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.

You get what you pay for

Staff/manager was rude at checkin, told me I had to pay $10 more for a cart before checking my reservation and blamed GolfNow. Starter and ranger were nice and helpful but no drink cart, halfway house limited and not open for half of the round. Was told to Drive across course for mixed drink but then clubhouse wasn’t serving. Course in terrible condition, giant hole on 2 with a maintenance cart left unattended. Most tee boxes full of weeds, no maintenance on greens and no hazards as listed on scorecard. Great pace due to limited golfers but the place has a lot of potential, just seemed like little to no effort being put into maintaining the course.

The staff was VERY helpful and professional. I felt that the course design was quite generious, I lost only 2 balls. The course conditons were a little rough in some places but overall not terrible like people are claiming. Like I said, I lost only two balls and I am not even that great of a golfer. For the price I don't know what people are complaing about, I have paid $40-$50 for nine holes in the east coast and given the price of realestate those courses are dogleg central.

So much potential here

I love playing this course. The course condition is decent. It has improved in the past couple of weeks with regular cutting. If they invested some money on course improvements it would be a gem of the southwest side. Maybe sell off the 9 hole course and use that money for improvements. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They would also like to see the course upgraded to its full potential

Course is trash

How can they justify charging $40 to play this trash course? Lost about 4 balls on the fairways. Course is so tight.. you are literally dodging golf balls. Honestly they should have given my money back..

A course you should play

First the hospitality from the check-in person and starter is one of the best. For the price, a very solid 18-hole course in good condition considering the rain that has hit. No matter the handicap this course allows errors but has some challenging holes as well, especially 9, 16, and 18.

Save your money, terrible conditions!!

What happened to this course. It is evident the owners simply do not care any more. I used to play here regularly. Last year it was in rough shape. Decided to give it another shot this year. I have never played a course in such terrible condition. Our group of four all had solid drives down the middle of fairway and could not find our balls due to how long the FAIRWAY grass was. Tee boxes were overgrown, fairways were extremely long, and the greens were half bare. The rough was basically three feet high grass, fine, but the fairways and all areas around green were honestly nearly two feet. Save tour money. Not even worth 1 dollar a hole. Owners should sell and get out of golf business.

Avoid!!!! Save your money

What happened to this course. Every year this course gets worse. This is the last time I ever play this course. Tee boxes overrun with long grass, fairways were not mowed if not longer than the rough, the greens were bare. And patchy. The rough was the longest I’ve ever seen. The fairways were long and full of mowed grass. It’s like the owners don’t care or have given up. Seriously not worth the money or time. Owners should be embarrassed. They obviously don’t care. Hard pass!!

Couldn’t tell what was rough and what was the fairway

If you hit into the fairway, it would take about 5 minutes to find your ball, if you hit it in the rough, you are not finding that ball. The green has the type of grass for a fairway, and it’s covered in leaves and everything that falls off a tree. The layout is solid, but I would fire the whole ground keeping crew.
