Difficulty Fairly Easy
Torched
I heard it’s been an exceptionally hot summer and, at times, lots of moisture. Do, burned out and areas of rot. Sections of tee boxes closed. Teeing off from the fairway on 7, maybe? The 3rd or 4th green closed. Not the staff’s fault. Good facility and layout. Might come back by Fall. The Golf Now deal made it a fair deal. Thanks.

Wildcat Course Review
Course was in terrible shape. Temporary green and tee on a couple of holes. Tee boxes all crab grass and overall condition extremely poor. Green fees too high for shape and condition of course. Very disappointed for the University course.

Great Greens, but the fairways are just ugly
With an incredible course layout, it just sucked to see weeds and patches of overgrown gross grass all across the fairways. People have also decided they do not care to repair their divots whatsoever. Had a great time but I expected a little more. I know it’s August. The price just didn’t match the quality of fairways, but it did for the layout and the greens.
