Bad Shape

We were told this place was closing down last time we came. But to our delight we seen it was still open so we reserved a tee time for about 70 bucks at 1120. The fairways were mostly in bad shape. The greens also were in bad shape tons of dry spots and craters. Bathrooms on the course were abused as well. For the money I iwll not be coming back to this place. Its sad to see it go in such bad shape.

Great Staff, Nice Amenities, Hard Fairways

Great value for money and convenient to get to right off the freeway. Course layout is fun and not too punishing. Greens were fast and had some well placed pins. Only downside was large areas of fairway that were rock hard to the point of being better off hitting out of the rough.

Pros far outweigh the cons and will definitely be back again.

Wonderful track!

First time out here and I was sad to here it is likely going away soon. I always love a good RMG layout and they've really made the most of the land that they have.

Walked it in the mid-afternoon in under 4 hours! Wish golf was like this more often, and I do hope circumstances work together for this place to stay open.

Great course

Great range sand practice putting green and great layout of 18 holes. 4 hour round. For some reason the owner is about to screw up terribly and turn it into a camp ground. Dumb move. Apparently his water bill is high. Weak.

Greens are too slow, and there are a lot of patches and uneven spots off the fairways. I did not have much fun playing the course due to its poor condition.
