COURSE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION

I regret having to give this course a terrible review. The golf pro was very nice. However, the course looks abandoned. I would not be fair to others if I padded my requested review.

The greens were mostly sand. The fairways were extremely poor. Hard pan. Weeds. Little grass. Paved cart paths broken up.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this course to anyone.

Water please.

I didn’t expect much so I was not disappointed.Lack of rain and water restrictions are killing this course. Tee boxes are mostly sand. Fairways are dried out and weed filled. Greens are a joke. The layout is great and they do have new carts but the cart paths are horrible. Pace was good due to lack of business. Serious golfers stay away.

Money can fix this…

Beautiful layout. Rolling Hills. Tree line Fairways. Excellent architecture. Got tired of rolling the ball over 10 feet to find some grass. The putting surface was rough and the ball would often veer off when it would hit a ridge or an obstacle. This place has so much character and so much potential. Rain, chemicals, fertilizer, and time will heal it.

I would play it again if I heard it’s in better shape but for now I will go elsewhere. Yes, elsewhere.

Hope you like the beach

This course was very disappointing for the price. Most of the tee boxes were just sand, and the few that actually had grass clearly needed mowing. The fairways were covered in large patches of sand, making it difficult to get a clean lie. The greens were in rough shape as well, with weeds growing throughout them. Overall, everything looked extremely dry and neglected, like the course hasn’t been properly maintained in a long time. Definitely not worth the price they’re charging.

Poor condition

Course is in very poor condition. Not sure this course can recover without demolition and start over. Cart paths are worse than the California Freeways , Tee boxes are sand , greens are in very bad shape except 1 is salvageable on the back 9.

Why do I keep thinking it will get better 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank God I booked through GolfNow because I was able to use points and a $10 discount and played for $20 bucks, but after playing I quickly realized I should have saved my money. It’s a unique course, the front is a 9 hole sand trap with little clumps of dead grass that if you listen real close you can hear it begging for water. The greens (I use that term lightly) are diseased and rolled flat to resemble grandma’s kitchen linoleum. The back nine resembles a golf course but again in desperate need of water with the greens being a little better. I had high hopes when it was sold to the new owners but once again those hopes were dashed.

Not worth playing

Absolutely horrible condition for a "country club". Not worth the price to play. Cart paths in horrible shape, greens are tore up. Tee boxes are dirt and sand

Tee boxes in pretty rough shape. Greens ok. Fairways mostly brown dry and hard. You’re golfing on concrete pretty much. Nothing to brag about. Don’t understand why it cannot be in better shape. Very cheap owners I assume.

$70 is way too much for this course

New to the area , decided to try this course. First off the staff was very friendly. Really enjoyed the course layout, seemed to be new golf carts, no gps in carts no big deal ( won’t be new for long , cart path is in very very rough shape where there is a cart path shook some fillings loose). Course conditions were not good. T boxes were in bad shape , some had no grass just sand, fairways were not really fairways and greens were very inconsistent, some were thin and fast others were 70’s carpet and slow. $70 for a round seems a bit high for the conditions, maybe $30 or $40 would be a better value. Just my uneducated opinion.
