Terrible 9 holes

They must be trying to save their money. Fairways look like they haven't been watered in quit awhile, very hard. Tried the course once last year and today

Same problems. Never going back!

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Water is free so not watering isn't saving us any money. You are right, however, that the course sprinklers haven't run since the end of October of last year. The irrigation system is pressurized at the end of Spring because freezing temperatures can damage the irrigation system. Most of our golfers have actually appreciated the drier fairways compared to the squishy ones normally at this time of the year. We respect your decision not to return.

I realized it was very early in the season so the grass was a little thin in certain areas needed some time to be filled in and the weather is not been cooperative.

NO CARTS = No golf

This is the second time I have been to this course and they are overbooked, with no carts. It was our tee time and there was still (6) groups in front of us waiting for carts. They are trying to revive - but have no golf course knowledge.

Great little course

It’s really hard to rate a course when there is 40 mph wind gusts but this is a great little course I would definitely be back. Kind of hard to figure out where you supposed to go a couple to times there is no markers on the tees at all but that was really the only down side

Thankful to be Outside

March 21, Sunny, windy but 60+ degrees. Course open but not ready for patrons. Tee time at 12:50, couldn't get a cart so had to wait until 1:50. 20-25 people waiting for carts at the first tee.

Course was in good shape for being early March. Everyone playing on the course had the mentality to play and have fun. Great to be outside and the beer was cold!

Great Value. Nice Natural Course

Course is definitely worth playing at least once. The value is great and the course has a very natural/nature feel.

Cons:

Not very challenging

Greens were in just OK condition

No starter

They do have a virtual driving range setup which looks nice. Overall, it is a fun course to play and affordable.

I am sorry the staff said something like that. We have been working on getting a waiver document and that would be the only reason to not let you use the new carts. My apologies again. The carts are intended for the use of our golfers and there is no reason to withhold it from them. Come back again and we will get you on one of them.

Not for Women

My wife was unhappy as the womens tees feel like an after thought. No yardage markers and no starter or rangen. We got to hole 16 after minor waits at each hole and there were two groups backed up on tee, with one group in fairway and another on green...Lat 3 holes took about an hour...

Would play again, but it does feel like playing in a forest at times

I played a solo twilight round on a whim. Called as I was near there after work and they are friendly as were the course patrons. Facilities are top notch clubhouse, locker room, dining/bar venue, and a top tracer range. I was actually going to play the range, but I teed off at 5 PM. I got in 17 holes, lost my ball due to darkness on 18 fairway but went ahead and chipped and putted. Overall the setting is peaceful and the houses are set back far enough from course. The par 3's are super challenging, probably two of the toughest downhills I've played in the area. There were only a couple issues. I feel like it is fine to have trees but on a few of the tee boxes I felt like they were overhanging too much into the shot path, and I mean every angle of shot. I hit at least two branches on straight shots, which to me is fine to have trees but you need sight to the fairway, trim the branches. Second the ponds are somewhat smelly, avoid the penalty but also avoid playing next to them. Last they have no cart paths, which is fine for a link course but it alludes to what another reviewer said about the women's tee box. They appear to have been driven over. A lot. and they are mostly pure grass not trimmed. Overall it was a great twilight round and I think they can steadily make improvements to the course to match the facilities.
