tee boxes

This is the first bad review I have ever written. Most of the tee boxes were dirt and being redone. Two things should have happened. First that should have been noted on golfnow,secondly the makeshift tees were not even mowed down. Atleast two fairways were being reseeded and no note of this. One fairway was shutdown(14 I think) and no note of this. Complained in clubhouse and expected some sort of compensation. No such luck

Tee #12 where are you?

Nice course - few obstructions on fairways, minimal number of bunkers, super friendly staff, quiet electric carts.

Negatives - greens have no fringe and are showing wear with patches around the outer edges, several blind shots down hills and around turns on the back nine, and lack of appropriate directional signage especially for #12.

Rough shape.

This course is in very rough shape. The greens are poorly kept. This course has really gone downhill over the past year or so. It's fine if you want to just hit some shots, but don't expect a lot.

not to par

I had not played this course this year but have many times in the past. Greens were ok but fairways were not good. Tee boxes needed to be mowed.

Some work needed

I used to play this course a lot but it has been a while. The condition of the fairways and greens were not in good shape. There needs to be some work done to the course to get it back to what I was expecting when I made the reservation.

Needs Some Work

It was acceptable for the price; however, there could definitely be some improvements. I had played here a few years ago or we would have had a difficult time finding the next hole on occasion. It weaves through houses and is not clearly marked where to go. The fairways were dry and choppy, but tolerable for the price. I think at least one of my playing partners will not return. The greens were fair, but some had bad spots making it difficult to keep a ball on line at times.

Under new ownership

Course was in rough shape, apparently it's under new ownership so it probably wasn't being cared for as well during the transaction. Hopefully it bounces back, was a hidden jewel.

Dissapointment

Spent $ through GolfNow to secure tee time & had to play through a group that was already on the tee... plus the staff was rushing us to tee off 5 minutes earlier than secured tee time due to tournament traffic making the turn. The greens were close to un-rollable due to fertilization & neglect. The majority of tees were spotty w/ bare spots & non-level marker positions. Fairways were decent. Rough was so thick, balls were extremely hard to find. Course has been in much better condition in the past. Dissappointed.

Course condition was not great, but it was a good value as a hot deal. Fairways on the back nine were in poor condition.

This course needs some TLC.

My 3 buddies and I recently played Canewood and we were all very glad we had to only pay the Golfnow discounted price of $17. The course definitely needs a dose of TLC to bring it up to par. It seems the neighborhood HOA is going to be taking over running the GC in the near future....Good Luck with that! It is that very same neighborhood that has over-run its borders and encroached upon the playability of the course itself. Homes jut out of nowhere and become a hindrance to an already very tight fairway lay-out. The tee boxes are sad and dysfunctional. You minus well just tee off from the fairway...same thing. The lone bright spot was the man running the weekend shift at a lonely clubhouse. He was very friendly....probably because he hasn't talked to any golfers all day. I remember when this course first opened up in the area...it was a good course with just a few homes sprinkled here and there. Now there are houses on top of houses, houses on top of fairways and a strange golf path that winds through people's driveways, backyards and led us down streets with no clue to where we were supposed to go. It was a rough old day.

Nice little course, but needs work

Let me begin by noting I like this course. It is close to home, convenient and usually not too crowded. However, they had just areated the greens and poured so much sand on them that they were barely playable. Fairways were dry and hard, but with rain coming in they should be better soon. Front 9 is nothing special, but the back 9 is more challenging and attractive. Was able to get in 18 with my son in 3 1/2 hours. Looking forward to playing this course again when it's in better shape.

has potential but not maintained.

Sparce grass on tee boxes & fairways. Neither had been cut in a while. Greens had been aerated but did not know that until we got there. A little pricey for the condition. Will not go back unless price is is much cheaper.

Weekend get-away

Great example of golf, although not super long, the holes had enough dog-leg right/left to keep your attention. I really liked the 150 poles as they were black/white poles in every fairway so no guess work from the tee box as to which club should be used.....

A nice close to home course

Lot's of roll with the lack of rain. Greens are receptive and maintained. Number 7 is now a long par 3 (vs a par 5) due to road by-pass construction.
