Grumpy golfer opinion

Extensive rust on many greens, tees generally in very bad shape, fairways as such like the rough on most courses. But very inexpensive and it’s still golf.

Great little executive course

Greens are in bad shape but the crew and new ownership are working hard to renovate and I have no doubt it will be in great shape when they are all done. Staff is awesome and friendly.

Great fun course

Fun course to play when you have an itch to golf. Just needs a little more TLC (in which they’re working on). Putting greens needs some work. Also, would like to see less maintenance workers during early tee times, tendency of waiting on them before being able to play.

Cool aesthetics, The greens need work

Lots of cool aesthetic changes since the last time I played here. The driving range in particular. The greens were just so gnarly, tons of brown patches and bare dirt on most of them. Hoping that with time the grounds crew can bring them back from the dead.

Course condition

Sand traps are great now as is practice putting green and driving range. Too many gopher holes on the course and greens are diseased or have crab grass in them. This is very disappointing

Just don't look at the greens!

New management is still getting everything the way they want it to be, which is totally understandable. The range, chipping and putting areas are spectacular. Staff is extremely friendly. Only issue I really had was the amount of weeds and patches on the greens. Very inconsistent. But for a $20 round, I can't complain much.
