Too many missing amenities

Only one water supply on the course and the water tasted awful. The cart paths need major work. not sufficient signage to know where to go on the chorus . No one to greet you at the bagdrop. Half a sand traps were in terrible condition

Expected more

Hoping Jaws can turn this place around, like he has with his other courses. An absolute egregious about of crab grass throughout fairways and rough. The rough were 92% non-existent, just dirt or random weeds throughout. Greens were nice and rolled truee, and bunkers immaculate. Enjoyable layout for all skill levels.

Disappointed

Have played course before and never seen rough so high, a lot of weeds/crab grass. Expected better conditions for the money. Was cart path only from rain two days before, did not see many wet conditions on course. Talked to another golfer who said they called the day before to make sure it wasn’t cart path only. Won’t go back for a while.

Back Creek

Have not played the course for more than a year. It was extremely improved over that time. Course conditions were much better. Tees, fairways, and greens were very nice. Much improved!
