Course Conditions and Greens Poor

Have played this course many times over recent years and always liked it but they currently have a rot going on that we did not find out about until we got there. It was on almost all the greens and there is a temporary green on the 17th hole in the fairway. Just writing this so someone else can see this before going.

Let's step it up guys!

I usually enjoy this track, but, in the two weeks since I was last here, the greens have dried up something terrible. Good thing I got a deal on the fees. See you guys later in the year.

Awful Greens

I don’t know what’s going on here…There isn’t one good green on the entire course and we had to pay 68.00. All they gave us was a bag of 15 golf balls, no discount on greens fee. Don’t waste your time or money until the greens are back.

Course is in bad shape

Greens are dirt and sand with small patches of grass. Tee boxes are dying too. Can’t believe they charged $76 for a round. Save your money and go somewhere else!

Bad greens

The greens were tore up. Barely have any grass. Backed up 4 deep on one Par 3 due to the maintenance guy watering the green.

Fairways and layout great. Greens poor

Fairway and the course layout is great.

Greens were in poor shape, making putting very much hit or miss.

What happened to the Greens

Greens were in horrible shape with brown spots and sand over most of them and not much grass on them.

Also - several holes have temporary tees that have been there for several weeks creating some really short holes including a 424 yd par 5. When is this going to get fixed?

Poor conditions

All 18 holes it was no grass on the grass all the greens was sand..even the tee box was no grass.. I wasted my money on this course. And the people at the clubhouse didn’t say anything about how bad the greens were.. I wish I could get my money back.. I think they should close this course down until they can fix those greens

Horrid conditions of course

Generally, this course is decent. Today, was below mediocre at best. 5 holes in a row there was a guy water the greens and even parked his cart ON the green while we were teeing off! My group told the staff, they did seemingly nothing. Greens are in terrible shape, and if you’re familiar with windy hill, the greens are better there! That isn’t a compliment, considering windy hill is a $25 course. I want my money back, as this was absolutely embarrassing, and truly poor conditions. Worst I’ve seen this course in the past 3 years. Photos attached, there are two similar, where I teed off a great shot, and the jack wagon literally started water my ball…. Pathetic.

Terrible Conditions

The greens are some of the worst I've ever played. Fungus all over the greens, massive divots from unrepaired ball marks, and extremely inconsistent from one hole to the next. I will not be playing here again.
