Ok course at best

Greens were tiny, fairways were like concrete and the rough was even harder if that is possible. Staff was friendly but the coarse needs to get some love big time!

Terrible

This course could be a beauty if they just did some routine maintenance. Fairways were hard with many areas just dirt. Greens in terrible shape. This course is way overpriced for what you get.

Cow pasture

Pace was excellent since we were first ones out but man the conditions are horrible. Not much difference between fairways and rough. Dead patches and weeds are all over, some tee boxes are just dirt. Could probably be a good course with a makeover. I will never play there again. Waste of money.

It’s fun

Good course to play. Definitely worth spending the money. It was my second time playing the course and it’s seemed to go downhill over the last year. Hopefully the course will be watered someday as the entire course is hard as a rock. Overall the course is laid out well, but the maintenance is lacking.

Worst course I've ever played

Dead grass, overbooked, course is in terrible shape.

Worst golf course I've ever played. +1.5 hours to get through 3 holes.

Avoid this place at all cost. Not worth your time and money

Bad Course Overall

This course is in terrible condition. Fairways are riddled with weeds. Most of the greens were in awful condition. The sprinklers were on the entire time we played. My group almost got hit several times by other players shots. There isn’t a chance I would play here again.

Course

Nice course layout and a couple of challenging holes and a great value and greens could use a little work on a few of the holes. And no beverage cart during the week only on Saturday and Sunday. Well definitely be back for another round though.

Needs a lot of work.

Made an account just to review this course. Started out with 4 groups on the 1st tee as we were supposed to tee off. No marshall moving things along. Staff didn’t seem concerned. Singles, twosomes, and even fivesomes going off on a Saturday morning. Tee boxes were weed covered, hard, and almost grassless. Fairways, rough, and greens were not any better. Some greens had literal cracks in them. Giant cracks like they hadn’t been watered in months. If you want to spend $40, play a terribly kept course, almost get hit with a dozen balls, and wait 10 min between each shot on your way to a 5+ hour round, this course is for you. Zero stars.
