Course in poor condition

I haven’t played vineyards in a few years .

I was disappointed in how bad the fairways were and the sand traps were the worst I’ve ever seen . I was bumped because I talked it up to my friend who I played with . It was very disappointing to see it in that kind of shape

Tough Back 9

Played this course a few times and today was the first time I didn’t lose 6 balls in the front 9! This is a tough Par 70 course for me because of the slopes and hazards. The back 9 is challenging. Enjoy playing this course. The fairways were decent and the greens were nice. Don’t use a white ball on 10 and 18 because they are near the driving range. If you’re a righty and slice your white ball, you won’t find it.

Relentless Greens

Pace was great! Staff was very friendly, I didn't catch her name but she was very nice and awesome! Play with two of their staffs, Gary and Mike, nice guys! The greens were slow and very bouncy or bumpy, perhaps if management had ground crew give 'en a nice roll they would be in excellent condition. Your balls will bounce all over the place including short putts. You will not need a beach towel to get in the bunkers, little or no sand at all... Fairways and roughs are not too bad! Overall a pretty good day!!!

Great course! Super hot!

I was apprehensive to play here since many reviews said it was poor course conditions. But as of May 2021 i thought they were great! Greens were super soft and slow.

Friendly staff

Was greeted with a huge smile by Stacy who helped us get checked in. Hit balls at driving range and headed out. Great course, with water and nice views.

Vineyard - run down, workout golf course - extremely disappointing

Played this course for the 1st time and the course was in terrible shape.

Shows many signs of lack of watering, fairways were the worst I have ever seen.

This course is obviously cash striped or has no grounds crew. Where it was not bare, it was overgrown from years of no trimming.

Who ever owns and operates this course is extremely neglectful because it is in a desirable area.

Take a pass on this course until management puts a ton of work into it !

Pace of play was awesome!

Had an 11:40 tee time and arrived with about 10 minutes till our tee time. Teed off and never had anybody on our backs and none of the holes were backed up. The price was a little high but the course was in great shape!
