Pace/Rough

The pace here is terrible. They never have enough carts so there’s always a back up. Holes 7-9 will take 25 min each. Then you’ll get clogged on 12-15 too. Can easily take 4 hours to get through 12 holes. The roughs here are awful. They use really bad grass that’s always wet and muddy so it’s impossible to hit a good shot out of the rough.

Eye opening

Things started off decent enough , it was a very diverse and inclusive course as their website said, a wide range of people there but you wouldn’t feel you would normally be golfing ,The course definitely had a more laid-back attitude than most I’ve ever been at, the course layout was reasonable the fairways were decent and the greens although they were aerated showed that they would be pretty fast if they were in normal conditions,But everything else sucks, the rough is the worst I’ve ever played , it took so much time to find any ball , you needed to be within a 15 foot radius of your ball to even have a chance of finding it, there were several lost balls by everyone playing, pace of play was much slower because of that,My roommates car had a attempted break-in in the parking lot in the middle of the day…. There were bums walking around the property , homeless encampment right next to the park, We were forced to share carts in our group, and those cards ultimately died before we finished our round and we had to finish the round walking….. upon finishing our around and the person in the clubhouse refused to give us even any sort of compensation or a refund, not even just the cart itself, we were told to call back in a few days when the manager was around … we got treated in a very niggardly fashion, I have never seen a cheaper stingier golf course in all my days playing, 1/10 The only reason I gave it a one is because it’s gold and we played golf, would definitely not recommend and would definitely tell people to avoid this place at all cost, I’m the best I’m the champ

Tall grass

If you don’t hit the fairway, good luck funding your ball. The rough’s are not up-kept at all and it’s a struggle to find your ball even if you know you barely missed the fairway

So Darn Slow

The pace of play was horrendous. They sent us out as a 2-some and by the time we hit the 2nd hold we were waiting on 3 groups. Never improved and took about 5 hours to play a short course. Really poor experience.

Tee times backed up over a hour

My group had a 7:24am tee time. Their were at least four or five groups waiting. Ended up teeing off at close to 8:30am. Didn’t even finish the 18holes.
