Only play with a discount.

Only play here on discount off Golf Now. Greens are garbage, rough is 5 inches high, grass clippings everywhere. Golf carts had zero mix for fixing divots. (Up keep of the course is not good.) But they did upgrade their golf carts…probably won’t be coming back.

The course needs attention

I’ve only played here one time many years ago. I was surprised by the overall condition of the course. The bunkers had grass in them and very little sand. The fairways were long- kind of like my lawn at home. Greens were on the slow side but okay. The pace of play was 5 hours which is unacceptable. Overall, I was very disappointed and won’t go back. It’s pretty obvious that the management doesn’t have the resources to keep the course in good shape.

The Course Needs Repair

I've played this course many times over the past 5 years and twice this year so far. I have never seen the course in the current (poor) condition. Several of the bunkers are in terrible condition (more weeds and dirt than sand) and have been ignored for quite a while. Signs are posted that they are in repair, but I have not seen any repair being done. Some fairway spots are bare as well without repair. Greens were fine, but some tee boxes are mostly weeds. I've heard that the course is up for sale. I do like playing this course, but sadly I won't be playing it again until I see improvements being made (maybe with new owner).

Pace of play

No organization at the first tee, people teed off when they wanted. There were 4 twosome playing the same hole. We wanted to pair up with a twosome but they did not want too. Had to wait on every shot from the 5th hole on. Pace would have been much better if they would have formed 2 foursomes.

Slow pace of play

I really enjoy this golf course, played a few times a summer. But unfortunately the last 2 times I've played the course the pace of play had been slow, especially in the back 9. Still really enjoyed my round and would play again. Staff very friendly, course was in good condition, longer playing from the back 2 tees.

Solid Course

Fair challenge for golfers of most levels. As hot as it was would like to see more water stations or a beverage cart. Some of the greens were patchy but overall a solid course.

Upkeep

Weeds everywhere. No sand in the bunkers, but plenty of weeds…..so bad they needed to label many as ground under repair. Funny they chose to put money into new carts over the course. Used to be a fun course to play. Lots of different shots. I hope they choose to put some money into the course. The layout deserves better.

What a difference 10 years makes!

I played this course about ten years ago and it was pretty nice, but it's now in horrible condition. Almost all the sand traps don't have enough or any sand in them and there's vegetation growing out of control around all the edges. It seems as if they just stopped putting any investment into the golf course for some reason??? I fear the course will be closing soon for I don't see how anyone would want to play it again in it's current condition. Very sad!
