Temp greens ok

Reduced rates due to temp greens and limited tee boxes. However, temp greens are in good shape and better than others zi have played. Great price using GN

Currently Unplayable and Won't be Played by Me Again

Every green is being redone at the same time. This alone would be reason enough to not play this course, so why was the rough not cut also? Was it laziness, or did they feel that they needed to compensate for all of the shortened holes? It was challenging enough without having accurate yardage anywhere, that there was no reason for the rest of the course not to be maintained. I booked this online and nowhere did it say that every green would be under construction. If it had, I wouldn't have attempted to play it, but I would have come back because I like the course and it is conveniently located for us. As it stands, I don't know that I will play here again. When we arrived we asked the guy in the proshop where everyone was because it was considerably less busy than usual. We asked if the heat was responsible and he said that "the chance of rain must have been keeping people away". It was not the heat nor the"chance of rain". It was due to the fact that every green looks like a baseball infield and the makeshift greens mowed into the fairway rendered all the yardage markers unusable, putts impossible and couldn't be seen from the fairway without driving most of the way to the "green" in some cases. After 6 holes and numerous lost balls due to the rough being ridiculously high, we gave up. When I got back to the proshop and mentioned that he didn't tell us anything about the condition of the course and nowhere did it say anything about the course when I booked it that I would like a refund. He said that the best that he could do was a raincheck that would only be good until October. I asked when the construction was going to be completed and was met with silence. I hate to take this course out of my repertoire, but I feel that I don't have a choice after having been treated like this.

Temporary Greens

The greens are being rebuilt, so it’s no fun. However, the fairways are in the best condition in years. Tee boxes are still in terrible condition, especially par-3 tee boxes.Hope

they will do something about them.

Making the greens perfect

I didn't know that they were redo in the greens. So they had temporary greens but it was okay it was a great fun course. I played out here many times with many friends and the courses always in immaculate condition. However this day was temporary greens. Honestly I was just messing around out there just trying to hit some good shots and a lot of people were pushing me to move ahead of them when I really didn't want to so I skipped a lot of holes but it was fun.

First Time Playing

Course under renovation

The course is complete mess, the greens are being renovated all 18 holes. That information would have save me my money and my time. The booking should have explained that problem before the the booking process.

Greens...

Greens were scheduled to be replaced/renovated a couple weeks after our rd. They were in pretty rough shape so glad to see the issue being addressed.

Otherwise a solid course in good shape with a challenging layout.
