Terrible, this is not a golf course

There were no fairways here. At best the "fairway" was long rough and at worst it was a swamp. Dont waste your money. Find an empty field and hit balls. No difference.

Poor quality

I like the way the course is laid out, but the course conditions are so bad that it ruins the experience. The greens are indescribable, and if you make a divot in the fairway you will break your wrist. Good pricing, but all you can think about is how badly the course is maintained. I would go there all the time if they actually cared about what the quality of their course.

Just absolutely terrible

Was charged $30 at 7pm on weekday for 9 plus cart. Complete rip off. Garbage all over the course. Tee boxes completely overgrown. Most greens are majority dirt and weeds. Whole course feels like you are driving on cement. Random piles of dirt in fairways. Carts are not cleaned. Completely unplayable golf course. Has always been kinda bad but thought Id give it another chance and it just seems to get worst. There is no care for customers or course conditions clearly. This was the last time.

NO

First time playing here in 25 years. It is hard to believe, but it is in worse shape than I can remember. Only Oakland's and Rio Vista are in worse shape and they have been closed for years. There is a reason why it is on golf now for $10.

Can't beat the value for the money

I've payed there many times with my father. The course is challenging. Lots of water. Straight as she goes is the way to go on this course!

Yes the greens are not great. I understand that they mistakenly fertilized them twice and got burned but they are getting better and should be all good by next year.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Very poor condition

All greens are in very ruff condition.

Sand traps were all grown over

Staff was not very helpful

Maybe try going back in a few yrs and hopefully course will be in better shape

Absolute garbage course with a terrible owner

This place is the worst golf course I've ever played in my life. Much better off playing any of the surrounding farmers fields near by as they are in much nicer shape than this dump. There isnt anything even remotely nice to say about this place. Even the owner/staff are pieces of garbage. Advoid this place. Couldn't even pay me to go back

unplayable greens

This course has no watering system. How can you expect to maintain a golf course in the summer with no water?? The greens got worse as I went on. Some greens only had 20 % grass and the rest was burnt grass and mud. To me golf is all about putting out. Some of the cups were sticking up above the so called greens. Sorry I waisted the 9$ and 20$ in gas. The course might be playable in May but not in the summer or fall.
