Want a low score?

12 of the holes are Par 3, only one is a par 5. Very short course. Wish I would have read that before going. It was just okay; fair price and pretty easy to play most of the holes. The staff was awesome though.

You Get What You Pay For...

I fully enjoy this course. It's unique and creative and has a great driving range. The early holes have some major mud problems, but it is an overall fun course.

Good executive course to practice short/medium irons.

Fairly straight forward executive course. not much twist to it. mostly par 3, with some longer drivable holes sprinkled in. Course condition was pretty good. Some roughs and fairway issue with grass length, but greens were mostly great. I could imagine some pace issue if there is a lot of people, especially beginners, stuck in front, but its generally fine.

Pace of Play, Experience ruined by crappy people

Played at this course 4 times now and will probably stop playing here. Course is fine (exec course, shorter than a standard course) and has been cut recently. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Pro shop and driving range is great too.

What kills this course is the people who come here. Groups of 4 randomly jumping in screws up pace of play. Hit a shot on the 11th hole that rolled down the back hill. Had someone get out of there cart, run up the hill, grab the ball and drive off with it. Had people driving around grabbing balls off the ground, in fairway or not. Overall crappy people and attitudes of people. Course is fun and great for short game practice, but terrible pacing (5 hours to play a round).

I don’t recommend

I booked through Golf Now.

I thought the price was not bad. I paid $37

The course was a par 61. I didn’t figure it out before booking.

Most were par 3 holes. and lawn maintenance seemed necessary.

I expoect the golf course to become newer and more attractive.

I like this course

dont expect a perfect course.. this course offers you a chance to actually most of your clubs in your bag... sure you can drive off the tee... but I use my irons to help my game..

Worst Course Ever

This might be the worst course I’ve played in my life, but definitely as bad as I’ve seen in the past 30 years. There are power lines everywhere, sewage pipes all along the course, set me tee boxes are so bad they just have mats. The greens were being aerified with enough sand to start your own island. I’m not sure if it’s even worth the effort. Sand traps are all across the board, some no sand, some tons of sand and there isn’t a rake in any. The Marshall is about as unpleasant as you could ask for and never left the first tee, so pace of play is 5 hours for an executive course. If you don’t care about course conditions, have all day to play, like rude people and want a super short course then play here. Otherwise I would avoid at all costs. I’m completely baffled by how anyone could rate this place above a 1.

Course in bad shape

I wasn't told by anyone that the greens were recently aerated, or that 3-4 of the holes were under major renovation. The "marshall" was also not friendly and quite rude. It has been a LONG time time since I played here. I will not go back...

Shame

I played this course quite a bit back in the Blue Heron days, and i always acknowledged and respected the course for what it was. A budget public course for beginner-intermediate golfers to practice their short games. However after playing it today i probably will never play it again. Tee boxes in shambles, greens have weeds growing rampantly out of them, fairway grass is thin and basically clay in most parts. For what you get, the greens fees should be considerably lower, Chastain Park is only $18 most of the time and the course is in way better condition. Sad to see this happen, maybe i'll check back in a few years and see if anything has changed.

They were dumping and spreading sand on the greens interrupting play. Worse timing ever!

Not impressed

The driving range is nice but the actual course was in rough shape. There was so much sand on the greens. The first five holes I was playing the course had people blowing out the sand pits. It was very aggravating. Maybe I’ll try again one day but it will not be anytime soon.

Summer Saturday Early Afternoon

It was bit hard due to lack of rain and heat, but was well maintained. I would like to see more trash/recycle bins on the course (especially considering they right next to a recycling center). Overall, I had a great round and will be back!
