narrow fairways, some leaning branches, bald spots in fairways. sometimes the sprinkler system cuts on during play.
For the price
If you catch one of the killer deals available online for around $10-$14 for 18 holes, then I would recommend this course. Anything higher than that and there are numerous other courses in the area in far better condition.
My biggest gripe concerns the tee boxes. In several of them, you could not find a flat area to stand on if you tried. Then the fairways. They were hit and miss. A lot of dirt and tall grass where there shouldn't be.
Overall though, for the price, it's worth a trip, once in a while. I surely wouldn't want it to be my go-to course though.
Great course for the money
Some of the greens are in poor shape, as are a few tee boxes, but for the money I'll continue to play here. Pace of play is great, Especially when I can squeeze 9 holes in, in just over an hour.
Getting better but watch out
The new management is making improvements, the course has tiny greens that were horrible last year but they are being constantly improved.
Watch out about their crazy practice of prohibiting singles before 1 on weekends. They had plenty of carts, the parking lot was empty and the first whole was wide open but they would not make an exception. My tax dollars at work.
Decent course
Fairways and greens could use some work but overall not a bad course
Not bad
Decent course for the money, some of the greens were chewed up, but the fairways were well kept. The tee boxes could use some attention.
Go Somewhere Else!
In search of a course to play while traveling I discovered The Patch. Based on reviews, testimonies, promotional pieces and pictures I desided to give it a try. Basically, this is the worse course I have ever played. The tee boxes are sand pits, the fairways aren't fairways at all and the greens were attrocious. I was shocked at what I experienced in comparison to what I saw/read in my research. If the course is under-going an overhaul and rework, then fine. But state that up front. Let the potential golfers know that the course is a disaster, the fairways are rock hard, the greens are very rough and there is basically no grass on the tee boxes. All I can say is, 'been there, done that, won't do it again'.
Pretty Good in my eyes
I am visiting the area and caught a heck of a deal on golfnow that I could not pass up. Not sure why all the negative reviews the course seems really well taking care of with nice challenging greens and beautiful fairways. I'm still new to the game and imagine there are nice courses around here but you cannot beat the bang for your buck. The staff was very welcoming and friendly! I will definitely be playing here again before I leave.
OK for the money
Club house was very nice and the staff very friendly. Tee boxes need a lot of work. The greens are very small and very hard. I enjoyed the round but I was spoiled by playing Pineridge the day before.
Save your money
This course is by far the worst I have ever played. This isn't even fit for a 30 handicap. I was in town for the Masters and made the mistake of thinking I was going to get a small small sample of Augusta. I was so wrong. I've never seen a course in such poor shape. T boxes were completely tore up. 90% of every box was sand and fairways were nothing more than beaten down pasture land! Save your money, wrists and sanity.
Time at the Patch.
Nice course to try and get my game back. Have not played in some time. Retired Military I have played around the world so I enjoy the game.
Below average
It's a great course to practice on. Not in great shape but good value.
Training course
This course is excellent to keep your game sharp mainly because of the smallish greens. There are several with bunkers in front with the green sloping away from the approach shot. To be able to hole these greens require a great shot. With the new management team in place the course has improved greatly from the beginning of the year. Keep up the good work.
A Course on the Way Back
Earlier this year the Augusta Commission turned over management of the Patch to Cypress Golf Management, a very wise move. Since July 1, when Cypress assumed control, there has been amazing improvement of the course, especially the fairways, greens and bunkers. This is not to say there isn't a lot of work left to do, but for those of us who play the Patch frequently, it has once again become a pleasant experience to go and play 18 holes of golf on a course that is being managed and maintained the way a golf course should. One other thought: the change in the staff's attitude is so refreshing. From the course manager to the cart man - and everyone in between - employees are friendly and helpful. What a change!
Needs work
The greens are in terrible condition, fairways had no grass, and many of the water hazards were dry and the tee boxes were not level and very sandy. Could be a nice course with some serious work.
The Patch
the right name for this place it is patched together no greens or tee boxes to speak of forget about putting all together its a real shame nice layout sad conditions
The Patch
Much improved course conditions since first visit earlier this year.

The course looked to be in much better shape than a couple months ago. They are working hard to improve it. Will play again as Long as is continues to improve.
