Good value

Price is fair for the condition and quality of course. I’ve come to really enjoy this place and although the clubhouse is dated, there is no functioning restaurant right now and no meaningful driving range I find the positives outweigh. The course is in pretty good condition. Greens are in mostly great shape. They do have a cart girl and the course is challenging enough but not too difficult.

Played this course many times but hurt it was in bad shape over the summer so I avoided it. Just recently went back and course is in good shape. Much improved from over the summer. Greens are in great shape. Enjoyed the day golfing and scored well.

Looks like they are trying hard to rejuvenate the course. Greens are good and layout is very nice.

Great price on TeeOff.com. Not so much when you call the course. Approximately $20 difference.

Poor conditions in tees and fairways

Most of the tee to green both fairways and definitely rough was hard pan . Very sparse grass. Greens were fine. The lack of decent grass in fairways was very frustrating. Like hitting off n mats at driving range. Would not play here again until a major improvement happens

Not quite the links at Victoria

Really poor shape all around except for the greens. Tee boxes are dirt and bunkers are also dirt. Was fairly open after we skipped a hole where 4 older gentlemen refused to let us play through. Company was good though so had a good time. Won’t be coming back even if the round was free though.

Horrible

This is a really bad course. Not sure if they don't water or just let it go..Fairways are nothing but dead grass. Sand traps..what the heck..No sand mostly mud...Tee boxes have zero grass some are just sand.. really should not even be a Golf Now course or at leat not 43 $.. They call it a Country Club. OMG. Worst Course I've played in years..
