Reservation issue

I made the tee time with Tee Off 2 hours before my tee time. They had no record when I got to the course. Luckily I had the reservation on my phone so they could verify.

Not worth the 14$ I spent

My wife and I and my young son played there. Since I have 3 golfers in the family I am accustomed to playing courses with bargain prices. I paid 14$ for this course and it was not worth it. The fairways are trash and barely distinguishable from the surrounding rough. The greens are fine though. I do like the layout and it could be a beautiful course, but no it’s not worth paying anymore than you would pay for a bucket of balls.

Overgrown but cheap

The course is very overgrown and in poor condition, but still playable. Not bad for the extremely cheap price though.

Much improved

About a year ago I wrote a scathing and, honestly, sad review of this course. The only thing good was the bar.

Well, the most critical element is remarkably improved; the greens!

Way to go course management! Thanks. It was sad to see a beautiful course go to waste.

Fairways are still cow pastures but, hey, I can move my ball to real grass.

Lovely layout, good greens, horrible fairways

Very beautiful landscape and interesting layout. This could be a destination course if only the fairways were anything but the horrible mix of weeds, grass and sand that they are. Greens were good, but a bit slow. Why they don't maintain the fairways is anybody's guess, but they are truly in horrible condition.

Weeds-plentiful

I love this course, but I am sorry to say it is really in bad shape. The greens were mostly good, but the fairways are covered with weeds and the rough had not been mowed for quite a while.

Not worth it…

I left before I finished 18 bc the course has no grass, I’ve seen goat farms in better condition… I’d recommend country club at silver springs for a great course around $20 through this app. Played there three days in a row this week after playing this place. No comparison. Hard to call this place a golf course … if it didn’t have flags and tee markers no one would know it is a golf course

Sad decline!

This place was once beautiful and fun. Now, it can only be described as a cow pasture. 20 years ago it was one of my favorite places to visit and okay. Not worth any amount of money. I wouldn’t play it for free. So sad…

great value

Course overall was in good shape. A couple of greens need help and it's time to mow the fairways and first cuts. Pace was great. Amazing price.
