Great layout

Conditions were a bit dry but course was still green throughout. Greens were blazing fast. If they thicken up the rough around the greens, it would up this course another level. Tee boxes were clean. Great layout of a course with varied terrain. I played this course a long time ago. Loved it then and love it now. Friendly staff.

OVERCHARGED

Made reservations for 4 and we all played. 12-26-20 (7 days later) I got notified by GOLF NOW that my entire group didnt golf thus they charged me for the other players who didnt golf. I CALL BS! We all golfed and i've tried to reach out to GolfNow, but they have not direct line or contact points...

SAD, they just lost a customer for simply mistake by clerk.

Good shape!

My last review for this course was rough.

They’ve improved significantly. Sand traps were groomed! Hole 1 no longer has a pile of grossness in front of it. They’ve made it into a legit little water hazard. Still not pleased with the grounds within 25 yards of the green. A ton of crabgrass, tough to hit with any touch. Greens are rolling good.

They’ve come a long way.

Fellow golfers:: fix your fairway divots. They give you sand. Use it. Too many hacks out there tearing up the course. Be respectful.

This course needs more attention to fairways

Overall a good course. It could use more up keep throughout the entirety of course. Dead trees, unkept surrounding, lack of watering does create golf difficulties. The Staff was nice , pleasant and professional.

Won’t be playing again until Summertime

Like playing a dirt lot

The fairways hardly have any grass. The tee boxes are garbage and the greens look like they’ve been through ten hurricanes and a sandstorm. You couldn’t pay me to play here. And I’m one cheap dude.

For these times , it was really good. Yes there was dead grass and some dirt. And tee boxes were not level or manicured,

We had a great time

Not what it use to be

Clubhouse... “Golf Now has their price, but we’re going to charge you more for a single cart (+10.00) because we don’t have enough carts”

Fairways and Greens... Little if any grass on fairways, and greens are rock hard

Pace of play... It’s crowded, but 4 1/2 hours is do-able.

Recommendation... You’ve been warned
