Condition of the course was just fair

Condition of the course was just fair, This is the second time I played the golf course. I played earlier in the year and the course had not been mowed fairways were very long. I decided to give it a second chance things have been improved but overall the courses in that very good shape.

Grounds crew needs to do some serious work

All aspects of the course need improvement. Greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes , all had very rough spots, if not totally bare in some areas

The layout of the course could be a lot of fun if the maintenance was actually done well. Staff was friendly for sure! And helpful. But nothing could make up for the poor quality of the grounds

Conditions Are Brutal

Been playing this course for the last 5 years or so. Was always in decent shape. Maybe 3 out of 5 stars. Played there today and thr people who are saying "quit complaining" are in the wrong here. Conditions only are really 1.5 out of 5. Greens are fair, fairways ehh, rough and tee boxes are brutal. This course has so much potential but the owners are either cheap or don't care. For $45 on the weekend and knowing this course I'm not expecting the world but even as a 16 handicapper I can tell this course has seen better days

Ok for money

The course itself isn’t bad, two greens were very rough though with large areas of non-grass.

Course is like jumping into the 80s

Course feels like time left it behind. Tee boxes are in awful condition. Fairways are even worse. So many other courses that are more worth the 40 dollars.

Stay away from this place

This is not a golf course, this is a cow pass. Save your money and go anywhere else.

Worst Course I've Ever Played

A few years back I used to play this course every few months. Was never my favorite course, but it was decently maintained and close to home. It's now a disaster.

The fairways were cut longer than the rough at many courses. The actual rough was knee high just a couple feet off the fairway. Miss the fairway by 3 feet?? Never gonna see that ball again! My buddy and I jokingly called them the fairway rough and the jungle rough. Because of the extremely long grass, the mosquitos were terrible and we had to constantly slap them away. I can't believe that this course is still open. There's no way they are getting any repeat customers.
