Hope they can improve the greens

All in all, an enjoyable day. I played on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy, so pretty slow. The round took about four and a half hours.

I got a little frustrated with the junk grass on the greens as it can deflect your putt in a different direction. Most of my missed putts came down to my own mistakes, but the grass cost me a few strokes. One of the locals said the course got infested with some insects years ago and it never quite recovered. The other 18, The Pines, is being renovated as of April 2025. Getting new greens.

the course is fun and still challenging

The fairways were a little bit thin, but very playable until the spring growth is complete. This was my first outing in about a year due to health issues. I plan on seeing you about one a month this year. Thanks for all your efforts to keep the course in good condition and fun to play.

Drove by the course about 1:45 or so this afternoon. I counted quickly 10 golf carts on #1 hole on the Oaks. Do you people not understand about not going to the tee box until a few minutes before your tee time? They will probably be lucky to finish before dark. All these other golf courses to play close to the price you pay at FWB but no, they want to play a 5 hour round of golf on a course in so-so shape. People are morons LOL

Enjoyed my day. City park type of conditions.

A lot of reviews mention course conditions. It's similar to a lot of city park courses. The grass is still somewhat dormant. The greens are not the best, as there's more than one type of grass, but they are mowed to a good height. A little slow, but not bad. Fairways are similar. If you hit your ball into the woods, it may ricochet off tree roots and get lost. The roots can cost you 2 or 3 strokes. I had lunch at their restaurant and was satisfied. If you are looking for fantastic course conditions, not here. I started my round at 2pm and finished at 6pm. There were a few groups ahead, but not very busy. My first time here and I will play again.

Don’t waste your time

Staff was friendly. Course was the roughest I have played in the area. Not worth the drive or the lower price.
