Playing Viewpoint

staff were very friendly and helpful. Course layout was good. Tee boxes were average (needed a hammer for my tee on some tee boxes), Fairways were for the most part good. Some places on about 4 or 5 holes had spots where the over seeding did not take. Greens, although on the slow side were the best part of the course. Only real complaint was the standing water on many holes. The course is really pouring the water to the fairways and when you hit a great drive but then see a splash the wind gets taken out of your sails.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate the feedback and agree that the course is not to standard condition. The irrigation system has had issues throughout the season which has led to inconsistent conditions. We are closing the course this summer to make repairs, and will hopefully be able to boast great conditions in the Fall. We hope to see you in the future!

Really Rough rough

Stay in the fairway to avoid the rough and gopher holes. You'll do fine.

Go elsewhere to play

It would be an overstatement to say that the course is in rough shape. Fairways are terrible, cannot get a t into the ground on t boxes, greens are OK.

Appears that course management has given up on maintains the course at a playable level.

Better shape

I played course a few months ago it was terrible. I was told it was in better shape so gave it a chance and it was. Greens were better and fairways. There are still some rough fairway areas but overall way better. Will play again soon

Deep Rough

As long as you stay out of the rough and gopher holes you will enjoy this course.

Greens were great! Better than some other courses in the area.

We had a 7:45am tee time and were sent out 20 minutes early. Weather was perfect.

Some tee boxes were being allowed to heal, so several were moved up to the RED or forward tee box. So, plan accordingly and choose the right club for the distance.

very poor course conditions

as a local full time resident i play this course frequently due to reasonable costs compared to others during the bulk of golf season. however this course has become so run down that i will no longer entertain visiting again. with the exception of a few greens this course is totally unkempt. the par 3s are totally unplayable. tree branches and leaves all over the greens. tee boxes with grass so high it hides the ball. losing balls in FAIRWAY due to high grass. impossible lumps in rough area contributing to bad shots. unfilled cable ditches everywhere. Extremely slow play by golfers who are un-policed by a marshal leading to long delays for all. this is a SHAME. it has the potential to be a leading course in the area but until management fixes these and a host of other problems resting on your laurels as a resort course from days gone by will prove to be you downfall. it is not WORTH the green fees at this time.

Good course for the price!

Sure there were some dead spots, and the rough around the greens were not as well manicured as they could’ve been. But for the price 50$ before 8am I’d say it was worth the drive! Was expecting more gopher holes than fairways but that wasn’t the case at all! Friendly staff they got us out 15 minutes earlier than our tee time and we finished the round in 3 hours and 20 minutes!

Business as usual, more or less

Third time playing this course this winter. Found the greens slower than usual(?) and a few bare spots here and there. The fairways were generally good but again a few bare spots.

Love Playing Here

Staff is amazing. Always nice and friendly. History of this place is wonderful and always a good time. The course plays long, and trees cause plenty of trouble for novice golfers but always love playing here.
