Good value

Had a very enjoyable round. There were no other players 4 holes in front or behind us. Fairways and greens were good, not excellent. But hey, what do you expect for $43 with lunch?

Getting better

This course used to be in excellent shape but went downhill last year. It is getting better but still has room for improvement. The greens were slow but weed free and rolled true. The fairways are coming back but the tee boxes are poor. still a good deal compared to nearby courses

Pleasant Round BVeating the Weather

Started my round about 0920 and caught up to a twosome on the 10th hole about 1030. Fairways were lush and rough was lose your pall long. Some tee boxes need maintenance but with the exception of some wetness from the daily downpours we were getting the course played OK. Finished the round about 1230 and pulled out of the parking lot just as the thunder, lightning and rain got serious.

Tee boxes in bad shape

The tee boxes were in pretty bad shape, not much grass, but to just tee off, you can find some grass. Same goes with the fairways, but lift, clean and place is always available to use so I don’t agree with those that rate this course negatively I haven’t been here in quite a while and it’s actually in better shape than the last I remember it. For the most part, it’s house free and takes you out into solitude. Houses are coming, though. I’ve always enjoyed this course and if you overlook some discrepancies, you’ll enjoy your round here. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Lori in the pro shop is fantastic. I recommend playing this course.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! PICK ANOTHER COURSE!

My first clue should have been the driving range, or should I say driving field, which is preceded by a sparsely covered range tee box area. There is no signage with yardage markers, mainly because there are no yardage markers. Basically, just see if you can hit the shot you want: draw, straight, fade…yardage doesn’t really matter, right?

Then we have the putting field, I mean “green”. ALL putting surfaces were shaggy and slow. It took 200% more than normal power to get the ball to the hole. On most putting surfaces there is a mixture of sand traps, uneven surfaces, and thick grass. If you can get the ball within 3’ I’d say count it!

Finally, there are the nice rolling cow pastures…I mean “fairways”. Unkept, weed infested and sand ridden “fairways. These were bordered by the most lovely box cut cart paths, which the grounds keepers were ever so diligent about box cutting the “cart path” bout every six holes of your round. They’d also make sure to stop during your shot, right in front of you, which was so polite.

I wish I had thought about taking pictures of all of that happening, but I was so fed up I didn’t even think about it.

The only thing that is there that was delightful was the nice lunch that you get from the clubhouse if you purchase the special. The folks in the clubhouse were awesome, the wait staff was excellent, and the food was great!

Where’s the grass?

If you’re from out of town…go somewhere else!! This course is in terrible shape. The range is a mixture between a sandlot and a cow pasture and the golf course isn’t much better. There are plenty of other great courses to play in the area.

Look out for mowers++

This place is trying to get conditions back to being good. I try to deal with the conditions and have been trying to support this place through out the transition, the price is really unbeatable even for the conditions. BUT when you have to hit around them dressing the bunkers for 2 holes, then a mower in middle of the fairway for 2 other holes it's distracting, aggerating, and completely unacceptable! The staff at the clubhouse are some of the friendliest around and I've already let them know my frustration but I'm sure they don't have much control over it. I wanted to play real gold not mini golf to say with o what's the next obstacle on this hole. It starts at the top with proper management and hopefully they see this. I try to go once or even twice a week to this place and will for sure be taking a break and going elsewhere.
