Great course for the price on GolfNow
Great layout, fairways were nice, greens were in above average shape but a little slow. Sand traps had small rocks in them but other than that it was well worth the trip.

Nice course
Course was a lot of fun. Challenging but not too terrible. Mostly in really good shape. A few bare spots on the sides of the fairways, just gotta hit em straight. Friendly staff and good carts.

Hidden Jewel
They’ve been doing a lot of work and it’s starting to show. Fairways are starting to fill in nicely. Greens are always slippery and the day I played, they were shower than normal.

Worth the drive
Course has done a 180 on the fairways. Nice job Tempest. Huge improvement with the re sodding of some fairways. Greens rolled great. Bunkers need attention. All washed out. It Rained the night before my round. Still looks like they need an overhaul. Definitely worth the trip though.

I put $100.00 in gift cards on the app and I was charged through my bank account instead of gift card balance. How do I use my gift card balance to play golf?
