Great Layout, Run Down
The course is well designed with great potential. Bunkers are in good spots, hazards are fun to navigate, it just hasn't had love for many years. People running the show in the clubhouse appear to know nothing about golf. Facilities are poor.
Fairways were in reasonably good condition, rough was okay, greens were average.
This review is based on reviewing a premium course at a premium price point.
Could be great
Could be such a nice course, fair ways and lay out great. Greens and fringes not great at all. Charge top rates for GC for not a champ course
Great Course, must try, but poorly maintained
Not sure what happened here, but the maintenance has gone, and the grounds were poor. Fairways good.
Tees dug up
greens dried out
bunkers more like weed traps, than sand.
Great course for a good value voucher
This parcourse can put the golfers who want to be challenged into the center of the challenge.
Can be very unpredictable.
I have improved since the last time I played this parcourse and yet I was challenged again.
Diapidared
Such a shame. Great layout but amenities totally neglected
Great layout and friendly staff.
This course is a great layout with very friendly knowledgeable staff. Personally this course is very over priced and could do with a bit of maintenance.
Was not impressed at all.
We played at this course many times a while ago and it was well maintained then.
We were expecting the similar conditions but was very disappointed with the green. The ball constantly bounced while rolling causing extreme stress.
Shame on the owners
Such a shame the owners of this golf course don't care. It's obvious how poorly staffed this facility is.
No disrespect to the few people that work here, but the course needs more employees.
Green keepers are this properties first priority.
The location and course layout is terrific, the condition of the course is terrible.
The pro-shop looks like it's just been demolished and awaiting refurbishment.
A day in the life of a Colonial
It was great to play a round of golf with my young son. The course was fair but firm. Obviously feeling the effects of a super dry patch this spring. Believing for a bucketing of rain in the coming week. This would spruce up the fairways well. In the main the fairways are holding up well. The course is always a test for the right of Centre hitter. The water can be in play as a consequence. The pace of play assisted by two groups of four in front of us who allowed us to play through. Very well worth a visit. Well done Simon and your team.
Lots of water but poor facilities
The fairways and greens were good. You need to be straight as there is a lot of lateral water hazards. The club house and facilities need an update. The directions to the holes are mostly missing. You have to guess where you go next. The driving range was the worse I’ve seen. The balls were straight out of the water hazards. Worth playing for the golf but wouldn’t rush back.
Overall condition greens fairways great but very wet in a number of areas Rough and lagoons etc very untidy dirty need more attention
Pretty Rough
The course needs a lot of work. The fairways were well kept and the greens were nice. Bunkers could use some love. But it was the fact your paying upwards of 90 bucks before a cart. The halfway house isn't even open not a drink or food cart. Just for the price your paying standards should be quite a bit higher. If they want people to keep coming at least lower the price if the rest of it is going to be terrible. Probably won't come back.
