Think twice before booking!

The greens are in great shape, the fairways are terrible and the rough in some places is way overgrown. Course definitely needs some serious attention in order to compete with other courses in the area. And, the pace of play is horrible, 4 groups on one hole at times. Spending more time waiting than actually playing takes the fun out of the round!

Did the grounds crew quit?

I played this course two months ago, and in that short period of time the course fell into disarray: the bunkers were hardpan, tee boxes weren't mowed or moved off dead spots, fairways were nothing but dirt without being roped off to be regrown. It's like no one has watered the place except for the greens. I've been playing this course for over 20 years, and this is the worst shape I've ever experienced - such a shame.

Needs improvement

The course was not in good shape at all. Too many bald spots on the fairways and the pace of play was too slow.

Good mid day value

Our round took 5 1/2 hours to play (we were a twosome)..A lot of 2 golfer groups, which is good for the twosomes but, does slow the pace of play. A lot of slow players as well. The course has condition issues some mowing in the tee ones was not done and a lot of bald dirt patches. Overall, I would give it a C.

So disappointed

This used to be my go to Course for a while. But had not played there and maybe 11 months. Unfortunately the condition of the course is horrible. It actually looks like they’ve given up on the sand traps, some of the fairways, around some greens and some of the tea boxes. I had never seen a course in such bad shape since I played Victoria in Carson 4 years ago. It’s very sad to see this course turning into a mediocre golf course. I heard from someone that works there that they only have two grounds keepers and I am going to believe that based on the condition of the course. Do you self a favor and stay away, I am

Where's the fairway

First time I've played here in years and now I remember why. Course is overcrowded and fairways are dry and all dirt. This place gets way too much traffic to be in awful shape. They call it a Country club... Not to mention the guy at the end who scolded my wife for going to the restroom without a golfer in the cart. GET A LIFE! Won't ever go back and will never recommend to any of my friends or IG followers.
