Course was in terrible condition for the price
Charging $50 for a round of golf when the tee box and greens are splotchy and needed to be cut down. Rip off

4th stage cancer on the greens
Some greens are ok but several are seemingly beyond repair and should be dug up and rebuilt. Most tee boxes are just sand and it’s hard to maintain traction. It didn’t help that we had a group of 7 in front of us. SEVEN!!! It’s sad because this course has no houses, beautiful trees and water features and could really be something special. The staff is extremely friendly and I realize they are working on a government budget but the obvious potential of this place makes the sore spots stick out even more. I marked that I would recommend to a friend, mainly because of the affordable tee times. Would be great for beginners or occasional golfers.
