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.

It’s been a while

It’s been several years since I’ve played here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the round. Overall solid condition, fixed a ton of ball marks (golfers need to do better) but the fairways and greens were in good shape for the price. It’s short yardage wise on the card, but they make good use of that yardage with the layout and narrower design on many holes that lends itself to aiming for specific targets and angles. The range is nice for a solid warmup before the round. Course wasn’t busy when I played but it seems as though they try to maintain a good pace of play judging by the reminders.

Good Value

The course was in decent shape. They had made a few improvements to some holes. I have a couple of issues that can be corrected easily. The pace of play needs to be addressed. They could give another minute between tee times on the weekend and the bunkers need some more sand in them. The greens were in decent shape but people need to fix their ball marks. I had a good time and would play it again. Give it a shot!

The course was in great shape, considering we had a storm the night before I also noticed they had someone riding around, checking on the pace of play and making sure everything was going smoothly. It really helped a lot. It’s obvious that they read their reviews and take them very seriously and correct in the defects that they may find that is why I feel this is one of the best public courses around right now hopefully I will play this course again in the near future and the lady driving the beverage cart came around a lot and made sure that we had Gatorade and anything else we may need. She was definitely on top of it. Sure do appreciate you.

Wonderful Pace of play!

Throughly enjoyed the round, even though it was cartpath only due to rain the previous night. Some water in the bunkers but expected. Definitely coming back.
