Needs tlc

Decent place but needs some work around the edges. Plenty of mud and greens have some disease causing bare spots/holes. Staff is great and restaurant is good. Bar is well stocked and very friendly!

Good, cheap course

if you want practice your shorter irons, this course is for you. Not a lot of variety as far as different shots you need to hit but this typical, straight and decently maintained course is a good bang for the buck if you get a hot deal or similar. pace of play is standard for a short course, greens are in decent condition and fairly quick for a muni-type course. The on premise BBQ joint is decent but overpriced but the bar has a good craft beer selection.

Love the course

My one and only regret is that the greens are a mess. The superintendent has no idea as to how to fix the greens as it’s been in a state of disrepair for more than a year. The staff (Miles) is friendly and professional. Others are not so friendly.

The bar personnel needs an upgrade.

You need to get in a quick round? This is your place.

Par 29. Only 2 par 4's, both under 270 and drivable for bigger hitters. First green is pretty raggedy, although the rest of the greens weren't bad. The tee boxes are all varying degrees of beat up. I wasn't in the sand today so no comments about the bunkers, but they looked ok at a glance. Lots of trees, no water.

Lucky for me I got partnered up with 3 good dudes that made what would have been a bad round pretty entertaining. Collin, Brandon, Kevin, thanks for a good round.

Oh wow

The tee boxes were sand traps. The some greens were 50% dirt. Just off the greens was pure mud.

Pretty awful. Another golfer pocketed one of my balls.

Finished the round in 1:30. That was nice.

Grass is greener on the both sides.

Nice day to play with minor back up

No complaint Practiced with more reps involved. The tee boxes need some work but the fairways are well kept.

Okay

Played this course before. Good value ($20 per person) except for the Convenience fee through site +$7 YUCK!

But course is not as kept up as previous visits. Lots of divots, sand traps unkempt, uneven tee-off areas.

Staff was nice and helpful.

Greens on the first couple of holes could use some work, but besides that good value.

Horrible Service

Showed up on time 25 minutes before tee time. Front desk clerk doesnt let me check in on time but lets 4 golfers who were 30 minutes late for their tee time to the 1st teebox in front of myself and others waiting to check in on time for their tee time. Not acceptable. Will not be coming back ever. Thank you Sunken for wasting my time
