Has gone totally downhill

I have played this course many times over the last couple of years, but this was by far away the worst condition I’ve ever seen it in. The fairways were bad and the greens were terrible. Also checking in took almost 30 minutes as the lady behind the counter continued to try to talk to everybody and take phone calls at the same time. I definitely will not be back.

Rough conditions

There is nothing positive about this course, overall conditions are borderline atrocious. Greens are laughable, fairways similar to cow pastures and tee boxes were smashed by trolls. For the money is not even close to acceptable. Disappointing is not even a way to frame it. Avoid at all cost.

Slow and painful

It was brutally slow from the start. 2 groups waiting at every tee box. I know it was the week before Masters Week but shouldn’t have packed tee times like that. I liked the course layout, but conditions were horrible. Greens were burnt and unplayable. Fairways were thin and sparse. We left after 9 holes because the wait wasn’t worth it.

Love the wide open fairways and the staff are wonderful. Only thing that needs improvement is the tee boxes. But that won't stop me from coming back once a week. The price per round is great !!

Poor condition

Play there today with four of us and they were at least eight holes where the greens were chewed up and had sand all over them. I understand sanding down your greens, but this was not in the notifications when I reserved my teatime and it was absurd to have paid $51 per person

Good budget course. Pace of play was a nightmare.

If you are looking to play a course for cheap this is the place. It is not some fancy course and there isn’t a whole lot of good grass but it’s playable. The only thing that killed the round for me was the pace of play. For weekends there should at least be someone riding around trying to keep the pace of play up. I am not judgmental by any means, we are all at different skill levels. However, if you are new to the sport PLEASE do not play from the tips. Especially on a crowded weekend. A round should not take 4 and a half hours. Staff is extremely friendly.

Do to the heavy rain we had last week the course was under the weather. No fault of the ground crew. Should improve as the weather is getting warmer.
