Course is in terrible shape

There is a reason it is so inexpensive. Fairways are patchy and in very bad shape. Greens are the same. This course needs to shut down for a year and let the grass come back.

Overall the golf course is in tough shape. With the lack of water from water supply line breaks, gopher holes, and greens that appear to have some type of fungal issue, play was effected y the conditions.

We like the course a lot but are concerned about the recovery work that is sorely needed.

Hello and thank you for your review from your recent round of golf. We realize the course is currently in substandard condition for the reasons you explained. We had two pumps stop working during over-seeding which led to the spotty conditions. The pumps have been repaired, and we are working diligently to get the course back up to par. We hope to see you return in the future under better conditions. Thank you

Friendly staff

The course called and told me they had temp greens on 2 holes and would be reducing the pric3 to compensate for it. I was thrilled that they would do that on their own. Had a great day

. Thank you

Hello and thank you for your recent review! We realize the course is currently in substandard condition and are working hard to get it back to par. The greens on #10 and #17 have reopened and are in good shape. They will be a bit slower than the others for another week until they can cut them down. We hope to see you in the future! Thanks again

Hello jterry and thank you for your recent review. We realize the course is currently in substandard condition We had two pumps that went down during over-seeding, which coupled with the extreme temperatures during that time, led to the current conditions. We are working diligently to get it back in shape, and hope to see you return under better conditions.

Very Rough

Very poor conditions for entire course. Greens are lumpy.

Roughs are mainly weeds.

Fairways are dirt and some grass.

Tee's are unlevel.

I would avoid.

The course is in very poor condition. The sprinklers were running on quite a few of the holes and we had to wait or manoeuvre around them. Lots of holes on the course and the tee boxes need attention. Will not play again. The staff were great.

Fun course

This is a fun course. I enjoy the length of it And there are some challenging holes. Old school feel and definitely a deal at $38 at 6:30 in the morning. Only two other sets of golfers out there with us.
