Never again

Worst course I have ever played. When I got there the club house told me I paid too much because on line it was cheaper then Golf Now. That has been proven to be correct.

The course is built in a swamp in a valley, the fairways were mud, the tee blocks are terrible, greens have been chewed up by bores and ditches are wet; but streams are dry.

Every shot you had to clean off your ball.

Needs better maintenance

Course layout is nice, tough narrow fairways. If management can keep the fairways green without all the dead spots it will be worth playing again.

I'll never play here again.

My buddys an I played here on December 5th. This past Saturday. 1 of 4 of our buddy's had to cancel. Due to a covid scare on his job site. He just wanted to be safe. When I tried explaining this to the cashier. He just replied 24 hour cancelation policy. My buddy wasn't notified until Friday afternoon after he was already home. I have no control over that. Most people I would think that hey this a valid reason. Not to this golf course. The course itself is dangerous. Holes play into one another. Ill never play here again.

Great setting. Good value.

I loved the course setting. You're out in the middle of a valley with widlife and trees. Deer are out on the course and no houses lining the course. The course was a little torn up due wild boar? tearing up the fairways on a few holes. The cart paths were a little rutted so it made for a bumpy ride. I'd play this course again.

Has gone downhill fast

This place used to be really great from the mid 2000s-early 2010s as a sneaky great golf course. Tucked into the valley and has amazing views and all the potential in the world to be great, but it's slowly and steadily gone downhill over the last decade as they neglect the course. Wish someone would revitalize this former gem!

Management sucks here

Course isn’t maintained enough to be worth their price.

90 minute delay for the course to defrost....management should’ve planned ahead. Started the 6:30 group at 8:30.....seriously guys? You know the weather, plan ahead and tend to your course.

Tee boxes are not maintained at all

Dozens of mud piles in the fairways. These also could’ve been because of hogs (seen this a lot over at some South Bay courses).

Overall, just a disappointing round due to lack of maintenance. It could be a fun course to play, but I didn’t see any evidence of grounds crew taking care of it.

At least the employees at the bar were nice and helped make us comfortable.

decent course

Since it just poured a couple days of ago, course is not to wet. But the greens were not cut, so they were very slow.

Also part of the fairways had raccoon damages, greens keepers should go out and patch those holes in the fairways. Pace was so so, since the group in front was walking and green to the box are somewhat of a distant on certain holes. Course could have been better if tee boxes are maintained, so as fairways and mowed greens. If another storms come through, course will be to wet to play. Otherwise, with the price we paid $23 with a cart can not complain for going out since covid all courses are overcharging to play golf. Will play here again if a really great deal comes around.

greens were punched, & fairways had lots of bare sports and hardpan making for tight lies. Wild boar tore up many areas. Plenty of wildlife on course and nice scenery.
