Bad course

No grass on greens or fairways. Worst course ever played down here. 1 good thing nobody's on course so I flew around the course.

Close the place down

Temporary green in the fairway that could have been mistaken for a waist bunker. Such a nice neighborhood, a shame they have let the course rot.. way over priced $40 but should be $10. Teed off at 10AM no cars in the parking lot and didn’t see another golfer on the course until 1pm weekend Saturday.

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
