Extremely rude

Went to this course on a holiday and it was extremely busy. Went in to check in my 11:50 tee time around 10:30 since I wanted to use the driving range, but range was closed and the guy checking me in was very irritated that I was there and asking to use that facility. The bartender was the only one there that was good to talk with. Also the inside of the clubhouse reeked with a dead mouse smell. Maybe if the guy at the clubhouse wasn’t so worried about playing the slots he could mow the fairways that haven’t had attention in weeks, or his greens with literal craters. Overall I regret spending my money here.

Rude staff

I booked a round on my way home from work. The course had plenty of open tee times. Made the tee time about 20 mins in advance. When I went in the pro shop the guy behind the desk told me I was wrong and didn’t have a time. I told him I booked it on golf now. He looked in the computer he then threw the key across the desk and walked away.

Great track, outstanding value!

As always the course was in excellent condition, especially considering all of the rain in the area recently. Greens were exceptionally soft and fair. Tee boxes were well kept. Fairways well manicured.

Excellent value compared to other courses.

Don’t waste your money.

The course is not well taken care of at all . Weeds , dead trees , poorly maintained cart paths are a disaster

Fairways are fair as well as the greens . Forget about the bunkers , no sand at all .

I used to play there a lot 6 years ago and before that.

Very disappointed with the golf course.

Will not waste my money on this course again .

Tuckaway

I played Tuckaway Golf Course on August 1st with three other friends. This is the first time I have played this course in over 15 years, and I remember very little of the layout. The course was in decent shape, and I would assume this was because of the recent rains we had a week prior. The only reason I mention this is because I overheard a few regulars saying that weeks prior the fairways were brown. Regardless, the course was in nice shape. The greens are smaller in size and have subtle undulations on them and rolled very smooth. The sand traps were fantastic. The staff was very accommodating. I will definitely go back if I have the chance.

Not one live blade of grass

The course layout, location, and staff were good. The course conditions were worse than I have ever seen in 20+ years of golfing. There was live grass on some tee boxes (not the women’s) and the greens were in good shape. There was not one live blade of grass in any fairway or rough areas. It was equivalent to hitting the ball off concrete surface. Very painful and disappointing. I would not play this course again for free.
