Horrendous conditions
Couldn’t tell what was rough, fairway, mud, dirt, whatever. Absolutely terrible conditions. No cart paths, so everyone has to drive in the fairways.
Very friendly environment ❤️
People from the reception up to the course and golf cart return area are very friendly and accommodating, guests would surely feel at home.
This place is what it is. Fairways are pretty chewed up. The 10th hole runs along the driving range with no net. Good luck finding your ball among 5,000 plus range balls. This is basically a practice facility that charges $60 to play a well below average course and it's absolutely not worth it in my opinion.
Mixed Emotions
While the pace of play is usually good and while the greens were immaculate (but slow) the fairways were overgrown with wild onion and left much to be desired. I actually thought I saw someone from the kitchen staff riding around the course (not sure if he was harvesting for a meal).
Good course
Staff is great; conditions of the course are excellent and challenging and I will Definitely play the course again!!
No grass on fairways, sand in bunkers have too many rocks
Below Average
The course itself was played out nicely with wide fairways but was not taken care of. Not sure if the sprinklers work since the ground was hard as a rock! However, the greens are decent but not great.
They can do better.
The posted prices were inaccurate from, I think 2002. The inhouse restaurant served great food and moderate prices. The pro shop staff, not very hospitable.
There was no starter, or anyone to even direct you to the first tee or determine who should tee off next.
The greens were surprisingly ok. The fairways were dry as a desert and the rough was cut down low to the depth of the sparse fairway.
There is no water on the course and no cart person. So BYOB.
