Great staff and cute course but needs better grounds maintenance

Great and friendly staff, cute course... Having said that the grounds needs significant work. Significant parts of the course didn't have grass as a starter

* Pros

- Cute. Good to bring kids around and have them play golf.

* Cons

- Given this is a 9 hole course, I didn't have much expectations but was below my expectations. Maybe this is due to the drought in California but nonetheless needs a lot of work to be done for grounds maintenance

Deceivingly Difficult Course

Deceivingly Difficult Course.

Not well maintained, most of the areas are dirt and balls easily roll down hill if you don't land on the green.

Yuck

Okay. 9-hole but for such a remote course much more time might have been devoted to the basic course maintenance.

However, I was not shocked just disappointed

Not worth the money

Barely any grass, too much dirt, not a fun course to play. For the cost, better places to play a nine hole. Would not recommend.

Ok for a par 3

Poor course condition. Fun hills, quite an uphill walk though. Little expensive for the course condition.

Fun and easy outing

I really enjoyed my round here. It was super easy to get a tee time. The check in staff member was professional and super friendly. The course is all par 3, so fun and smooth. Don't be fooled though, the targets are challenging even for an experienced golfer. The greens were in very nice shape. I had a great time with my son.

Short course but too hilky

The course has a lot of dead grass, making play and walking up and down the hills more challenging than necessary. Fast playing though if you want a quick game or are a beginner.

Short Executive...Meh Condition

This is an overall really short course. There are a couple of 170 yardish holes and a lot of 100-110. Tee boxes were not great and greens were ok and dandy. I had a good time with my 10 year old, who has only played a few times. It was good for him.

Merciless

Your short iron work better be tight as your abilities will be seriously tested. If you don’t land on the pad, your ball is GONE for good. There are no opportunities to scramble.

Golf is about overcoming obstacles and the tightness of this short course along with the surprising transitions will challenge your ability to make finesse shots and test your course-management skills.

A really fun little track.

Would not recommend

The greens were extremely sandy and looked like the roughs in other courses, not enjoyable had to absolutely pound the ball to get it to go 10 ft., the fairways were basically dirt walkways, there’s constant changes in elevation which puts you more into a hike than a round of golf to be honest. I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt maybe it’s seen better days in warmer months but as of now it’s not ideal to play. Sorry but there are much better 9 hole courses for less of a charge in the area.

Beautiful day

Sunny, course was dry, pace of play was kinda slow but no issues at all. The course is very green from the last time we played there. Great day for golf.
