3 1/2h, 62 par course with diversity of holes with serene views!

I like this course and try to come as often as I can.

It was very difficult to find the balls in the fairways today! It was not cut and the flowers makes it tough to find the balls.

It was allot of geese poop and feathers on hole 16.

It was extra expensive since it was Memorial Day so I wish it was in a better shape.

Hopeful this is taken care of for my next round ;-)

Typical county course

Understaffed. Nice enough people but not enough of them. Had a guy on his first day, alone in the pro shop. Ran out of carts. They gave us pushcarts that had to be put back together after every bump. Absolutely no signage so grab a map. Some of the greens were laughably bad.

Fun short 18hole course

I’ve played El Caruso. many times. It’s , fun, challenging, and pretty well maintained. Practice putting and chipping greens are good and driving range mats are newer. The employees are very nice.

Too expensive for Course

Course had very few carts. Rough was way to tall! So if you didn’t hit fairway your ball was good as lost! Greens were airated so nothing you can do about that. Tee boxes are not numbered so have fun on your adventure maneuvering around course

DUMP!!

This course has potential but not maintained well.

The pro shop looks like an abandoned haunted house. The perimeter fence along the parking lot is not inviting and tells you the place is dilapidated right away. The ramped entrance has the feeling of a very cheap place and it is exactly what the place is. T box signs are confusing and most noticeable is the male person at the pro shop (not Alex, Alex is very nice) who is very mean and acted like he's running a military facility. Never I will go back there again!

Confusing course for first timer

My friend and I got lost twice playing. It would be much easier if they had labels on the course. Facility was dated and so was the equipment. Cart seat was falling apart. The back nine got fun but it was overshadowed by the fact that we didn’t know where to go. I can’t state enough how simple signs or flags would help first timers. Probably won’t go back if I can avoid it.

A great Par 62 course with a variety of holes

Staff was great today! The play was quick (3hours!). The greens were is pretty good condition too!

It is a little difficult to find the ball because the grass was left a little long in the fairway and small white flowers makes it difficult to see.

We will be back soon for another exciting round :-)

Golf Carts

I have never had this happen at any course I have played. About 3 holes in our carts battery was going away and we had to baby it in the rest of the front 9. Gave us a new cart at the turn and we went about 3 more holes and that carts battery was going and had to baby that cart the rest of the back 9.
