Won't play here again

The staff was great. The course was poorly maintained. Dry & bare in spots, swampy in others. Weeds growing sporadically in the fairways & greens. The breakfast burritos did not impress.

I expected a much better experience for the money.

A lot of forced carries.

First time playing the course. I played with someone that has played the course many times, glad I did. Playing this course for the first time without some knowledge is tough. A lot of forced carries so you have to know where to lay up. The only problem was the fairways were really wet so you weren't getting any roll. Greens were in great shape, bunkers were also in great shape. As I said the only problem were the fairways. Made a mental note for the next time I play the course as I will play it again.

Disappointed On How Bad Course Conditions Have Become

This course was able to justify its cost at one point, but that is no longer the case.

There are weeds growing on about almost all fairways, and there are areas multiple holes that have a lot of moisture - it made for a swampy setting…in the middle of summer- that is confusing to me. The tee boxes were atrocious.

I wish this course was in conditions that justify this price. That was the case at one point, unfortunately that is not the case anymore. Will not be coming here for the remainder of 2024.

Merced player

Expected the fairways to be cut better they and around the approach areas near the greens in bad condition although the greens in good condition, overall quality was good but weeds need to be removed or sprayed I would recommend but for the price it's a hard pick.

Not quite hidden gem!

Love playing here! It can be alternatively busy or not. Varied and challenging holes, feels like you are in the country although overlooking edge of town. Eagles, deer, wild turkeys all around. Homes not really in play or a worry except for maybe 2 holes, still in the main it has wide fairways.

Just recently discovered they have a Senior discount weekdays (maybe excluding Fridays)—extra nice!
