Course is in great shape

I played on a wet and cloudy day yet the course was still in fantastic shape. The pace of play was amazing on a Tuesday morning and such a delight since it typically takes 5 hours minimum for 18 here. If you can go during off-hours, it’s definitely worth your buck!

Challenging and well maintained

This was the perfect day to golf this course - mid 70"s and slight breeze.

The course was challenging but well maintained. The pace was well controlled.

Dramatic and different, but value?

It's a fun layout in a truly unique location – on top of a landfill in the middle of an industrial/port area. Meaning there are some really great natural areas and cool views.

It''s tree-less and often breezy (a really windy 25 mph when I played) so it's built for this with massive fairways and greens. There aren't trees as a penalty for errant shots, so the thick thick rough and heather-covered mounds really are. You want to be in the fairway. Unfortunately, bunkers in front of many greens mean you can't run it up like tree-less links courses,, which made some holes nearly impossible to get on in the insane wind.

You have to play a variety of shots off the tee – driver isn't always the best choice. No two holes are the same. Cart GPS is really helpful.

The greens were nice and ran true.

But some tee boxes were a bit chunked up and shaggy, the bunkers didn't seem dragged or raked, and the asphalt cart paths are just trashed. Plus, they had just cut the long grass in areas and it just smelled of rotting grass a lot. That's tough when the weekend greens fees are in the $125 range. Look for GolfNow specials.

Home course

Greens are looking real good for early season. Like how they grew in the surrounding OB. Nice pace if play. Miss the old pros. Didn’t like not having the range balls included anymore during the week.

Great course, got $50 golf now tee time

I enjoyed my round. Greens were good, bunkers weee in great shape. Rough was solid. One issue is when the cart, and scorecard give you yardages that are 15 yards apart on a par 3. Some areas have way to many places to lose balls, like there shouldn’t be thick brush 1 foot from the cart path. Get rid of some of the areas that swallow up balls, because they aren’t in play for good golfers, and only hurt newer golfers like me, who hit errant iron and wedge shots. However, I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenging but fair test of golf

Overpriced and needs improvement

The roughs are deep and where they do mow they left the grass behind making it nearly impossible to find your ball. Food and beer not available at the turn. Feels like a $60-$70 course not $130.

Current conditions are a no for me

The rough was so long and thick that if you didn’t hit the fairway, your ball was donated 9/10 times. Our round with 2 of us took 4+ hours because we spent so much time looking for our ball on every hole. The rest of the course was maintained well though, so if you’re an accurate golfer, then you’ll be fine. Not a single tree and far less water than expected given the name. The course did smell amazing (like gingerbread) after about the 4th hole, so that was nice.
