Worse course ever

The course was in terrible shape. Tee boxes were terrible. The back nine had 7 par threes in a row. From 125 yards down to 66 yards. It was a joke. The scenery was bad, the guy running the place was rude. No food ready at the turn. Just a miserable experience. Just find a putt putt course to play instead. Also it was $70 a person. Should have been $70 got a lifetime membership to plays this dump.

The course was fine for the money, but in rough shape, especially in the fairways. All in all, fun day of golf

Worst experience ever!

My foursome was behind two other groups that were playing extremely slow. After nine holes, both groups left. At 11 the starter came to us and said we need to pick up the pace. We explained what happened then he said we need to play faster. Shortly after that the gm came to us and demanded we play faster. We again had to explain what happened and he just stormed off and said we will meet at the clubhouse. When we finished our game we again spoke to the gm and explained what happened and said that we were in the wrong for not complaining about the group ahead of us. The GM did not seek to understand our side and ruined our friends first time at the course. I have played numerous times and never have been treated so poorly. Ill gladly pay to go somewhere else from now on.

Short but enjoyable!

Our foursome was pleasantly surprised to find this course very forgiving as the fairways were wide. We will return to play again as the course layout is familiar to us now. Thank you for the course map as three of our foursome had not played the course before. An enjoyable course to practice your irons!

Very slow play. No beverage cart,no gps even though they claim to have it. No starter, no rangers, ok we’re ok. But kinda bumpy. Overall overpriced and not worth the money spent. That said. I played well

At Least I Can Get A Tee Time

Greens (small) & traps are good. Course is beaten up by the power carts; only tight lies; no rough.

The nice part about the 64 par layout is that the par 4's & two par 5's are a good test; some of the par 3's are long. Several surprise ditches didn't show up well on my Garmin.

Decent pricing.

Play was really slow. Where is the gps? We didn’t have that although it said they had it. Not worth the green fees charged. No drink cart. Lost money on their part. Prob not my favorite course in the area. Could have been better. Stopped in the club house at the turn to get something to drink. I one there working?

Ok, even fairway is not great grass

It’s dry. Steady in fairway. Greens are fine, however. Back nine in 75 minutes max
