This course is a solid month away from being below average

The course was in terrible shape. The greens were despicable. The staff was not friendly the two men that were the starters were unacceptably rude. After you put your golf bag in the holding location if you dare go touch it the starter acts like he owned it. Be careful this course is overbooked and getting a refund is like pulling teeth.

Spend the extra 35 bucks and go play a different course

Deceptive business practices .

We booked online. After arriving to the chore and paying through the pro shop. The arrogant starter, who thought he owned our golf bags after we placed them in the holder informed us that there was no way that we were going to get 18 in as they had almost every cart on the course and that the pro shop should know this. It was a fight to get refunded. I know math is hard but refund the 18 and charge for nine problem solved.

We played nine holes. It was in absolutely horrible shape. It looked like they were taking out every tree on the property. The greens were like putting on a bit of weeds place somewhere else. The day after playing this we played Long Bay for about $35 more and it was absolutely amazing. I was so disappointed as I remember playing this several years ago and having my best round of the year there.

Disappointed

We had been recommended this course by many and we’re looking forward to playing. First off this course is under construction and the greens are in horrible shape. Don’t expect any good rolling putts. The only positive thing is that most fairways are in decent shape as are the tee boxes. Some of the fairways are torn up as they’re putting in a new arrogation system. For the price we paid I suggest golfing elsewhere as we played 3 other courses in the area which were in much better condition and the greens were in excellent shape. They should advise on their web site working on course and provide a discount. Once the greens are repaired and construction done we will try again.

Not good…..

Fairway and Green were in such a mess. There were no grasses on the green, but there were lots of digs. So when I putted, the ball bounced and rolled

Good value

Besides the greens being a bit shaggy, all in all a great place to play. Expected conditions for the middle of February.
