Marginal At Best

Course was in okay condition but that’s about all I can say. Staff was not helpful and groundskeepers got in the way of play constantly. The layout is terrible and hard to navigate. The worst part are the carts. They are setup to lockup if you get out of non restricted areas but locked up 5 times while on the cart path and had to call the clubhouse for them to unlock it. Several other times in locked up in fairways but would unlock if you reversed for a while. The pace of play was atrocious, had way too many golfers on the course. Literally the longest round of my life by a wide margin, over 6 hours! Will not be back

Nice course, took a beating in storm

Amazed they were even open after storms ripped out a huge swath of biiiiiig trees. Super nice staff, but slowest 18 I’ve played this year. Marshals don’t do anything, as our threesome, (w/ two foursomes behind us) waited roughly 10-15 minutes on every tee box. There weee four old timers (no doubt locals) holding everyone up and nothing was done to allow play thru.

Dehydration Station

The Golf Course was in the best condition I have ever seen. They have done a nice job in fixing up the course.

Having said that, it was very disappointing to see that there was no WATER to be had on the Golf Course. Additionally, the Beverage Cart was nowhere to be found. It was a very brutal situation to be out there in the Heat of July, with no hydration opportunities of any kind. I came close to leaving the course, as it was unbearable to be out there without so much as a drink of water. This is very dangerous, and I think that having water for the Golfers is the least that a municipal course can do for its patrons.

Hot Day, but Good Day for Golf

Joined a group of 3 guys who love the game. Great company and a good pace of play. Most greens were in very good shape, especially in the weather. Course hit was some serious tree damage; sad to see some huge trees uprooted after recent storms. Staff very friendly. Great rate as well.

Nice little course.

Lot of residual damage from storms that went thru. Amazing they’re open. Course is nice, and very busy. We’re stacked on 1st tee. Very slow pace of play behind four regulars. But nice enough to tkreally enjoy. Rather forgiving course.

Sammons a fun playing course

First time golfing. The course was in decent shape a few T boxes were beat up pretty bad and several greens had dry spots and one or two were bumpy but overall the course was green and in relatively good shape. We had no holdup from first T on. The course layout can be a bit confusing for first timers but the carts have GPS and off you follow the map on the screen you should be fine. A free extra arrow signs with hole numbers would still be a help. Fun shorter course to play and reasonable. We’ll be back. Thanks for a nice afternoon of golf.

Great Course

The course is very challenging, but several wide fairways make up for some of the water hazards. The staff is professional and accommodating. Some additional signage at the many path intersections would be helpful.

Good Times

Had a great time with my son, but we got behind a very slow group of golfers that extended our playtime beyond four hours. Understandably the course needs some extensive cleanup after the storm.

A course for your whole bag

This is not your standard golf course. It has lots of challenges and demands accuracy. You must navigate each hole precisely and be patient for those scoring opportunities. Conditions are great even though hole 14 was closed due to maintenance. We will be back!

Excellent Golf - Dictator Carts

This is a GREAT muni-course. The greens and fairways are in excellent shape. The layout is nice and challenging. The only complaint I have is the carts with course gate software. How many times did my cart beep and stop telling me I was off the course when I was...you guessed it - driving on the cart path.

This happens 4-5 times per round. Also, you leave the cart path and rather than sounding an alarm that gives you 20 seconds to turn around - that would be nice. But instead it beeps and your cart stops. This gateway software needs improvement OR the guys in the pro shop need to make some edits. This is highly annoying.
