Course needs help!

I've played this course many times over the thirty-five years I've lived near it.This is the first time I've played it in a long while. I won't reiterate what, seemingly, just about everyone else has said about it. The greens, fairways and tee boxes are nowhere near what they once were. What few ball washers there are are either broke or have no water in them. There is no water on the course in coolers to drink. And then there are the sand traps. Absolutely horrible!!! There are bees nesting in some of them or just plain dirt or muddy puddles. What was once the driving range is now a dumping area. Even at the discount price it's no bargain. Hopefully the town will wise up and get some competent golf course management in there to fix it up. Sadly, what was once one of the state's premier municipal golf facilities now looks like a disaster area.

This course continues to be a disaster!

So I book a golf now tee time today for this place and I get there and there is a senior league going on forcing us to start off the back and then unable to play the front! Pro shop, (if you can even call it that) had no answers for us. There is nobody running the place except for some girl taking money in the pro shop who could not help us or get the "pro" on the phone to remedy our problem. Course is falling apart, in debt, and mis-managed. Tried to give this place a chance every season, but it just gets worse. Plenty of other courses to play at in the area and a better value. The course is on facebook yet there is no wifi so you can "check in" and promote the place!

When all is truly lost...

I've played here several times prior and while I will not say "never" again, it is really not likely I'd play there again. The traps were atrocious, plain and simple. They were mud. Not simply due to rain or moisture from the previous day. Its obvious that there is not much passion put into keeping the course kept. The fairways and greens were at best average and maybe a hair below that. But what really provides my title is what happened on 17 and in the clubhouse afterward. I hit my ball into the 17th sandtrap, right side. There is a dead squirrel in the trap. Now, I'm not vet but it was obviously there are a least a few days if not longer. I go into the clubhouse, I let the person working know that they have a dead squirrel in 17 sand trap. The response told me all I need to know, the employees likely do not care and it starts with management. He says, "Oh yeah, I saw that there." I looked at him and said "ok, thanks". As I go to leave he says, "Is that all?" Totally disconnected. Sorry but this was just a bad experience. Whats the best part? I'm this livid about the experience and I only paid $20! Was not even worth that.

Played here today and have to disagree on the condition of the fairways and greens. I would rate them good to excellent. I do agree the traps are not the best around but they are getting better.

Where is the sand

Course was in decent shape. There was basically no sand in the traps and you could get whiplash if you stayed on the cart paths Greens were good as were the fairways. Most ball washers were either broken or had no water in them.

Good course for the price.

The course is in pretty good shape - nice and green as it should be in May. The traps and cart paths are in rough shape, however. The greens are a bit bumpy and slow. The front nine is longer and more wide open than the back but it has a couple of tough holes. All of the par threes are pretty long and challenging. I will definitely play here again.

After all the rain we had the past week, the course was nice and green. Greens were a bit wet but was to be expected. It was Mother's Day and rained entire morning so very few people on course. Bunkers need addressing.

Nice find.

LV is a bit of a drive for us but we were not disappointed. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition though the area is experiencing a drought. The holes were scenic and fun. Medium challenging - not too much rough or hazards - a good fit with our skill level. Not busy - seems like a neighborhood course. Club house bathrooms were in need of a renovation.

I also appreciate that the holes did not border streets, houses or parking. My evil golf twin occasionally hits a wild shot.

My wife and I agreed that LV will be on our rotation.

Wide open.

Took advantage of the late day online deal and walked through 13, until it was too dark to see a ball. Can't beat the $14 deal. First time on this course and found most holes a good place to air out the driver, as there was plenty of open territory on either side of the fairways....fairly forgiving.

Course was in great shape, especially the front 9. Pace was slow and we were surrounded by beginners. Once their cart broke down and they waved us on it was great. My husband and I will be back. Great value with golf now.

The course is in the best condition I have ever seen at any time I have played here. I didn't find any bunkers but looked at them and other reviews are right. You don't want to be in them, big rocks and dirt with no rakes.........good value for the money!

Great Value

I heard nothing but negative comments about the course, so I went in not expecting much, but I was surprised. My wife and I played the course and while there certainly are improvements needed, it was tremendous value. The course was in fairly decent shape, a challenging layout, with some tight fairways, and average greens. Of course the carts aren't great, and the cart paths a little rough, but for less than $50, it's great. Seems to be headed in the right direction from a management perspective, and living 2 miles from it, I'll look to get back quite often.
