Awful

Should be a federal crime to charge the money they do to play there.

Dried out. Course is dying

Course is dying. They’re not watering it for some reason.

Lots of fairways are starting to go bare, lots of dried caked mud patches again. It was good about a month ago, lots of grass, good thick rough in many areas -

The front 9 is faring worse than the back.

Why are they not watering and maintaining the place. Looks really bad.

Go elsewhere if you can until they get it back. It’s really bad in some spots

The course was in horrible shape

Used to play here once every few weeks around 10 years ago. The course was great for the $ & easy to get a tee time! Now it’s very difficult to get a tee time and I don’t have any idea why! The course is now like like a goat pasture and not watered or taken care of at all! Don’t expect it to be like a country club golf course but it’s like a garbage dump even for a city course!

Course is healed up from seasonal punching and played great. Great place to walk if you don’t like hilly courses.

Get a clue

Review is more about a run in with a single, entitled, disrespectful guy who cut in on us but I’ll get to that.

Tee boxes a bit beat up. Greens medium and decent. There are hard pan areas in fairways that weren’t there a few months ago. The right greenside bumker on 9 had nice sand; as you know some are hit or miss. The one on the left fairway of 10 had a crusty top layer.

So, onto the unfortunate part of the day. Our foursome was putting out on 12 when we spot a single cut right in front of us, without saying A WORD and just play on through as there’s a foursome in front of him. My buddy catches him on the tee at 13 and he begins to get angry and loud when all we ask was that he say something or have the decency to ask. Got all crazy when I asked his tee time (2:35) and we were 2:55. Says the “couple” he was playing with abandoned the round. So where was the other single because there was a waitlist. And more importantly, how did he fall behind and magically appear and cut in on us? Shoulda stayed his position on the course. Anyway, we finished in the dark as he was purposely moving very slowly on purpose as to attempt to annoy us.

So folks, here lies the problem. Learn the etiquette of the game. Be kind, play fast and don’t start crap. Ain’t no one gonna wanna play with you. So you know who it is: straw hat, motorized push cart, Raiders headcovers. Maybe even iron covers haha
