Neglected Course

Greens were inundated with duck crap, grass clippings and ball marks. Lots of bare spots on fairways. Wouldn’t play here again even for free.

Foggy Morning

We were the first ones out in the morning .The course was very wet from watering and it was foggy. we still enjoyed our round as the course was open and easier to play. Just what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend this course as it is very forgiving.

could use some TLC. Could be really good.

I have played Francisco Grande many times and like the layout of the course. On this day we arrived to be told the halfway house was not opened. There had been a frost delay and we ended up teeing off only 10 minutes past our scheduled tee time. There is never a marshall at this course and they could use one. There were golfers driving across tees and across par 3 holes that should be cart path only. Ball marks galore, no rakes for bunkers etc. This could be a very good course but they need to control the traffic from golf carts, rope off some areas to keep carts away and get it to the condition it should be in. It is a shame its is not in better condition. Don't know when I will try it again.

Course was terrible

Fairways were disked with unfilled grooves. Old gopher holes between cart path and t-boxes that were there for at least 4 years. Course has great potential but I don’t have any hope. I golfed there 4 years ago and nothing has changed, not even hole location.

Never again

It took 5 hours to play 10 holes and then I quit. I only quit because the group of 2 in front of me wouldn’t let me play with or pass them. Then one of them peed on a tree and I saw his little peepee. I called to clubhouse and they sent someone out and all they did was yell at me. Never ever again will I go here and I hope this place just shuts down it’s so extremely poorly ran and not maintained at all. Had an airplane land and take off next to me on the back nine the time before this. Just literal insanity there.
