I hope they can bring it back.
