Didn’t get to play

The morning of our tee time, I was called by the course and told we couldn’t play there that day. They had no carts for us.

Very disappointing!

On the Upswing

The course has definitely improved in the last few months. Crab grass is gone from the greens, all of the tee boxes in good shape, and the bunkers have fresh soft sand. A few trees came out after the hurricane but it can barely be noticed and on 15 the approach shot got a lot easier. The driver is not really even needed. The staff is always great and each hole presents a different challenge. Keep up the good work!

Good course

Course is undergoing some maintenance on the greens and surrounding areas. Price was great considering the grounds maintenance and the staff is always helpful and friendly.

Staff/course conditions

This course is absolutely awful Robert in the pro shop is ridiculous. For 33.00 to have greens look the way they do is hilarious. Nothing is updated on here for course conditions, front 9 is closed due to being wet, ba m 9 is open for cart path only. They overbook so pace of play will be way down and having everyone play the back 9 will only make it worse. Go play Huntington hills for 10.00 bucks more and don’t worry about anything listed above.

Greens are bad

We like the course. Lots of places to lose balls. But today, the greens were horrible. My playing partner says they are using the wrong grass. But, they were bumpy with very few smooth spots. On the two or three greens that were in decent shape, they were slow. The ones with problems were slick. Made for difficult putting. But otherwise, good shape. We'll be back.
