Needs attention

Grass needs mowing, losing balls 1 yard off fairway is ridiculous!

Ball washers had no water!

Water cooler was empty!

Small details can make or break the overall experience

Goat Ranch

Fairways and tee boxes were green, but the height of grass was not consistent of a quality course. Lost multiple balls that fell within 5' of fairway and fairways need to be cut lower. As said elsewhere, the greens were poor. That said, its worth the $25 that they charged, no more.

Play somewhere else

This course is in terrible shape, if you must play here lower your expectations, great course for practice but that’s about it, limited food options. The city/county needs to invest in this course

Slow play - poor conditions

Aerated greens no warning. Rough super thick. Played behind 2 groups thru 6 holes that clearly had no golf experience or knowledge of etiquette. We had to request to play through both groups. No ranger on staff to enforce pace of play on a Saturday afternoon. When myself and the other player in my group finished 18 - no one else had played through the slower groups - and they were on 11 when we finished the round. That slow. Bad.

Worst conditions ever for a public course

This golf maintenance team needs trained by a professional superintendent. Greens were filthy fairways the same. Heard they replaced superintendent for what reason other than bad business decisions more than likely. Greens were awful compared to before Superintendent change. Fusion golf will be out of business before too long no doubt. Roughs aren't being mowed seems like. Before excuse was didn't have a machine now have a machine just sitting in maintenance. Funny their Facebook says they have the dream team gm and Superintendent. May want to rethink that. Joke no doubt

Getting better

New management seems to actually be trying to improve the course. Greens weren’t the best but overall in much better shape than recent summers. Great value…especially with the hot deal!

I have played this course many times. The fairways and greens were in the worst shape I have seen. No starter so a group jumped in front of us on rhe back nine.

Poor condition and rude and incompetent staff

Fairways are bald, rough is 7-9 inches deep and full of weeds and ant piles. Tee boxes have little to no grass, and what it has is way overgrown. New ownership claims to mow everyday yet there’s no evidence of it. This course was better maintained when it was managed by the county. When staff was asked about course conditions we were told that they take great care of the grass and that we needed to get used to it. Will not return, wouldn’t recommend. Save the 25 dollars and go play mini golf, at least the grass there is consistent.

Summertime golf

Great course with a really good layout but it is uncanny how easy it is to lose a ball mere feet off the fairway. That grass type is unforgiving. The greens were in really good shape. I will definitely be golfing this course again.
