Very disappointed

Course was NOT ready for play

Grass was not cut

Debris and heavy machinery littered the course.

Advertised carts on golf now, no carts available, the push carts were ALL broken, no straps, bag fell off carts non-stop because of the rough terrain.

Holes were not easily accessible, large mud pits and uncut wet long grass between greens and next tee blocks. Never seen anything like it.

8th hole was not playable at all.

Yardage was inaccurate, and massive ruts and tire tracks ruined many of the greens that were the worst I have seen EVER.

This course should not be open to public or at least not advertised on golf now as a “hot deal”.

Would appreciate a response or a voucher to compensate. I understand that some courses are not great, but if carts are not available golf now should not advertise carts, and should not be under category hot deals. Very misleading.

Windy weather
Walked

The course was in poor condition. It is under new management. They are in the midst of improving the course conditions. Would have liked to know this before we golfed. As well it was only nine holes not 18 as indicated. The food facility was excellent and the staff were very accommodating.

Poor course conditions

I have played this course last year 3 times, and the course conditions were great. This was my first time playing here this year and I was a bit disappointed. The putting greens are browned and some were floded by the sprinkler (Hole 9). Some greens had some top soil dressing, looks like repairs. The fairways were mowed however the clippings were left around the putting greens, I lost 4 balls somewhere in those clippings. I will wait until course conditions improve. Too bad, I really like playing this course.

Wait till summer

The course has a lot of flood damage and some greens in bad shape

Early in the year and it will improve

Staff could have told us that the 15 th hole had a temporary green set in the middle of the fairway

Lots of bugs with proximity to the river

Canada geese leaving their mark on fairway and greens

Wait till summer

Short course

There is only one par 5 hole.

When I check the website before I visit there but there were no informations for the course.

Golfnow should try to provide details of the courses before the customers choose their option. Many courses on Golf Now don't show the course details for now.

One of 18 holes is under construction.

The staff was very kind and reliable.

The promotion rate was $25(tax and cart included). It was not much different with Golf Now's Hot deal price. It was a little bit disappointed fact.

Good course for beginners

Lots of par threes but they are long ones so for beginners work well. Friendly relaxed environment inside and outside the clubhouse.

Recommend for players new to the game or those that want to practice their mid and short shots.
