Perfet Day of Golf

This was as close to a perfect day of golf that one could have. The only minor blemish was the greens. They were sanded approximately 3 weeks ago, and still a little bumpy.

Pace of play.

Course is decent for this time of year, but pace of play was horrendously slow. Anytime you’ve to play over 5 hours? It’s gonna be a bad day! But love the course.

Great value for the price

The course was very busy, on a Sunday morning I was only able to get through 13 holes in four hours. They were very nice to play. The condition of the fairways were quality. Free warm up bucket for the range which was so grass, no mats. Cartb was included for the price of the green fees. They had a players booklet with a description of each hole and green with a space for notes. I will play there again soon.

Going downhill

I’ve played this course several times and actually recommended a lot to people it’s fairly forgiving in the course for the price actually used to be very well-maintained. I don’t know what happened in the last six months to a year but the fringes are shot the fairways are not in good shape anymore. there’s a lot of weeds and crab grass growing now where it used to be very nice and manicured . granted the greens were aerated today so that is not part of why I am making this review that’s understandable. Overall I’m glad that I got a hot deal and only paid 22 bucks I would’ve been really mad had it been 35 or $45 it’s just not worth it the carts are old And the course conditions themselves like I said I’ve gone downhill. Hopefully the course while I’m there some of the money on maintaining the fairways and the fringe like they used to.

Great Day of Golf

The greens were still in bad shape, because of the recent sanding. Otherwise, the round would have been excellent.

If the greens hadn't just been sanded, it would have been a perfect day of golf.

Course needs some attention

The course was very rough. None of the tee boxes are level, hard to tell the fairways from the rough. They need some serious maintenance on the course. Greens were just punched so they were extremely bumpy. Would not recommend this course….. Hopefully the owner of the course reads this so this course can get the much needed care it deserves…

Punched and sanded

Was not informed by golfnow about greens being in such bad conditions. Punched and sanded just days prior to playing.

The Round of Golf was Enjoyable

The greens had just been sanded, and were obviously in bad shape. Everything else about the round was very good.

Good bang for the buck! Layout is a little confusing. No 100,150 or 200 yard stakes make it difficult to assess distance without range finder.

Love the military discount. Improve layout with signs and yardage markers.
