Course under construction

My friends and I have played this many times and find it a great value for Golf Now or military. However they are busy upgrading the course and that is great but so many holes are shortened, the greens have recently been aerated and none of this was disclosed. Personally I'll play there after the conditions improve and look forward to that but for now I'll stay away.

Course construction repairs and maintenance.

There golfnow should know when a course is going through serious maintenance and construction. Never seen anything like this,

I am sure it is nice where you aren’t dealing with these issues.

I would have choose another course knowing this one was undergoing these repairs.

I would try them again when things are complete and no major maintenance is going on.

Under Construction and Under the Radar (Literally)

The course is aesthetically displeasing. Between the ear-assaults from the airport and the police tape all over the place (cart paths under construction, an area where the Fairgrounds must be avoided from the tee, gravel, unmarked and indiscernable curbs, ad nauseum), the course is a whopping disappointment. I'll give it a year and then maybe I will go back.

No longer a goat path

For years 'Navy' was a run down course. At present it is in the best shape I've ever seen it in 20 years of playing golf here. Easy, fun, great course for the average guy who wants to have a good time and not end up feeling like he was run over by an elephant.

Best round for your hard earned money!

The greens are as true as they come. If there was a cart person it would be my home course! The course is in immaculate shape and you will not find a better course for that hard earned dollar!

LUSH FAIRWAYS - GREAT COURSE

This course is very well-maintained. Better than most of the public courses around here. The fairways were lush and green, and the greens were nice and consistent. Pro Shop staff and cart staff are friendly and helpful. Everyone's smiling around here - especially after a good game!
