Fun little short course

Good value for the money. Pace of play was a challenge. Had an extended wait at every hole. I believe it took about 2.5 hours for 9 holes, this course could’ve been done in 1.5. Definitely go on a weekday if you can as I imagine it would be much faster which would make the course very fun.

Cold weather
Used cart

One and Done

Have driven by several times and decided to try it. Here is my take: "No carts allowed in the parking lot." This is a problem due to my age. I had to walk my bag of clubs, and I consider it to be a real inconvenience. Check in was easy, efficient, and pleasant.

Hitting off a mat and not being able to use a tee (no way to pierce the mat) made playing a high stroke deal.

Fairways??? No such thing. Clumpy grass, large barren areas with NO grass. The only parts of the course that appeared to be well kept were the greens, and they were excellent!

The course layout is very compact with the exception of having to cross busy streets.

YOU may think that the tee box locations are obvious, but I do NOT. If it hadn't been for teaming up with two other players who were familiar with the layout, I would have wasted a lot of time and effort deciding the location of the next tee box. It is a good thing I took a driving cart, or I would have been even more tired and frustrated, and with regard to the driving cart, it was old, but OK. At least the brakes worked.

In my opinion, "One and Done" would be my apt assessment.

got a prepaid deal on Golfnow. The reservation did not say it is for 9 holes, assumed it is for 18 holes. Once I paid, the email confirmation says it is for 9 holes, that sucks! The golf course asks me to contact Golfnow. I don't know why the golf course does not coordinate with Golfnow to get rid of the trap. It looks like this problem has been there for a while and will continue to be there for some time.

Greens were in good shape

this course is great to practice your iron play with greens in good shape. course is obviously an older course with some tee boxes that aren't ideal. But its a good value to practice your full bag of irons if you choose with the occassional opportunities for your driver.

Read the fine print

I'm furious that golf now mispresented and or failed to adequately detail the fact I was paying for only 9 holes of golf.....when in fact was lead to believe the golf round was for 18 holes. If in fact the round was for 9 holes ...there was no benefit in using your service. I would have done just as well by making a tee time directly with the course.

Very disappointed.!

Greedy

All tee times double booked because they know people will still pay to play for some reason. This course is full of beginner golfers so by double booking each tee time they are slowing down an already snails pace of play even more.
