Horrible greens

Not worth $55 to play. The greens were by far the worst I have seen in a long time. There were large sand spots on the green, not from over sanding them, but to cover the lack of grass on the green. They are not cut and have sod pieces all over most of the greens, which is impossible to put.

Decent course rude marshal

The course is overall pretty nice. The greens looked to have Been recently re done so they’re still not grown toghther. We took a 2 putt and kept moving. The ranger drove up on me hitting my irons in the middle of the fairway and followed us around hounding us about our cart being back at 8:30. The pro shop staff was very friendly though

Nice course but the greens are work in progress

The course is really nice, staff is great but be aware, the greens are in rough shape because they are being re-done. The price reflects this and the staff communication is great.

Awful GReen

The greens here were atrocious, shouldn't even be allowed to play certain holes. Some greens you need to chip just to get the ball moving and it's like rolling on a carpet with holes.

Still has a long way to go.

If your going to charge top course prices your course should be in at least good shape. Actual greens play like temporary greens. We just gave 2 putts once on the green, that's not at all what we expected. On several occasions we still have move the ball right or left to putt over grass. They gave us a coupon to come back and play for 40$ but that's what they should just charge up front. . I understand that they are making progress and it takes time but to charge regular cost while you do is not good business.

New Owners, Greens are terrible as always

Have been playing this course 20+ years, seen several owners/evolutions to the course. New owners last June with years and years of PGA logistics/operational experience. Promised to redo the entire course makeover/Clubhouse reno.

In that year the tee boxes/fairways have made great improvement, clubhouse currently in a complete reno but looking fantastic.

However, the greens for the most part are unplayable. 3-4 look fairly nice and green, the rest are a mix of good grass/dirt/sand/weeds. Several greens have "half and half" good grass and dead grass, some have 4' wide strips of sod running the length that you have to putt over/through which is near impossible.

And the grass that is used is like sticky flypaper. You expect a 10 foot putt but it's lucky if it rolls 4-5 feet, and that's on the GOOD portions.

After a year of rework, it would be expected the greens would be top priority and looking AND playing well but sadly not. Love the course but right now it's really not playable to any form.

I love this place because it’s so doggone difficult,

if you can defeat hole number two, and hole number 10, you’ve got yourself a good game

but the greens, they’ve never been good for years and I just wish I knew why. it’s like putting on shag carpet mixed with sand and fresh sod.

Such a shame

I loved this course but the last few times I played here there has been huge deterioration in course conditions particularly the greens which are now almost unplayable

Won’t be going back till they’ve been fixed

It’s such a shame because the staff are great and the course has so much potential and I am sure the club house will be great when the renovation is completed

Please work on the greens to gain my custom back

Whoever got this place a 4.5 Star rating LIED

Saw the 4.5 stars rating and thought what I’d heard about new ownership putting money into the course had taken hold. Yeahhhh…NO. Memo to the owner: DUDE…golfers will put up with about most anything…except crappy GREENS.

And they’re crappy…as in not a SINGLE ONE was even CLOSE to playable. Y’all should be arrested for larceny charging people what you’re doing to play this place.

Lesson learned…I will NEVER give you another DIME of my money. FOR SHAME.
