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.

Good Course

Other than some thin fairway spots and the 12th green overall the course is in very playable condition. Some bunkers need some real TLC. Pace of play for a Sunday teeing off at 11 was very good, 3 HR 45 min.

Terrible course conditions!!

The course is very dry, and it seemed that every shot after the T shot was hit from bare ground. The sand traps were like hitting from plain dirt. The sand was way too firm!! Very little grass and more weeds than grass. A lot of bare ground!

It is time to attend t the course

I enjoy this course, but there is a time when someone must say that it needs attention. Tee boxes are overgrown, as are the fairways. The greens have a blight that require correction. The staff are nice, but not overly concerned. This is a wonderful course but it needs love. Better to invest now than later .

Narrow

Some narrow holes were a challenge. Greens were nice, the rest of the course could use some TLC. Not terrible, but not a course that is a bucket list item either.
