Still Disappointed with Bunkers

This was my first return visit in several years, but my memory of the poor bunker conditions remains intact. While I thought the practice green and greens were generally in good shape, the biggest playability issues during my visit were shaggy tee boxes that seemingly hadn’t been mowed recently and bunkers that continue to lack much if any sand. During my round I found myself in 3 bunkers and only one kind of had sand. Many of the bunkers I observed in the fairways or around the greens looked more like rock quarries than sand bunkers. Another golfer in my group commented that he would even attempt playing shots from those bunkers as damaging a $150 wedge wouldn’t be worth it.

To course management I suggest you fill in any bunkers that you are unable or unwilling to take care of as it would make more sense to reduce the number of bunkers to whatever quantity you can take care of as right now your bunkers make for a poor experience.

Fun but can be difficult

Course has a very unique, narrow layout. Many blind pin locations and curved fairways. Fun course

Ace Day!

Had a "Hole in One" on number 3! 163 yard par 3. It doesn't get much better than that!

Too much water and too poor groundskeeping

A LOT of water. Just ridiculous in some cases. The rough was long the fairways were short and the tee boxes beat up. I would not go back.

It started raining heavily after 4th hole and we tried to finish hole #5, but to no avail we started dashing for the clubhouse.. we thought for sure we would get a rain check or a full reimbursement from GolfNow but the agent said no way because we played 5 holes. I did not argue , left it alone but is now very disappointed in Golf Now for their lack of accommodation. Very poor way of handling and accommodating customers.

VERY SLOW PLAY! NO RANGERS!

Group in front of us was 4 holes behind the group in front of them. No rangers pushing, only time we seen ranger was on the 17th hole and he laughed when we expressed our frustration.

Waited every shot. 5 hour round.

Sand is nothing more than clay and dirt.
