Incredible staff saves the experience

The staff here are incredible, however the course is poor. Tee boxes are so bad. Layout is boring. Conditions were terrible. Feels like I was playing in a public park. It’s a shame because there is potential here but clearly the city money is funneled more to the Sydney Marovitz and Jackson Park.

Despite this, the staff were incredibly friendly and good people. Would play it again just for their friendliness but wow I wish the city maintained this course better.

You get what you pay for

Title says it all. It’s cheap so you get what you pay for but the tee boxes are in rough shape.

Great place to work on your game

Basic 9 hole course with wide open fairways. Easy to get to from the city when traffic is low. Good value for its location. Conditions are average and design is bland, but it’s a great place to learn and improve your game.

Value without Any Frills

This is a perfect place to practice the game in a very forgiving setting -- most people will encourage you to play a couple balls, and rate of play is never really a concern because it's hardly ever crowded and golfers will jump around to get a few holes in during whatever time they have - this is a haven for the beginning of people's golf journeys and for those who just want to play and not deal with stuffiness or attitude or handicap adjustments

Wow the grounds crew has been busy

All the standing water issues this course has had in the past are completely repaired. The bunkers have been completely redone (drainage and fine silica sand). Tees are in good shape, greens were always passable but now look fabulous. Every greenskeeping aspect has been improved to some extent.
