Greens where horrible, fairways are great.. The lawn mowing team where always in the way and didn't stop mowing when near by golfers. For the price they are charging they really need improvements.

Please help

Since the new owners have taken over the course has became so bad. Greens are pitiful at best. Cups are changed about every 10 days. The driving range was over seeding with rye but on one to hitting off the grass 1 week out of the last 120 days. It is fun course to play but get it fixed.

Greens need work

Solid layout and reasonably priced course but the greens need work. I played in a group of regulars and they said they are bringing in an outside company to fix a few of the greens in bad shape. Hopefully will be better in the near future.

Can’t believe it’s getting worse

This course is even worse than before. How they can justify charging “season prices” for the sand tap greens is beyond me. Even made me pay a full rate for a rider, but at least the staff was friendly telling me the charge.

Green Conditions are Terrible

I’ve been playing this course for 20 years. I’ve never seen the greens in such terrible conditions. And they don’t tell you how bad they are when they take your money. And the pace of play was extremely slow. There were two different groups of 8 people playing together.

This is just not right!

I have been playing golf for 10 years, I have never been to a golf course where the greens were in such bad shape ever. It’s to the point where this golf course should seriously think about shutting down fixing their greens like a normal golf course, then reopening.

They are charging $55 for a round of golf, the greens have more rot on them than grass, it’s like putting on marble with fertilizer and sand everywhere. It’s absolutely horrendous, for $55 around this golf course is insane, at least have some humility as an owner and aggressively discounted the round of golf, you can’t even call it Golf because once you get to the green, it’s more like hockey!

Greens need a tremendous amount of work. Booked my tee time knowing there were four open tee times in front of my hoping for a quick pace. I had to wait after hole one and then a group of two jumped on in front of me on hole 5 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good Fairways, bad greens

Good value. Fairways and tee boxes have good growth, however MANY greens are almost unplayable. huge patches of no grass or sand filled dead areas on many greens. With half your game on or around greens it is a detractor.

The greens at the only thing stopping this course from being my local favorite.

Great layout, staff and amenities. But the greens.

I know staff is doing the best they can based on budget and our lack of rain this past winter. But this seems to be the same issue every year. When the greens are as small as some of these, 1/8 of the green being sanded and looking like property bordering the straight of Hormuz, makes for a rough day for putting. I have faith and the love this course.

Greens are Terrible

Greens are diseased and in repair. Balance of course in good condition. Value for the money with greens as they are is poor.
