The sand traps were all heavy dirt, rocks, and mud, no sand. Many of the greens had dead grass spots.

Embarrassing

The so-called bunkers on this course are horrible. There is not one bit of sand. There's plenty of rocks and hardpan though. Impossible to hit out of them. The cart paths will break your spine. Whomever cuts the holes must be self-taught, there are plenty of green imperfections from previous holes. The clover gets high and turns white making it hard to find your ball in the rough.

Bunker

Very disappointed in this course.there was not one bunker you could play out of and the greens were terrible. No maintenance done on the course except for the fairways nothing was watered.we will not play there again unless new owners improve the course.

Needs some attention

My first time playing this course, layout is tight on some holes and challenging as well, had a little trouble finding the next hole at times and paths are not good in many places, but for the money, not a bad course.

Great afternoon

Overall the course was ok condition. The tees werre ok(better than they have been), the fairways were good and the greens were fast. The sand traps were TERRIBLE! they were mostly mud, dirt and rocks, no sand. That was very sad.

The weather was absolutely perfect and the price was right.

This course has been neglected

This course has been neglected for years. It is in very poor shape. The greens have not been maintained and the sand traps are horrible. There is only hard dirt in the traps. The 19th hole is only open until 4:00. This course has become a joke

Hot deal

Have played here many times before. Was able to get a hot deal during the middle of the week. Showed up early due to rain in the forecast and he wonderful woman at the front let us tee off early to beat the weather. Course is under new ownership and conditions are gradually improving.

Decent course for practice, good value

LV is in good shape for a course that gets a lot of play. Some playersdon't show much etiquette, leaving large divots unattended. The layout is quirky, with some holes leaving you scratching your head (6, 10, 11, 18). Not my first choice but close to New Haven and a good online value.

No staff to be had

We played on a Monday and no one had emptied garbage at course anywhere! It was spilled over into grounds at several places!

Traps were non existent, no staff other then person you bought ticket from.

Hole layout is ok and greens are in pretty good condition .

Great course for the money

I booked the night before and got a super hot deal. It had rained the day before but the course was nice and dry. Fairways and greens were in good condition. I think they could move the tee boxes around more often for the par 3s but other than that I have no complaints. I will be playing there again soon.

Underwhelming

Had an ok round booked fine in advance the price was ok for what I payed but the course and the staff I found lacking the pace of play felt like they were allowing anyone to go out at any time and I felt like the staff wasn't very knowledgeable and I just find the course as a whole dirty and unkept from the club house to the greens.. it has a nice layout with some challenging holes and some easy ones but i find the expirence lacking I played once before last year and thought I'd give it another try but most likely will not book again unless it's back down below 10$ and have no where else to play

Go some where else

These are the poorest kept greens I've ever played in my life. The course is nice and woodsy. Some of the holes par ratings make no sense. The cart was terrible. Honestly I don't think I would ever Golf here again unless they make some major changes. It's honestly not worth $30 for 18 holes with a cart with so much competition in the area.

Tee Time Mix Up

Played on 5/28...

I booked my Golfnow tee time for a single player the day before. Got to the course early to stretch and putt. Was summoned back to the pro shop to discuss a problem. Starter took a reservation from a gentleman and his 3 grandsons. Starter heard 3, and made a tee time for 3, leaving a single spot open which I took. Problem was that the grandfather showed up making it a 4some.

Matt in the pro shop sent me off the back, which was great b/c I finished that 9 in 65 minutes.

Problem was that when I made the turn, there was nothing but 4somes on the tee so there was no place to put me.

Matt did the right thing by giving me a voucher for a free round with cart (no restrictions/no expiration date)...but I still only played nine holes that day.

A course in need of repair

This is our local home course. The design of the course is fabulous. Because of management neglect many issues are needed to be addressed.

For early season it was in good shape. The pro shop staff was great. Course does not have enough carts.

Greens will need work as well as sand traps. Fairways were great but cartpaths a wreck

If the management did invest money and effort it could bring this course back the great shape it once was!
