Should lower prices when conditions are not pristine

played here for 20 years, seen better grass days in landing areas. greens needed more water, not sure what happened. many courses should lower prices depending on grass conditions. scenery is awesome.

Good but going Private

Nice layout! Course in good not even close to great condition. Slick greens, good but lots of repairs in fairways! Service mediocre but the 3 guys I played with were awesome! Mr. Sudan and Jack & Bryan from Dublin!

Waiting to turn private - so course in poor shape.

This course is turning private in June of 2025. It seems because of this, they are not taking care of the condition of the course. We wanted to play the course before it turned private, but was not worth the money. Also - unless you are a huge Jack Nicklaus fan -- the holes are nothing special. The great thing about the course is the staff. AJ the starter was great - gave us lots of information and was very pleasant. I would spend your money elsewhere for golf.

Course was in great shape. Greens were fast. AJ, the starter was great. The bunkers were a little hard...lol. I learned from experience. All in all, it was a great experience. Too bad they are going private

Overpriced.

I found the course conditions to be subpar for the amount paid. Greens were good, bunkers inconsistent and a lot of bare spots throughout the fairways.

Cancel Fee w/ No Convo?

Arrived to the course over an hour early and informed them we learned that morning our foursome booking would be just a threesome. Pro shop said no problem. Ate breakfast, warmed up and the while the starter (AJ) was doing his intro we heard on the radio the pro shop tell him we were only a threesome and they weren't told. AJ said don't worry about it so we tee'd off and all was good. This morning (next day) I got a notice from Golf Now that I was being charged for the 4th tee time. I called the pro shop and was sent to the Pro's VM. I understand these things happen but the lack of communication at check in is not cool. I know they're close is closing in a few months to go private, but to squeeze out a few dollars, not have a conversation and then hide behind VM with no return call after 6 hours seems like pretty terrible customer service. I planned on playing maybe once more before they close but not now.

Very upset that this is probably my last time playing this beautiful golf course because in about a month or so it will shot down for renovation.

Going to miss playing here....

Love this course. Going to miss playing here when it goes private later this year. Enjoyed it very much, even though it was one of the most expensive courses we played on this trip

Not worth the time or money. The course has been sold, and is in crappy condition and is NOT worth more than $20 to play it. This course is closing in June and is being torn up and revamped and going private. They do not care about conditions right now.
