Beginner's course

Don't expect super pleasant greens or fairways but if you're a beginner like me, at this price point, it's unbeatable.

I do not like the fact that if you book your tee time online (via GolfPass or similar) you are not allowed to rent a cart.

Worse 9 hole ever

Ive been to multiple 9 hole courses, this one was the worse out of all of them. Poorly marked holes and tee boxes. Signs on the ground because they were rotted out most confusing course ever. 9 hole courses are suppose to be simple.

Waste of time

1st, The picture does not reflect the course. It is anything but green and well maintained. 2nd, The driving range nets are down on the 1st hole and range balls litter the course. 3rd, the staff personnel are rude and unprofessional. 4th, most the driving tee's are dirt just like the fairways. 5th, the noise pollution between cars, trucks and planes is ridiculous. Save your time and money !!!!!!

You get what you pay for

First off I'd like to say that this course is not good if you're really looking for a good game. However if you're like me and a casual player or someone pretty new and you just want to play a short game, it's a great value for the price. Good place to work on your short game too.
