Terrible

Arrived at 12:50 For our 1pm tee time.The guy running the shop said they had no more carts for anyone and we all had to wait (there were several other groups that had been waiting for an earlier tee time). They didn’t keep any logs of who was up for the next cart so there were arguments about who was next because of the lack of professionalism and leadership. Finally got on the course around 2 and safe to say it was the worst kept course I’ve ever played on. Greens were like putting on mars, sand traps were like landfills, and there were random raw materials throughout the course. Would not recommend.

Greens have been horrible for several years now. Range is a long walk away. Play somewhere else

The course that was left to die

Did I have fun? Yes because I’ve never seen a course that aged. Do you know it’s a great course when there are kids practicing in the middle of it.

The greens are brown and very dead.

We play 18 holes with cart for $15. Enough said

I have to speak on the greens. They were horrible at best.

I really love to support John A White and The 1st Tee but I can’t get over how bad the greens were. Boxes were ok - fairways were decent

Greens in terrible shape

Really disappointed to see John A White go so far downhill. Used to be a really fun little 9 in town but the greens are so bad I would describe them as unplayable. Pro shop staff member even proactively told us they were in rough shape when we checked in and said that they haven't had a greenskeeper for a few months. I hope it gets better during the off-season, but for now, it isn't worth play here even at a steep discount.

A hot mess.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to book a Saturday morning tee time using this app. There is always a cluster F on Saturday mornings and the staff is always frustrated and borderline rude. The fairways are nice and sand traps are unique. But the greens are always awful.

Nevertheless, during the week it’s a nice inner city respite for practice or a relaxing 9.

Reasonable

The fairways were decent in spite of the amount of rain we had been experiencing. However the majority of greens were in bad shape. There wasn't grass on some of them. We putted on dirt on choppy grass.

Always Confusion and Issues

I have played this course only 3 or 4 times and there seems to always be confusion or some sort of issue with the team working in the pro shop. This time I found a hot deal on GolfNow for 18 holes (9 hole course) at a really low rate but when I turned to go around for second 9 holes the team at the pro shop stopped me and informed me the rate was for only 9 holes and GolfNow always advertise it at 18 incorrectly. At that point I just wasn’t in the mood for a long discussion as the rate I paid wasn’t worth the hassle. It was obvious the real issue was they needed the two carts to accommodate other golfers waiting. With the course in such poor conditions and the consistent confusion from the club house team, I will no longer visit this course again.

Municipal Value

The tee boxes and fairways are nice. The greens are not. It's a muni, so then, that's a value since it doesn't cost much.

They had no carts when we got there, staff was not helpful at all and seemed to not care that we had reservations.

Just need love

Good track. Greens are in tough shape but weren’t always this bad. Good practice course for First Tee program.

Nice scenery for a quick 9.

Had a Hole in one on #8.

So I’m a little partial to the course of course!

Inexpensive but could use a marshal to speed pace of play with walkers, hackers look for lost balls, beginners holding the rest of us hostage for just 9 holes.

Otherwise, I’ll be back.⛳️
