Better than average…

$75 a round through GolfNow was too pricey for the quality of the course. Better than average, but just a tad. Hard fairways and roughs were like golfing off blacktop. Wish they watered more. 2 temporary greens because of vandalism was sad. Price should take that into consideration. Doubt I’d go again.

Too crowded

I’m not sure what the issue is but a round of golf should not take 6 hours. Twosomes AND singles taking longer to play than foursomes. No Ranger to speed up play. This course needs to eliminate some tee times. Had to quit after 9 when we rolled onto the 10th hole with 4 groups at the tee box.

Great for the price

We golf here often since it’s a mile from home. It’s a great layout but very slow play. No rangers and it’s hit and wait on every shot. Just plan to wait and enjoy the weather

See you next year

Several greens are under repair.

Not enough rain and the irrigation is not good enough. The fairways are burning in several spots.

See you the next year. I hope with better conditions of course

Overpriced

Greens are getting beat up. 2 greens damaged! Put sod on the greens and not playable but opened for play! Just stupid 😱. Bunkers not in good shape. Number 4 green is horrible!

Poor communication

Starter failed to notify golfers that 2 holes had remote temporary holes with 12in cups. Also, cart guy in afternoon was miserable.

Nice local course

Have played many courses around the country. This is a nice local public course with the best staff I have seen. The course was in playable shape with good fairways. Greens are in the spring grow with minor problems. I will play this course much more in the future.

Two temporary greens

Golf course is in decent shape except for two greens that were damaged by an atv. No notice of this until we arrive at the 10th green. Temporary green 40 yards short and the same on 17. No discount, no warning.

Ok for the price

The course overall is not too bad. Started about 20 minutes behind schedule. Fairways are wide and forgiving. Greens were inconsistent and in poor shape with 2 greens closed completely. Pace of play was slow.
