Other than sand bunkers the course overall is in good shape. Hopefully the rough doesn’t get any taller or balls will be difficult to locate.

Acorns to Ourselves

We had an 11:40am Tee Time and there was an extreme Heat advisory so we basically had the course to ourselves for 18 holes. The course was in great condition and they watered the greens and tee boxes on the back 9 while we played. It helped the putts. One and two putts then off to the next hole.

Just an Ok Course

I found that Acorns has gone down hill the past couple of years. I give this course a chance every year and I try to love it like it used to be. While the fairways were wonderful that is the only positive aspect I could say. I cleaned every single tee box of 20 plus broken tees, fixed divots, repaired patchy areas and tried to leave the course better than I found it. The bunkers are a complete dumpster fire filled with sand, mud, concrete and over grown weeds. The price was very fitting and the staff was extremely nice.

Sand bunkers are unplayable and clover is approaching most greens; Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape.

Great value for quality course.

The good stuff: All but one fairway were in great shape. The Greens ran fast and true. Club house and on course staff were friendly and helpful. Pace of play was good.

Areas for improvement: 4 tee boxes were in need of attention. Sand traps could use new sand and/or raking. Long hitters will have an advantage on several holes.

Overall, it is worth the 40 minute drive IMO. I'll pass other courses to return to The Acorns.

Great shape

This course is in really good shape even with the downpours we’ve had. There was water in areas not previously holding water but pumps were running. The greens were manicured and true. I do wish they had more and easily seen yardage markers on all the holes.

Nice course

This is a really nice course. The greens are super fast. I am used to putting on carpet so this was a change of pace making it challenging. Overall, this is one of the nicest courses I have been on.
