Swamp

Course was a swamp. I get that it rained the day before but drainage was awful. Tee boxes are beat up. Greens were aerated but was patchy some holes. Course seemed to be going down hill compared to previous years.

Wet winter day of golf

The course was wet as expected, and greens appeared recently aerated but in a very good playing condition.

Used cart

For the amount that we paid, the greens were not in great shape. There were holes that had divots all over the green and sometimes had to putt through bumpy stretches towards the hole.

Challenging Layout But Poor Course Condition

All the "greens" and some "fairways" are pathetic to begin with. What's happening? This is a great course in terms of its challenging layout.

Could use some help on the greens. It was mostly moss instead of grass

Way overpriced

Clubhouse staff seemed like I killed their dog. Range balls cost five dollars and are in pitiful shape. Whole course is a mud hole. Don’t know where the starter was. I waited the whole back 9. One of the par fives was a par 3. No mention of this prior. Wouldn’t pay over 30 dollars for this course. Won’t be back because they clearly don’t care about the shape of this course

Expensive mud hole

Very expensive for the condition course was in. Everything is mud including fairways. Greens very inconsistent. Pace of play was pretty bad. Only redeeming quality was one friendly staff member

Downhill

Been playing here occasionally for several years. One hole was closed for some reason and we didn’t get an advanced notice or a discount. They were way behind on tee off. The marshal was very rude and unorganized. A simple walkin talkie would make them 10x more efficient. Only course I’ve played in a while that still requires a receipt at the first tee. Last time I’ll play here. Very over priced.

Course in bad shape

I typically don’t write reviews, but needed to since this course is in bad shape. I’ve played out here over the years with good quality conditions.

Now, the cart paths are cracked all over. You could barely talk or keep a drink from falling out it’s so bumpy. Most of the sand traps were flooded or sand had run over edges and out and many have the base fabric underneath showing. Drainage issues all over the course. Tee boxes are moldy and wet. 5th hole is closed but no offer of a discount or a free small bucket of balls??!?

It’s as if they stopped investing in the course over the past year as it’s gone down hill quick. Wouldn’t play for the price until they repair and invest.

Much improvement needed

Cart paths are a wreck. It's like going off road.

Most of the tee boxes are nearly 1100% sand at this point.

Half the greens, aren't even green.

Many of the holes need help with rain water runoff. I understand the recent rains, but even 2-3 days post-rainy day, you are still stomping around in mud. It's been cart path only for a few weeks due to this.

Don't get me wrong, I love my home course, but they really need to step up the maintenance on the course.

Don’t waste your money

First of all, it’s only 17 holes right now not a full round which you won’t find out until you reach the 5th hole as no one will tell you. The staff seems angry that you are there and are very rude. The course conditions are abysmal. Tee boxes with nothing but sand and dirt with no upkeep, bunkers with mud and rocks with the liners caving in, and greens with sanded dead spots about every 10 feet. I frankly believe they should close for a season to refresh the course as this isn’t the st Marlo of the past and I was terribly disappointed. Please spend ur money elsewhere.
