Hold off a bit

Course is in pretty rough shape. Not totally their fault since it has been hot and dry here for months but I hit 9 of 14 fairways and 7 of those 9 fairways I hit my ball was in sand. Also when it's 90+ degrees is it to much to ask to have more than one water cooler per 9? Great little course but they could definitely do a few of the little things to make it better.

GREAT VALUE

The Greens were great---a few bumps, but mostly excellent.

Fairways were pretty nice. Only real issue was some of the ground around the greens. Some spots had sparse grass, making pitch shots a little more difficult.

Tee-boxes were a little sketchy. Could use a lot of help there, but not enough of an issue. After all, that's what they make Tees for, right?

All in all, a fine track with a good layout and enough degrees of difficulty to test almost any level of player.

COULD be a great course

When you consider all the factors, this course is one of the better options in the immediate area especially in terms of price. Unfortunately the staff here seem generally upset or just not very kind for some reason. I think it is safe to say that most people are pretty happy and excited to play golf (before the first hole lol). That's why it makes no sense as to why the staff here display such poor customer service at times. Funny thing is, golf is built around the concept of proper etiquette. If there was a better option for cheap golf so close to where I live I would boycott this place. Maybe they know that and thats's why nothing has changed.

Impressive

First time playing this course. Course is great condition. Everything was nice and green. The greens are a little slow for me but had a good pace. Most fairways are wide and greens are mid size. It was a fun track to play with a little variety. I would highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Good Course

This is a decent course and was in pretty good condition. Fairways are open and water doesn’t come into play very often. Price is right off season and it’s very easy to play. I’d definitely play this course again or recommend it to friends.
