Uneven Greens

Greens had been cut for at least 15 days but were healing unevenly. Very difficult to guage distance.

The worst part was that the cups had not been changed in along time and almost every green our 4some had a ball go down into the cup and come back up and roll out. We learned not to trust any greens.

Started late

There was a bottleneck on the 2pm start time, with 3 parties at the #1 tee at the same time. Need a course marshall at #1 to ensure consistent flow. We started 15 minutes late.

Room For Improvement

Great scenic views and lots of potential. I grew up playing here and was disappointed to see how poor the conditions have become. The course was super unkempt beyond just the water drainage issues that they inevitably face. But probably the most disappointing part is spending the green fees we did for a course that’s severely lacking quality. There are 5-10 courses in the surrounding area including the tri-valley that are more affordable, with better upkeep, have better amenities (such as concession cart). I would love to update my review when their prices are fair or they improve the course.

No Fairways

This was cheap on golfnow since it included a cart, however, the fairways were not cut and everything was like the rough.

Also, the greens are sanded

if you just want to get out to hit your woods and irons and have only 4 hours, you can play here. But if you want to play on good course conditions, I highly suggest to play elsewhere.

My complaint is not about the course itself. It's no secret it does not drain well in the winter. My complaint is about the old man working the pro shop. The course was cart path only the day we played. No problem, till we finish 17. We drive along the fairway at 18 to an alternat tee area as EVERYONE in front of us did. We then saw the old guy walk right up the 18th fairway the commence berating us for parking next to the tee area and not going through the maintenance yard. As he is doing this the group behind us does the same exact thing as we did. I apologized to the old guy and explained that there is no signage telling us to drive through the maintenance yard and that he should address his anger to their lack of direction. He would not hear any of this or accept out apology but continue to yell.

We have no problem following the rules, but without direction or signage even just a simple arrow, what more could we do. I certainly don't need someone yelling at me then not be willing to go look at their own lack of direction.

they should provide info that it is cart path only, greens are recently aerated and fairways are extremely wet

At some point course should notify folks that is cart path only, aerated and fairways are too wet to mow and too wet to walk.

Course was almost non-playable

Because of the recent rains, the course does not dry out or drain very well, a lot of standing water on the fairways that really slowed play! It took almost 6 hours on the front 9, and that was enough for me!

Unplayable Course

Ill-maintained fairways that was basically just rough. Even though my ball landed in the middle of the fairway, the ball was impossible to find because of the rough’s thickness.

Old man at Pro-shop check-in TORRIBLE

Rude and disgruntled front desk staff. Old man glasses, stashe you know who you are. Turning customers away. Horrific course conditions not maintained. Lazy staff decided to change course layout make things worse for patrons so they have to do less work. Don’t mind paying and playing during wet season but this course is ajoke

Course was unplayable!

I have played this course a number of times now, because the layout is very good, and always a good rate on Tee Off website! Due to the conditions of the course this day, I was surprised they were letting golfers play! I stopped after 9 holes due to standing water on just about every fairway(lost 3.balls in fairway in the nine holes!)
