Good vibes but needs a lot of work.

Nice course but not worth $40 in it's present state.

Hardly any grass on the fairways and the greens were not any better.

Sad shape

Tee boxes were in tough shape...so we're the fairways...some greens were ok but others had a lot of sand on them...a very strange routing around residences with several cart drives of 3-4 minutes...it is the cheapest golf course in the area...and now we know why
