Cut the grass

This course was ridiculous if you didn't hit the Fairway. The rough was so thick and high you would lose your ball immediately. On some holes there was literally no difference in grass height from the fairway to the rough. It was all ROUGH. You shouldn't have to waste 5 minutes every time searching for your ball if it goes even 5 yards into the rough. This is not the Open Championship here. Also on the Par 3's if you didn't land short and have them run up you were screwed. I could see my ball land on the green only to find out I was 10 yards past the hole because the greens were concrete and the ball bounced off them. I will never play here again even for the measly 13 dollar fee. I lost that much in balls that were buried in the dumb rough.

Never Again

It was Sunday morning & busy. The starter was getting behind right away in the morning. Letting out a 5 some didn't help. I didn't see anybody cutting greens until about 8-8:30am. Then he was jumping all over the course. The greens were long, slow, bumpy. (usually start cutting on hole one) He must of over slept. The bar girls were very good & hustled when ever I saw them. But the attire was interesting, one looked like she just got up & drove to the bar. (the outfit or underwear was crazy)

I thought I should have brought a weed whacker in the golf cart with me.

I gave it moderate for diffuculty because it was so hard to putt. Some interesting holes but the condition has gone way down from 8 years ago.

Needs tlc

Greens were spongy, bumpy, extremely slow and lots of bare spots. Tee areas weedy, with lots of bare spots. No sand in bunkers, mostly hard dirt. Used to be much better but really needs work. Wish they would make some much needed improvements.

A mess

Dandelions everywhere including fairways, asked why and the staff told me that the only working mowers were at their other course. Rough was also 4-5” deep. Lose balls a foot off “fairway”.

Still a Solid Choice

I have played Tuckaway 4-6 times a year for the past 20 years and it remains a solid choice. The course was in nice shape, the greens were a little slower than normal, and the course received a lot of play that day due to perfect weather conditions. I will return.

Overall the course was ok. Lots of leaves. Greens were not kept up real well. Grass was long and lots of debris on greens. Seems to me that if your going to keep the golf course open you should maintain it.
