Staff exceeds expectations
It's March so green & lush would not be a fair description. I was a little disappointed that some (forward) tee areas had no grass at all. Temporary? There had been some recent aerating but that was not an issue. I'm used to better course quality at this price point. That said, I'm likely to play here again. The staff was friendly and helpful on every level.
Sunkist
Course is tight but we’ll taken care of. Booked through app and prepaid for 45 dollar rate, arrived at course and they wanted an extra 20 per person was only downfall.
Better courses in area
You get what you pay for. It was very slow and the fairways had just been punched, chucks of dirt everywhere and local high schoolers did not want you to play thru. Don’t go late afternoon.
Great time
Great pace and course was in pretty good condition.
What a chill course!
My wife (not a golfer) looked around and found this course, but wasn’t confident enough to purchase the round for my birthday (we were going to be in the area). I checked it out and snatched up the hot deal right away.
The picker was down, so I couldn’t warm up on the range, but I was able to start early instead.
The course is well laid out and well marked. There are not a lot of “gotchas” to worry about, so it played very straight forward. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were all in great shape and the pace of play was excellent. there were several spots where the cart path was being repaired, but that was not an issue because I’m happy to see a golf course making necessary repairs.
This was a very enjoyable, no stress round. I recommend this course!
nice coarse
no beverage cart are water on coarse. need atleast one of those.
Nice course
Sunkist was pretty straight forward, but the raised and elevated greens provided some defense of the course!
It was.the first time playing this track and I'd recommend it to any level player !
Nicely laid out with a fantastic staff!
You'll enjoy it!
Better be sticking your irons.
The course is not all that long even from the tips. What makes this course good are the greens. They have nice speed and are much smaller than they appear. Many of the greens have severe slopes near the edge which repel shots away from the putting surface. Play to the middle of the green is good strategy on this course. Thoroughly enjoyed the round and will be back.
