Greens are great

Re-seeding was in progress, so it was cart path only. The fairways were in good shape with only a few bare spots.

The greens were in excellent shape

Staff does not like inexperienced golfers!!!

My friends and I are trying to improve our golf game and we decided to play on this cheap course. Our party of four was advised not to drive on the grass and stay on the cart path only. We followed all the rules and since we were not allowed to drive on the grass if we hit a ball and it sliced away from the hole we would hit again to prevent walking a whole lot and playing slow. Our abilities to play aren’t the best but we were having fun until the course host drove up on us and started yelling that our “golf etiquette” wasn’t appropriate. We apparently hit houses and were playing bumper carts. We were not intentionally trying to hit houses. The carts had no damage whatsoever. We were following the rules and trying to have fun. The old men must have not liked the 4 young men enjoying their Saturday off. Overall I rate the experience a 1 star and I will not be golfing at this establishment again.

Waiting for the grass to grow

The weather was perfect, but the Fairways were not. Today was “Cart Path Only” since the course was recently Re-Seeded. There were several Bare Spots in the Fairway where the Grass has not grown in. One hole had at least Two-Thousand Pigeons eating the Grass Seed in the Fairway.

The Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great course!

We have played a couple times, one before seeding and once afterwards. Course is pretty good right now, still a little growth happening to round it out. Great staff and restaurant too!

Course not up to par

The course is getting ready for their annual reseeding.

The fairways are thatched with debris lying around.

The balls get caught up in the extra grass left lying on the fairways.

The greens are somewhat better but have sand on them again reading for the seeding next month.

Usually, this course is in perfect shape so we were taken by surprise at its current condition.

Not worth the Hot Deal

Upon arrival the customer facing staff were friendly. On the first tee box had 3 grounds crew near and sprinklers on hitting me while I was setting up since the moved the tee boxes up. Also, until I said something they moved from left center of me. With the amount of grounds crew that I saw in my 3.5 hours the course was extremely beat up. Not a healthy course condition. I’ve played it his course in February and I don’t remember it being so bad. With the amount of locals that play here I’m surprised that there isn’t more pride in the course conditions.
