6 hour pace, food takes 30m+

Never playing here again.

6 hour pace, maybe longer but left on the 15th hole.

Food took 25+ min at the turn, didnt have that much time and they wouldnt give me a refund.

This course is managed as poorly as any course I’ve seen. They dont even try to pretend to do a have decent job. Terrible range that needs to be leveled.

This place would be better off closing, and using the space for new homes.

Good ol Franklin

I live 5 minutes from the course so I know what to expect. Fun layout...not great conditions but playable. Staff is friendly. Range balls suck.
