Domed greens
Every green on this course slopes away from the middle and are very firm and hard to get the ball to stop. Our foursome putted from the fringes on most of the holes after wathing our approached roll off the sides/front/back.
Bald guy at the front sucks
Been coming here for a while and the bald guy behind the counter was a first to give any issues. Won't look forward seeing this fella at the front desk
Old
The course was in good shape. But the area and amenities are very old. The staff was outstanding. Very friendly. They actually made the day better.
Bang for your buck
Fairways nice shape tough greens makes it challenging due to easy course
Nice course
Nice course but needs a lot of work in between tee box and greens. But it does show they are trying.
I got paired up with 3 other nice players! Had lots of fun.
Ok
A plain Jane course. Good for a warm up.
Just played the back nine. Par 34 with even a par 5.
Suspect the front nine more of a glorified par 3 course. Course was in decent shape and pace of play was ok.
Fun layout though quite short. Nice views of the superstions. Kind of over crowded for the price. Waited 2 or 3 deep on several tee boxes.
Always fun
The course and staff continue to improve day by day!! It's in such beautiful condition these days!! It's a gun course but challenging especially those greens!!!
Oldie
First group out for the day. Pace of play was perfect....Surrounding community run down and neglected. Definitely takes away from your experience. Good course for beginners to practice on at a fair price.
Good course for your money
Course for an executive course had the nicest fairways I’ve played in a while down here. Greens were changing to say the least. Great value for your money if you like playing executive courses
Jipped a Hole for a poor scheduling
Been to this course several times and never once had an issue. Had 4 people in our group and had a group of two behind us. We were playing as a reasonable pace on track to finish 18 holes in 4 hours. We were told by groundkeeper that we had to skip a hole due to them being behind. We did so and went and waited for the group in front of us to finish their par 3. There was no reason for us to be rushed and we were not compensated for missing a hole as we paid for 18 holes and only got 17. I will avoid going here moving forward
