Going the right direction

I’ve always enjoyed this course. The greens are always on point. Most fairways are green and manicured. My only complaint would be some of the tee boxes.

Besides that, you can’t beat the cost for what you get.

Too many golfers

A beautiful fall day, course in good shape and all this was ruined by Casper Mgt chasing the almighty dollar. Have played Porky’s many times before and have always like the course. Today was the worst time I’ve ever had there due to 7 minute intervals on the tee times. That’s crazy to think people can play a hole in 7 minutes. We were about 10-15 minutes late at the first tee due to 3-4 foursomes waiting to tee off. Every hole there was a wait and on some holes there were 3 groups at once on the hole. Mgt trying to stuff as many golfers as possible on the course ruined what could have been a nice day. That’s why I don’t play Rock Manor anymore and Porky’s has just joined the list of course I won’t play anymore!!

Hadn’t played “Porky’s in a while

Liked the changes to the layout; tee boxes and some fairways not in the best of conditions.

Greens just aerated and are in good shape.

Would play again- close, friendly staff, plenty of good golf for a mid-handicapper.

Ok for the price

Fairways in rough shape - tee boxes beat up - greens were fairly nice. Course layout left a little to be desired. For the $35 it wasn’t a bad value. Would maybe play again under right circumstances but won’t look to play there regularly.

This course is in bad condition.

The course had crabgrass, bare spots and no bar or any food at 6pm.
