Not sure if it’s worth it anymore….

Over the years the course conditions have deteriorated to a point of borderline unplayable. The range is dirt and so are the fairways. Also, due to its price point, there are a ton of people learning to play which is great! BUT with that comes very slow pace of play and balls flying everywhere(we’ve all been there before. I just want to make sure people are fully informed before spending a Saturday here.) Some say any golf is better than no golf but this course may change your mind. To be fair, the green quality has increased but are very slow.

Nice little course

This is a nice little course and well worth the money. Greens are a bit slow and they had recently aerated the fairways but overall good course for the money. I’ll be back to see how the aeration turns out.

Worst course I've ever played

This is by far the worst golf course I have ever played. We teed off on the first hole and there were already 6 carts stacked up so we had a feeling we were in for a treat. I hit a ball in the 1st fairway, but unfortunately the first fairway has a giant impossibly hard dirt patch which my ball hit and then ricocheted next to a random downed tree trunk. Nearly every hole was like playing Russian roulette with your life. Hackers from every direction driving golf balls across multiple fairways from every different direction, criss-crossint the carts across every fairway without even looking. One tee box was legitimately just tee markers placed in the rough. Hey welcome to this par 3, you're in the rough, good luck. The only enjoyment my friend and I got out of the round was laughing at how much miserably worse the experience continued to get. I thought $35 for a round was a great deal, but if you leave with a concussion from getting brained by the guys teeing off one hole over, does it even matter? I'd gladly pay double to never visit this rathole of a course ever again.

Good place to work on your game at a bargain rate. Fairways still thin. Greens average.

Terrible

The course has more dirt than grass on fairways and tee boxes. If you value your clubs, I wouldn't play this course. I won't be back.

Nobody was there

Booked a tee time yesterday, paid my golf now convenience fee, and nobody was there at the course. Carts were locked up, so we didn't get to play. Tee times shouldn't be allowed to book, if the course isn't going to be open. I deserve a refund.

Terrible course conditions right now

Perfect course for a cheap round to not take seriously. If you want to try and score, pay the extra change to get a different course.

I’ve played here several times in the past and it was definitely a budget course with some fun holes. But when I went this week, the only place there was green grass on the entire course was on the green and about 20 feet around it. Otherwise, it was sand or hard packed clay and a tuft of crab grass or something. Rough shape right now, maybe with some rain and time, some will come up.

Fair price for walking

The $17 for walking 18 is a fair price. Many tee boxes for all dirt, no irrigation on the fairway so they were a bit dusty. Pace of play fair for that time of day, one group health everybody up just a bit, but never sit still for more than just a couple of minutes.
