Bunker Ponds?!?

I know we recently had a lot of rain, but this golf course was terribly drained. On 8 different holes, the bunkers were flooded so badly that hitting your ball into one resulted in a lost ball.

The roughs were cut way too high, and super saturated. I was pretty disappointed by the cost considering the conditions of the course.

Pace of play was great, especially considering cart path only. At this time of year though, cost should have been about 20% less, or at least they could have provided a free sleeve of balls for all the free donations to the bunkers.

5 1/2 hr round

Too long of a round at almost 5 1/2 hours but it is a nice course for the money. I had fun with the guys I was paired with for the day. Everyone who worked there was very nice and helpful.

Post Snow Round

The course was very wet due to about six inches of snow falling 48 hours prior to tee time, Otherwise everything was great for this early in the season.

Fun round Rude staff

I ended up having a fun round with my brother, but it started off on a bad note the guys in the pro shop were very rude. I walked in at 10:10 for a 10:48 tee time the guy at the desk gave me a hard time about not being able to tee off early which I didn’t ask to or even want to. I just don’t like to be late. Sorry for showing up early.

Early season golf

Considering it was early in the season the golf course was in excellent shape. The greens were not yet cut and were slow but that was expected. I like the layout with water in play on several holes. It makes you plan your shots and keep the ball in play in order to score. Overall at $15 with a cart a great value.

Sand traps

This course is challenging and under rated! The only thing I see that holds the course back is a need for better sand traps.

Nice course, spoilt by the bunkers

A challenging layout with a lot of water so accuracy more important than length. The greens, tees and fairways were in very good condition, however, the bunkers were a joke (and there were a lot of them). They weren’t just hard, they had no sand whatsoever in them, were rock hard with stones and gravel in them. I didn’t see one with sand. Hitting a green side bunker plot shot was totally impossible. And you will scratch your clubs. This was our first time there and were not going back. How hard is it to but actual sand in them?

Not bad but not great.

Most of the reviews were accurate. Some short par 4’s, sand traps were like concrete, and many unrepared divids. However, some challenging par 3’s and decent par 5’s. Would go back in a pinch.

Very high grass in rough made finding ball very difficult and not a once of sand in the traps. Hitting out of traps was like hitting off a sidewalk
